Momma Said

I am writing this just a day from the great debate with the United States and North Korea.  I hope things do not excalate out of hand.  If President Trump can keep his finger off the Tweet button and act like a world leader maybe we won’t get blown to pieces. Momma Said, “If all the Miss America’s in history can come together and hope for World Peace we may have a chance.”

I don’t understand the world of politics and I never will, but I don’t understand why we can’t all get along.  Now we are fighting with our allies and making more enemies than ever.  I just pray that everyone keeps their fingers off the big red button.  We are in a very precarious situation and I hope things can be worked out.  I don’t ever want to see situations get to the point of no return.  Momma Said, “That is a bell that can’t be unrung.”

It is bad enough to watch scenarios of a nuclear winter on TV but I don’t ever want to think that could happen to our world. The Bible does say that the world will be consumed by fire this time around.  I don’t think it could get any worse than a nuclear bomb going off.  I think that would be the end for us.

Everyone out there pray for our country and the world because I think we need all the help we can get right about now.
