I am reading my way slowly through Jeremiah and its hard. I keep wondering if there are analogies to America. I guess any culture has its faults. There are long chapters about how the people of God will not repent. Then God says the whole land will be desolation.
Then I think about myself. Am I doing what God wants, desiring justice or am I lusting after disgusting things? Am I repenting when God shows me wrong?
How much does God hate my distractions? I play games, watch movies, and watch sports. None of that is sin in and of itself. If I gave that up what would I be doing with my time?
I am distracting myself. It's not sin. But perhaps I could be doing better with my time.
Jeremiah 5:1 - God was looking for one man who seeks justice and loves truth. Do we have people like that in our time? Am I such a one? I think we have some today but their voice is muted. They do not get much attention. People find them boring or embarrassing.
I know I try to be one who loves truth and justice. But how willing am I do be that man when things are going to be to my detriment?

- I am married to DW Barbara. I have been married 30 years this year, wahoo. I have four children. They are all just about grown. My oldest son (DS) has recently given us, with the help of his beautiful wife, a second grandbaby. This one is a girl. His first child is a boy who was one February 7. I have three daughters who are wonderful too. One lives in the NYC area and the other two are in colleges in Texas. I am proud of all my children and thank God for their health and their gifts and talents.
