Frightening Changes Are Taking Place In America


Rip Van Winkle is the familiar story of a man who falls asleep and sleeps for more than 50 years.
He awakes to discover shocking changes. His musket is rotting and rusty, his beard is a foot long, and his dog is nowhere to be found.

Waking up in today's culture, might seem like the story of Rip Van Winkle. A lot has changed!  Today's culture bares no resemblance to the Leave it to Beaver generation.  As a matter of fact, if Marsha Brady were to wake up and see what America has become, she would run home screaming in fear.

More than eight years ago, we, the American people,, elected the first black president who promised to change America.  Is this the kind of change that he was talking about?  One thing is certain, America has changed.  However, is it for the better?   As we read the headlines daily, we see a cascading erosion of moral and ethical values that is leading us to the brinks of hedonism.

All this makes me wonder.  What will America be like if we continue to take long naps?
