A wise friend once said that the bible is just a means of helping us do a good deed (fear to keep us in line)

I recall when I was a child and hiding under my chair during World War II. Afraid of the atomic bomb. So afraid after reading and hearing the paper boy shout out the extra for the paper. PEARL HARBOR ATTACKED. That fear truly never left me. My next big fear was afraid of my beloved bent sent to Lebanon. Then one of the worse fears during the Cuba crisis. Two babies. One 2 and one 5 months. A husband who worked in a capacity he could not get home to me to help me. His was a job that was necessary he be there. I knew this. The fear of this time was horrible. I stored bottles of water and food. Then I realized how foolish this was. How could I carry my two babies and where would I go to.
Life goes on. Now I see fear as acceptance. Life has changed. People have changed. I think back and despite my age of near 70 (I truly cannot believe this) and my husband at near 71, I would not want to do it all over again. Our children are grown and happy. This world is a mess. Corruption all over.
So we live and love and just let the rest of the world go by. And probably in 100 years people will be saying the same things.
Yeah but what did you think about 9/11 and the terrorism in our present time. Its a disgrace. Were not living in fear of some clown blowing up the world, just the average suicide bomber blowing his brains out on the bus to work.
