Is it true? Will it last. Will you still be saying the same kinds of things six months from now? Six years from now. I remember when many people were excited about Fidel Castro. Oh, this is difficult. It's coming from Christians, not Communists. This may really be different. However, Christiantiy has had 2000 years to change the world. It may get you to Heaven. There's no way to tell. I can imagine the world being worse than it is, but I would have to stop and think about it for a while. In any case, my prediction is that human civilization ends by the end of the centur. As I am 65 years old, I don't give much of a ---t, except that I am fond of my granddaughter who is only five years old. This sounds good. Is it true? Will it last.

It is time for people to wake in Guatemala and realize that if the "people" don't stand up against oppression, violence and apathy, the country will crumble and at long last "evil" shall prevail. Government officials and any other related official must understand that the people are watching and they care, that the work they were hired to make must in deed be done to perfection; if that doesn't happen, they must fear consequences. Them being paid to do a work they don't do, for fear or indifference, is equally wrong as those who are corrupt. People shouldn't be afraid of their governments, Governments should be afraid of its people.

Praise the Lord for this great outpouring.
