California...here we come...(sigh)

[peachykeen]

Okay, let's face it.  California isn't looking too shabby right now.  Look at it this way:  The reason why a lot of people came to California in the first place was either a) hope or b) greed for gold.  I don't think the greed has left.  If it's either Hollywood or Arnold, the sunny CA is going downhill.......fast.  I really wanted to direct prayers towards the declining state, a lot is going on there that really scares me.  

For example:

On a MTV reality TV show, one of the characters dressed up as Satan and wandered around LA with a sign that said: Keep God out of California (it's a joke but i couldn't help but notice a hint of truth to it, Hollywood refused to back the Passion, and we saw exacally how long those virgin, Jesus-loving people like the good Brittney Spears and the still together uncorrupted N*sync lasted there)  

Please direct your prayers toward the state that might very well be one of the strongest athiest states in the US, and many other countries for that matter.  At this rate, no wonder that state is going to fall into the ocean, it's beginning to sound like a modern day Sodom.  I am really praying that God will begin to spread like wildfire, instead of corrupted movies and politics.  Hollywood sends a lot of messages through the TV and movies and I really wish the problem would stop at one of the sources

No offence is intended to anyone who lives in CA, there are a lot of christians there, they just seem slightly outnumbered by hollywood, etc.  I absolutly love the excitement there and the state itself, but lately I've begun to notice some serious trouble brewing...more so than the normal stuff.

all my love and seeing with my heart, peachy

California is no place to raise a Christian (or any other) family.
The average price of a house is $400,000.
The new Governator is not a Christian.
Being homosexual is 'almost everything'.
Being anti-Christian is 'almost everything else'.
No one speaks English.
State income taxes are the highest in the nation and growing.
Business is leaving California because they can't afford to do business here - insurance is to high (plus the taxes) so there are no jobs.
Not being nice to a trans-sexual is a hate cirme.
Trees are everything, people are nothing.
If you don't toe the secular-humanist line you are a hate-monger.
Protecting your family against intruders, robbers, rapists or murderers is breaking the intruders, robbers, rapists or murderers civil rights.

However, on the "positive" side (according to the liberal agenda) - homosexuality is encouraged, pornography is encouraged, the Bible is Hate speak, the only good Christian is one who is silent, and you can "do it in the road".

California needs prayers - many, many prayers.  



But the weather is nice.
