I am so proud of Kosciusko County. Overwhelmingly we voted for McCain/Palin. Did we lose? I don't think so. Several churches actually called prayer meetings and got on their knees and prayed. And many of us are continuing to pray. Consider this scenario:
We have several real enemies: Iran, North Korea, China, Russia and Muslim extremists. Each of them has the capability of bringing down our house.
Only God's protection and kindness has kept us safe thus far.
Imagine this scenario: We all know that there are a number of Shahab-3 missiles floating around. All it takes is money and the right connections, and you can own one.
A freighter off the California or East Coast could easily come close enough to the United States to launch a nuclear-armed missile like this.
If such a missile exploded 300 miles above any of our major cities (and let's assume that our enemies launched only one such missile), it would create an electromagnetic pulse.
Perhaps you have never heard of an EMP, as it is referred to by those in the know. An EMP scatters gamma rays in what is called the Compton Effect. These pulses can disable automobiles, consumer electronics and, most importantly, the hundreds of large transformers that distribute power throughout America. All of our television sets, radios, refrigerators, furnaces, electric lights, pumps for our wells and a lot of other modern conveniences that we are so used to having at our fingertips would instantly be gone.
Probably millions of us would die from lack of water, food and other necessities, like heat for our homes. There would be mass social breakdown, and there would not be enough law enforcement available to keep order.
I'm not a doomsday kind of person. But I also am not the kind of a person who sticks his head in the sand (five hours of TV each day) and pretends that nothing can go wrong.
Folks, if there has ever been a time to pray, it is now.
We not only need to pray for our nation, but we need to pray that God will give us wisdom during these last days. Preparing ahead of time is vital.
