Changes: What's Next?

Isn't it mindboggling to think about all the things that have happened in the past 50 to 100 years? All the inventions, the wars, the improvements, the fashions, the morals of the people, the faith in things versus God? For you seniors like me, it's almost unreal to even fathom all the changes that have taken place (there are several emails floating around out there that allude to many of these changes). You younger readers can also see many, many changes in your very short lives. How many of you had computers in elementary school or at home? Did you have a cell phone in your purse or on your belt? (When I was a child, we informed our parents of our whereabouts by the old black dial-up phone with a cord attached to the wall, while you say nothing and your folks know where you are). None of you had ipods and many of you still don't. I could go on and on with this; yet, I say this to remind us all of the difficult times the young and old faced in a country called Norway, 66 years ago in the 6th month. They surrendered their freedoms to the Nazis on this day. Imagine...giving up your cell phones, your ipods, your many freedoms. I couldn't do it; at least, I would have difficulty doing it. We cannot give up on our freedoms; we cannot give up on those who are fighting for our freedoms; we must stand behind our countrymen and our country. Now that more progress seems to be in the future, what can we do? What's next? We must pray, show our support, and stand up for America! Let's do it!
