I knew this wise old German man once. Well, he was actually first generation American, and he was probably younger than me at the time.
of course.,
But he used to say, "By God! The whole damn world is going to Hell in a hand basket." He had a booming, deep voice that caused the air to vibrate and a brisk wind to tussle every hair on every head in the room when he spoke in anger. Cursing was saved for those special times. Optimum impact, of course. He always said this when watching the news. With a heaping bowl of goulash sitting on the dinner table between him and the television, he would pound upon the table with his fist, causing the bowl jump enough to go clunk against the wooden table top, but not enough to spill over the edges. Everyone at the table would jump, too, just a bit.
When he spoke that way, I believed him. Even if I wasn't quite sure where the expression "going to Hell in a hand basket" came from, I knew exactly what it meant.
Tell you what. If only I had a bowl of goulash sitting in front of me, and a young girl for an audience, I would pound my table right now. I would speak with my deepest voice and cause the wind to blow her hair like a hurricane.
"By golly," I would say, "This old world is going to Hell in a hand basket," and you would know exactly what I mean.
What is happening in this world when the President of the United States of America says things like, "God bless you, Planned Parenthood." Reporters who were there said he actually told the abortionists, "You're doing God's work."
God's work? Abortion?
Nancy Pelosi has said similar things recently. As a matter of fact, I have begun to notice that the radical left is perverting God's word more and more, until very little of what they attribute to God resembles anything I might find in my Bible.
I have to wonder. What god are they talking about?
