I was just watching the news on CNN, it's now 9:24 on Saturday morning. I was looking for one positive story, something uplifting, something not about evil. But what that hour brought was:
- Administration's reviewing policy on Pakistan and Afghanistan
- American soldiers dyeing because time taking on review
- Announcing a special on Jonestown and Jim Jones
- Floods in Arkansas
- Attack on military check point
- Sunami hits American Samoa
- The economy
After that much negative information, I wondered did nothing good happen in the world? Did not God do a healing miracle yesterday? Or did He take the day off. Did nobody help anybody yesterday or last night? Didn't anything good happen at all.
This country's news sources live on negative situations or conditions. They are planting seeds of discourse. No wonder people in this country to a large degree have such a fearful and negative outlook. You become what you take in your mind, you become what you buy into.
Wouldn't it be a pleasant departure if the news organizations reported good things, or if just half of what they reported was good? People are actually helping each other, and God is actually healing and saving people. We live in a still free society.
We do really have in the media a anti God does anything policy, it's also in the schools, and in the government, and in industry, and worst of all in the medical community. Some people actually believer that God is in our imagination and really doesn't do anything. He just sits up there and watches and makes notes. Wonder what God thinks about that?
Let's start with a national good news day and limit the negative to only impending doom and warnings to protect our citizens if a tornado is coming.
We need to get off this bad news kick.
