Reflections by Alta Nye Ox?ndln*
BEAl'TIFl'L SI NSET
Dining home on Tuesday I tried to dunk in" the unique splendor ot'that
du\'s sunset It begun with patches of gleaming sunlight and shadows, and
continued with clouds changing lintn bright, light colors to darker graver hues
SOMETHING POSITIVE It) WRITE ABOUT IN THIS COLUMN. I was
thinking And so it is'
BL'SH AND Pl'TIN
Not long alter. 1 saw a "clip" of President Hush declaring that he and
Vladitnii Putin had developed such a relationship of "TRUST' that they did not
need to put down in writing their pledges to each other The way it HIT me
was that a former KGB agent was being trusted as if he were a long-time
FRIEND I went into depression Another NAIVE piesident1
No one in a position of power in this country seems to be considering the
POSSIBILITY that we are being' USED (at this tune of vulnerability) to
accomplish the long-time objectives of the former Soviet Union. Communist
China, and the ENTIRE international Communist (so-called) Party I can
stand living with the threat of terrorism, but I do not want to live in a place
controlled by Communists'
My nuKxl had changed to the point where I began experiencing a bout of
"suicide feelings" for the first time in years' By bedtime I was feeling
somewhat better In the night I got up and wrote out niv feelings of concern
about this president's naivete, as well as that of his predecessors
Maybe 1 can share more of those thoughts later But right now I want to
implore EVERY PERSON who believes in God to prav for our current
president, that he w ill NOT focus his anger so much on (>sama bin Laden that
(without realizing it) he gels involved in furthering an even GREATER
TRAGEDY, the loss of our American freedom to worship freely, or even
THINK for ourselves'
Perhaps, however. God wants us to PRAY FOR PUTIN, that he will
TRULY make a TOTAL change in his life, accepting the fact that God is real,
alter all, and that he himself needs to turn over his life and all his responsibilities
to the God of the universe! liven Communist atheists CAN become
Christians'
