"Today makes and sets the stage for tomorrow" ! Thank you, David!

"today makes and sets the stage for tomorrow"...a really good thing to remember, not only with stuff, but relationships.
AND history...give this a thought...our ancestors left off telling their history so that today our nation is going in so many different directions of confusion we hardly know what side is up, except for what we want at the moment. I'm not talking so much about people who have grown up with a solid set of values but those who didn't grow up knowing there is a pre-set system of right and wrong, bad-better-best way of living. Our nation is very much a needy mission field!
Today makes and sets the stage for tomorrow---every time an unchurched immigrant was left to live life as best he could without the church embracing him, he began a community at odds with the church and began a downward spiral. Whenever a son or daughter left home without a strong connection to the church, the same resulted.
Because the Judeo-Christian life is the only basis of civilization, to begin a community without the church is to set the stage for disaster in the future. We have been slowly steeped in the ideas of our society that we are numb to the horrors right around us and need to purposefully and aggresively focus on God alone for our own personal value system of thought. Today sets the stage for tomorrow---the stage was set for the aborting of 40,000,000 human beings to be killed in their mother's wombs. The stage was set for children to be subject to unimagineable horrors in child porn, too often being murdered on film for some kind of sick pleasure.
What are we going to set up for the next play in our own personal life?
