A tolling bell gets my attention, every time. Along with buzzes, flashing lights and sirens, it makes me stop and look, donchaknow.  I have a deep concern for the number of states who are now considering legalization of “Pot”.  If you have ever been around people who are on marijuana, you know they are ‘impaired’. They use the drug to get to that state. I understand there are folks who need it for medical reasons, but I am unconvinced that there isn’t another alternative isn’t addictive. I’ve had addiction, and some I continue to fight against. I deplore abuse of alcohol or any other behaviour altering substance. It just doesn’t seem the Christian thing to do by voting to legalize any of it. Sin Nature doesn’t need any help. It is already the most powerful problem facing humanity. It needs no additional substance to perform perfectly. I can’t overcome it without Divine Empowerment and to introduce any substance that alters that possibility simply is illicit. Things are not good now, but if we continue to ignore GOD, we will certainly be a “Nation Under SIN” and that’s for sure. We were not put here to make that mistake, donchaknow. Really!  And that’s what I get from My Box of Chocolates.   AMEN
