@sadieml I couldn't agree more.
I worked in public schools for 14 years and the changes during that time in what and how the children are taught and the way the parents treat the teachers IN FRONT OF THEIR CHILDREN was enough to make me happy that my own kids were out of school and even happier to retire from that madness. And that is what it is...madness. When my children were in school they were still allowed Bible studies, prayers before football games, prayers at graduation, and no one complained. And the pledge of allegiance was said every day. Not anymore, we might offend someone, but no one cares if a Christian is offended.
I too believe end times are among us but our grandparents said that too. It is just sad how every generation gets a little further removed from the core values our country was founded on and no one seems to notice. As a world we have become desensitized. Without a belief in God right or wrong is only what the laws make it, no more and no less. And if we don't trust govt. then why would a person trust or follow their laws; maybe all the laws they make are wrong, not just some of them. If only the govt tells me "not to murder someone" what do they know? But if God says it then it is so. And it used to be that we could trust that our Govt was God fearing too and would not lead us astray. It is a crazy mixed up world.
See what you started
I have probably said to much already. I have opinions too and I don't just get blindly led, but it is just that I believe God has my back and I have to trust Him to deal with what is His. Life is to short for me to try and learn to do His job. 
This works for me.
Didn't mean to turn this into a sermon.
