And there is no doubt in my mind... ((((( Smiles ))))) Whatsoever..... You do alot, even though there is only so much we can do about them.. Only God has that power to stop this from going on.. But you can warn you have the means the vehicle and thats good! But it's in there in my Strongs Exhaustive Concordence too... I've got an older one and it does say.. Pharmakeia.. from medication.. or pharmakeus ( a drug,ie, spell - giving potion); a druggist ( " pharmacist") or poisoner... It's like reading tomorrows newspaper.. One that never stops giving till it's all done and finnished... And their so good at it too now.. It's done with perfection and fore- thought.. Marvelously done... Going through your friendly doctor.. no wonder so many people let their guard down.. They catch us at a highly emotional time in our life.. Or when we are sick and desperate for help... And of course the side effects of drugs can cause great harm.. But of course there are thoses out there that are so messed up already.. Without it.. They feel like they can't survive in life.. They are just looking for help.... And all I can think about is .. 2 Corinthians 11:14.. For did not Satan marvelously transform himself into an angel of light? or And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light...
And thats the problem.. The hard part about it for people.. It's mixing the good with the bad.. It looks good on the outside and a person can say look at thoses it does help.. Or what it has done.. Just like with the vaccinations or with medication.. But then you dig deeper and say what about this.... What about the arsenic in the chicken soup.... Doesn't that matter too... It's just really hard for alot of people/doctors to seperate that and even then without that.. You have to feel compassion for the people suffering or harmed by their weakness's.. Or the imperfections in life.... By there searching for help for what ails them and it's just so awfull as this.. All thats going on with this in the world right now... and it's hard to fight because it can get turned around on you in the way.. Like you don't care and I know how that feels too.... Because I don't want to see anyone sick or ill or suffering as well.. But this is how it is in the world right now.... as written.... A wake up call and your the alarm clock Russ.... I believe you do have compassion and I believe you do care.. Thats why you stick your neck out there for all of us.. Put yourself on the line.... This must not be real easy at all for you to do.. But you do it anyway.... What conviction, what passion, it's the awe factor... May I be as brave as you someday.. As they say.. No good deed goes unpunished ... Huh Russ... (((( Smiles )))) But thats a human condition anyway... But still it's hard.... It must be hard for you..
Thanks Lynn

If we all did a little, it would make an enormous difference.

This one is right along side Russ' post. It was also said by Edmund Burke, the English parliamentarian:
"All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing."
Thank you, Russ.
