This is Not Our First Rodeo, But is it Our Last?
By Patti Maguire Armstrong
For those who think the world has gone mad, remember this is not our
first rodeo. Sanity has only been with us in bits and pieces throughout
history. Evil and persecution is a mainstay on this planet. For a time,
some of us were lured into complacency back when television was
wholesome, babies were protected blessings, and it seemed we all agreed
on what was evil and what was good.
But changes in attitude are happening fast and furiously–emphasis on
furious. For instance, it seems like just yesterday (1996 to be exact)
that it was safe to defend traditional marriage. That was the year Bill
and Hillary Clinton supported the Defense of Marriage Act, defining
marriage as between one man and one woman only to later change their
minds. Now, if you say you are in favor of traditional marriage, you
will be persecuted faster than you can say Chick-Fil-A.
Let’s not be surprised, however. “Remember what I told you: ‘A
servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they
will persecute you also.” (John 15:20).
Patti Maguire Armstrong and her husband have ten children. She is a
writer with Teresa Tomeo Communications, an award-winning author, and

Series. She has appeared on TV and radio stations across the country.
