"HYMN"-RANDY STONEHILL
"All along a muddy, sunken roadway they lay, hundreds of wounded, brown blanket shapes, some shouting, some moaning, some singing in delirium...
The sound of their cries had a uniform level of muted anguish and despair.
During the night they'd become little boys again and were crying in the heat for their mothers, for help, for water, for death, for God, in a vast and terrible monotone, while an elderly staff officer moved among them, trying to tell them it was worth it as we'd won."

Your host a 'recovering politician' working on political sobriety to face reality with confidence I am led to this message that Dr. Billy Graham gave in 1980 called "World Revolution"...
"Jesus said our problems come from within. Your problems are not without. It's not the environment of your home or neighborhood or any of those other things. The basic problem is in your heart.
And it cannot be solved by these superficial remedies that we bring like alcohol or drugs or something else.
It's solved by a revolution that God brings 'I will overturn it' he says 'I will change you if you will let me'..."
