Will New Mexico ever be good in something? I love the people of this state and God’s beauty, but the state is buried in so much ugly and it goes on and on and on……nothing changes…….always near or at the bottom in everything good. What is it going to take? What don’t we understand about respecting your elders? These precious souls deserve better from us all! What is it that causes this darkness in New Mexico year after year……what is it? It is Spiritual for sure. This cycle of continued darkness, from abortion, to child abuse, to child hunger, adult hunger, homelessness, to suicide, drug addiction, drunk driving deaths, failed educational system, corruption in government, violent crime, families killing their own family members on and on. Satan is having his way with so very many. Will New Mexico ever have a TRUE REVIVAL FOR OUR LORD?
