Violence in Mexico

Some peo­ple may be won­der­ing about the vio­lence in Mex­ico. Yes, there is a lot of vio­lence in Mex­ico. Down here we hear of a lot of stuff all the time, and quite frankly, there are no such thing as a “hot zone”. Every­where there are deaths and vio­lence. From the best I can under­stand the sit­u­a­tion, most of the death is drug-gang related, even the deaths of teens by drug lords. A Fed­eral police­man told me that the soc­cer team that was cel­e­brat­ing a vic­tory and got wiped out was actu­ally a gang that they formed among upper class kids. A rival gang didn’t like their vic­tory. When the kids have par­ents that are drug deal­ers, they have easy access to high pow­ered arms and peo­ple who will use them to kill.

It is my under­stand­ing that the drug infil­tra­tion has gone into the entire gov­ern­ment, police forces, and mil­i­tary, and this extends all the way up to Calderon, the pres­i­dent of Mex­ico. The sit­u­a­tion just is impos­si­ble to cor­rect with­out start­ing at the top, and this won’t hap­pen very eas­ily. We are cur­rently in a down­ward spi­ral which will get worse and worse. As the econ­omy gets worse and worse, the drug lords will start offer­ing to pay off the national debt and other such non-sense, and that is when they will legal­ize drugs and the rich will enter big time into the drug traf­fic with­out it being illegal.

From my point of view, I don’t think our Lord can delay His com­ing very much longer. Things are get­ting too close to the Antichrist’s gov­ern­ment in our world, and either He will send a revival as a reprive of things, or they will start lock­ing up Chris­tians. Frankly I fear more the US than Mex­ico on that point.

Hello world!

Hi world! This is my first post in this blog. Started Abril 12, 2010. I learned Word Press Mon­day of last week. Tues­day I started www.davidcoxsermones.com, and have it up and work­ing. The rest of last week I searched for wid­gets and plu­g­ins to make this thing half way decent. This week I am start­ing the Eng­lish coun­ter­part (this blog). What fun! My head hurts! All that learn­ing of a new pro­gram that is totally strange to me, and learn­ing how to make it work (end­less google searches and youtube searches on this that and the other), was done between preach­ing Wednes­day night, wit­ness­ing 3 hours Sat, and between clean­ing the church and a friend invited us to eat with him after­wards, I left the house at 10AM and got home at 5PM. Sun­day I preached Adult Sun­day School, AM and PM ser­vices, and in addi­tion I wrote the Inter­me­di­ate and Youth Sun­day School Classes, not to men­tion mak­ing the evening ser­vice into a tract (Gos­sipers). So I had about 6 prepa­ra­tions, and I did next weeks Inter­me­di­ates, so that makes seven. (My kids home school­ing was light last week). Busy week. By Sun­day night I was horse and today I am worse. Stay­ing up at night work­ing on these things is a killer.
