My Way News - The Week That Was in America: Draining
I'd like to call you attention to an important news report. It's a summary of last week's dramatic events that were notable for their drama, severity, and frequency. AP reports:

Rarely in modern memory has spectacle been so intense as to be both numbing and utterly addictive to watch. There was, of course, that indelible week in September 2001. And the excruciating weekend in 1963 that began with a president cut down by bullets and ended with his assassin falling to the same fate. There were riots in the 1960s, hostage crises in the 1970s, a shuttle explosion in the 1980s and a white Bronco and a blue dress in the 1990s. [...] What made the past week so unsettling, so utterly rubberneckable, was not only the nature of events but their breadth.

This is an extraordinary report. You know, skeptics like to say that things continue on as they always have, but this report underscores the notion that we are witnessing now is an increase in dramatic events. The spiritual purpose of these events is to serve as a wake-up call, a warning, a shock to the system to shake you out of your complacency, challenge your certitudes, and force you to think about the things that really matter in life. If you died today, what would be your fate? Can you be certain? You are reading this right now on a computer, and chances are, you've saved your personal data. Have you saved your soul? Act now to save the most important data you own before your system crashes.
