What's It All About, Alfie - Part 2

By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

Madness and Helter Skelter appear to be everywhere, every day. It's as though the asylums of the world have opened their doors wide, and the inmates are shaping lives and countries globally. Where is God in midst of this chaos? Here, there and everywhere. But God gave us free will.[2]

Man needs to reign in the insanity, and say enough is enough, and mean it this time.[3] The threat of nation-ending wars hangs over our heads, each and every day.[4] But it is the internal chaos that is the most unsettling. Are we and our loved ones safe anywhere?[5] Let's hope and pray—and yes believe—that we are not heading for oblivion like the dinosaurs.
