"The Bible in Today's World" - "Is God Angry at America", Part 1 - Ep.42
Welcome to "The Bible in Today's World", the show that compares today's world with the Word of God.
\n\nIn general and specifically, are we following the Bible in our daily walks? Is society demanding that we follow the Word of God in all that we do?
\n\nDoes our Almighty Father look upon us and frequently say, "Well done, good and faithful servant!" - or is He thinking of us as He thought/thinks of Sodom and Gomorrah?
\n\nOn today's show, we will explore, "Is God Angry at America", Part 1
\n\nWe will also play Part 2 of my interview with KIM A. LARSON:
\n\nKIM A. LARSON, a Christian author from Minnesota, joined us to discuss her book, "Unraveling Fairy Tales - Learning to Live Happily Ever After".
\n\nFROM HER WEBSITE:
\n\nKim Larson writes in a variety of genres, for the youngest to the oldest of readers. Her debut picture book,\xa0Goat\u2019s Boat Won\u2019t Float, will be released in the fall of 2024. She\u2019s published a devotional-style Bible study,\xa0Unraveling Fairy Tales: Learning to Live Happily Ever After, and a dozen poems and short stories in regional anthologies. When she\u2019s not writing, you may find Kim working in her garden or playing Sequence with her husband.
\n\nI grew up on a farm in Minnesota with loving parents and four younger siblings. Life in the 1960s and \u201970s was much simpler, and my parents let us roam freely. The hayloft, farm animals, and my goofy siblings kept me entertained. Maybe that\u2019s why I didn\u2019t enjoy reading as a child\u2014despite what this photo depicts.
\n\nThankfully, that changed in fourth grade. My teacher, Mrs. Zimmerman, read wonderful books to the class. Two of my favorites were\xa0Charlotte\u2019s Web\xa0by E. B. White, and\xa0From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler\xa0by E. L. Konigsburg. Sensing my reluctance to read on my own, my teacher suggested I read\xa0The Boxcar Children\xa0series by Gertrude Chandler. I loved these stories so much that I imagined becoming a writer someday.
\n\nThat dream lay dormant for many years\u2014until I had children. Every night I read to my two boys before bed. I also made up stories, casting Jordan and Jesse as heroes. During the daytime, I helped people\u2019s dream of homeownership come true by originating mortgage loans. When my boys were grown, it was finally time to pursue my own dream!
\n\nWhen I\u2019m not writing, you may find me searching my flowerbed for monarch caterpillars. (Watch one emerge from its chrysalis\xa0here!) I collect flower and vegetable seeds in the fall to plant the following spring. I\u2019m frugal and a homebody, so strolling no farther than my garden for fresh lettuce, cucumbers, and tomatoes brings me joy. But nothing is more important to me than my faith, family, and friends.
