SAMUEL 18
Psalm 2:1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
Psalm 2:2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
Psalm 2:3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
Psalm 2:4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision.

NEW-
I talk a little about Yemen and a few news reports.
Real brief-
This week the media reported that some ‘mass graves’ were found in ISIS territory.
If they killed civilians- or prisoners- bad.
But- the way the media has reported ‘mass graves’ is sort of like it’s better- to blow people up- and kill them- then to actually bury them in a grave.
There have been wars [Iraq] where many people have been killed by the U.S.- and many of them were never buried- yet we seem to think ‘mass killing’ is ok- but a ‘mass grave’ is bad.
Yemen-
In Yemen there is a war going on- Saudi Arabia is bombing Yemen.
They are fighting a proxy war against Iran.
There are various views on whose right.
But- the U.S. has been arming Saudi Arabia- and if we simply stop arming them- this would be an easy way to end a war.
The U.N. had reported war crimes in Yemen- and all it would take is for the U.S. to stop selling them arms.
I know this is simplistic- but it is a much easier way to end the conflict- then in Syria and other parts of the world.
We often overlook the simple stuff
