Just Wondering! Does anyone remember that Premier Nikita Kruschev made the bold statement “We will bury you without firing a shot"?

Janis and me! Janis is my lovely wife of 37 years. We have four wonderful children ranging in ages from 27 to 44. One in Colorado, two in Louisiana and one in Tennessee.
About Me
- L A Brannen
- Cleveland, Tennessee, United States
- I am a retired, ordained bishop with the Church of God (Cleveland, TN). Although I am a Church of God minister, I am serving as an associate pastor at the Assembly of God Church here in Cleveland. (Retirement has it's benefits.) The name of the church is Grace Assembly - a church that I used to pastor. I was an ordained minister in the Assemblies of God for fifteen years. I retired from the pastoral ministry in 2006 but I don't think anyone can ever retire from the ministry. Maybe one can slow down, but cannot stop completely, as long as he/she is still alive and able to perform. My wife, Janis, is still active, full-time in the teaching profession. She has taught over 33 years in the public school system and she looks forward to the day of retirement. She not only has taught school but has filled the role of 'pastor's wife' for 24 years, and has served as a minister's wife for our thirteen other years together. Other than God, Janis has been my security throughout our married life. I am a blessed man.

Yes, I very well remember Krushchev and his temper. At one time he took off his shoe and pounded it on the podium in the UN. I will say this, tho, if we go under it won't be because of anything Krushchev did or said. It will be the result of our own penchant for the world's lifestyle.
I think Krushchev understood (deep in his spirit - as we all do) that man needs God. If he doesn't have God, he will reach out for A god. Eventually, when men take their eyes off God, they will reach out for something else. And government (among other things) will be there to serve as the replacement. Many Americans have become spoiled by our own prosperity - and have succumbed to, as Uncle Fred said, the world's lifestyle. This, I think, always leads to reliance on what the world offers - a big government perhaps.
I'm optimistic America will not go down that road anytime soon. There are too many believers on their knees....I hope.
I can't say that I actually remember him much since I was born in 1960. But, I have heard the "shoe" story. He must have been interesting. Can't say he's on my "would like to meet" list. :)
