An End of an Era--or the Beginning of a Worse One?

This morning I heard on Fox News Channel on my XM Radio that Fidel Castro has ceded power and reign of Cuba to his brother, Raul. So my question is this--is this the end of communism in Cuba, or could it be the start of an even worse regime? Frankly, I don't think anyone knows. The stories coming out of Cuba indicate that Raul Castro could allow more freedoms for the Cuban people, or he could be an even worse tyrant than his big brother! I guess time will tell.

As a Christian, I don't want to wish any evil on Mr. Fidel Castro (although I would be "justified" by earthly means to), and I hope that he survives his surgery for one purpose, and one purpose alone--that he could see the error of his ways and receive Jesus the Anointed as his Savior...but, in reality, I think Fidel is beyond the point of spiritual return. Still, I do not wish death on the man...it is simply not the Christian thing to do.

I do hope, however, that Cuba will finally be able to pull away from Communism and into a democracy...solely for the benefit of the Cuban people. They do not deserve to live under oppression and poverty simply so their "rulers" can grow in prosperity.

Well, that's my thoughts for this afternoon on Cuba...more to come later.
