MEXICO CITY -- The Mexican government says it will honor U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy for his defense of immigrant rights. Mexico announced Friday it will award the Massachusetts Democrat the Aguila Azteca, the highest honor the government can bestow on foreign dignitaries. An announcement published by Mexico's federal registry says Kennedy will receive the sash Friday. Mexico says the Massachusetts Democrat has denounced injustices against migrants and "highlighted the importance of addressing illegal immigration by looking for an integral solution." The Massachusetts Democrat was diagnosed with brain cancer in May and has been receiving radiation and chemotherapy treatments in his home state. -- The Associated Press

I am so glad to know that God has control and the final say of this world. If it were left up to us, we would and have made this world the biggest mess ever. When we give out awards for lawlessness and honor the lawless, we are dishonoring God contrary to what many think. Yes God does forgive and forget BUT, He also tells us to "repent and to sin no more!"
