American Pride


Sitting here in my little study, I was just thinking how quiet it is in here; in my own home; in my own town; in my own state.  Very quiet-here.  But I look all around the world and see caus.  Killings; terrorism, bombs; cities going bankrupt.  I read about Rome today.  It is going down hill.  The city is in disarray.  It's not just overseas; it is here, the good ole USA.  Killings, beheadings-where is it safe anymore.  Out children aren't safe, our military aren't safe, no one is safe anymore.  This is not the America I know.  The America I knew was strong, proud, powerful; a world power.  I felt safe.  No more.  Our politicians promise this, that and everything else just to get elected.  Then after, they get amnesia.  Where is the America I knew, where children were respectful, teachers were held in high esteem, hard work and integrity were virtues held by many.  What happened?  Well we all know that answer.  Most people have turned their back on God.  The God that was in our homes, our schools, our workplace.  That God was taken out.  No need to be moral; do whatever feels good.  No need to work; the gov't has many programs just so you can sit back and collect.  Why work? You get paid less.  Where did our sense of pride go; our work ethic?

Yes, it is quiet here; very quiet.  But I don't know how long that is going to last.
