American is a not a Government

As an American I am appalled and saddened by the direction our country is moving, and indeed has been moving for a very long time. As a nation we are dependent on the governmint. The we should not be dependent on the government; the government is dependent on the us.

I believe in America, not as a government but, as an ideal. I believe in pioneers, in communities, in a in people who stand by each other. I believe in individual’s freedom, in so far as it is neither harmful to another nor detrimental to the continuation of the nation as a whole. I believe in a nation that Trusts in God. 

Americans build cities, companies, and families. We build with sweat, dreams, and faith. We don't need governmint to give us our dreams, we chaise them on our own. 

Americans stand strong...
 

       God Bless America

Teaching the Future

 How do you explain abortion to a child? How do you tell them that this common practice stops a beating heart? How can you say it is alright when just a few years ago they were just the same as the babies who are legally put to death every day? Murder should not be taught as an acceptable alliterative to becoming a parent.

Stop preaching about choices and look at what is going on around you. You could not choose your parents, nor your siblings, nor any other member of your family. What gives you the right to choose which children you will call yours...and which ones you can deny ever existed? You chose the father, now you need to face the future.  It is hard. It is scary. But you got through childhood once; parenthood  is your second chance. Our generation is defined by what we give the next; 

                                Give them life.

Why are they Killing Babies?

My nine year old brother can’t understand why someone would kill babies. “Don't they remember that they were babies too?” he asked me. We think that children can’t understand the evil of our times, but the painful beauty of children is that they can see the wrong, without being burdened by the facts and reasoning shouted by either side. He doesn't know how an abortion is performed, but he knows that it means in the simplest terms; someone is killing babies. He doesn't know why people would do such a thing but he knows that, “when I’m president I’m going to make a law so that nobody can do that anymore.” He doesn't know the fancy words that they try and trick us with. He doesn't know the number of children lost to us. He doesn't know it all, but he knows what matters; people are killing babies and that’s wrong.

I told him that I hoped it wouldn't take until he was old enough to be president to stop abortion. I pray that someone will stop this now, because I don’t ever want to see another nine year old who knows what the evil of abortion is.

Lord, have mercy on our children that they may live to see the end of this horrible time in our history. Have mercy on us that we may see the same.
