Howdy all! Well, Saturday here in SE Washington State was certainly weird. Thunderstorms, sun, storm, sun, sunny! Clouds, muggy, bright, clouds, sundown. Muggy, bit of a breeze then a beautiful sky full of stars! And I slept through most of it! Ah, gotta love Saturdays!
Any hoo,..
And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns. ~ Philippians 1:6
The American war is over; but this far from being the case with the American revolution. On the contrary, nothing but the first act of the drama is closed. It remains yet to establish and perfect our new forms of government, and to prepare the principles, morals, and manners of our citizens for these forms of government after they are established and brought to perfection. ~ Benjamin Rush, letter to Price, 1786
See! It has been said since, well at least since 1786! The war for independence was over, but the American Revolution was not. It is yet to end. It will only end for two reasons; we lose to socialism, or we rejoice in His return. Just like in Toby Keith’s song ‘Made in America’, we are all like the wife. She’s that wife who decorates on the 4th of July but says, “Every day is Independence day!” The founders spoke of principles and values. We speak of principles and values. We must ALWAYS speak of principles and values. They are what make us American. No other place on earth, at no time in existence has there been such a nation. The people rule by the laws of the land. They select representatives to speak for them, but make no mistake – THE PEOPLE RULE THIS NATION. Says so in the Declaration of Independence. Says so in the Constitution. Says so in my heart. And I bet it says so in yours. Share you principles and values with others. Don’t demand that every accept them. Just share them. Let the people accept as they choose. That is also very American. Do the good work this country deserves and desperately needs. We must continue until He returns. That is our burden. That is our responsibility; our duty. That is our honor. That is our gift.
Take care, God bless,
AND STAND WITH ISRAEL!!!
