ACTION

Howdy all!  Here comes another week.  What will it bring?  More scandal?  Intrigue?  Comedy?  Drama of course.  I guess that is up to us all.  That is, of course unless you are the first lady.  Then you can take a trip to Aspen for skiing, right after the trip to Hawaii.  Gee, it sure is amazing that the first family can be so adamant about robbing, er, I mean redistributing from the rich, er, I mean anyone and giving it to the poor, er, I mean their friends, and still have time to whisk away to the Rockies for some very extensive bling-letting to recover from all that socialism.

Any hoo,..

Shout to the LORD, all the earth; break out in praise and sing for joy! ~ Psalm 98:4

Born in other countries, yet believing you could be happy in this, our laws acknowledge, as they should do, your right to join us in society, conforming, as I doubt not you will do, to our established rules. That these rules shall be as equal as prudential considerations will admit, will certainly be the aim of our legislatures, general and particular. --Thomas Jefferson, letter to Hugh White, 1801

Do you thank your Creator?  Do you pray to Him for thanks?  And if (I hope when) you do, do you thank Him for America?  I do every night.  I thank Him for bringing our founders together at the same time and same place to leave a legacy that is matched by none this earth has ever known.  And it’s OURS!  Best of all, we wish to share it with others.  And that is where people divide.  Most Americans want to share this land with those who are willing to contribute, as mentioned in yesterday’s message.  And, we want those we share with to follow the rules.  As Jefferson puts it, “your right to join us in society, conforming, as I doubt not you will do, to our established rules.”  In other words, he says that it is a foregone conclusion that those who wish to join us WANT to follow the rules, the laws.  And We the People have recognized and accepted this foregone conclusion for the last 235 years in accepting new neighbors.  So why is it so hard for our present administration and pile of, er, federally elected employees to enforce, upon the new neighbors, the requirement to conform to established rules?  It is not a terrible thing for any single person or entity to expect all those within the confines of our borders to follow the laws and rules established by good intentioned legislative bodies.  Everyone within our borders is expected to follow the laws, or expect to pay the consequences if they don’t. 

So, many of our elected employees would rather turn a blind eye.  Some don’t, but many do.  Maybe it’s your representative, or Senator.   What do you do?  The easiest thing is to vote against them, and convince your friends and neighbors to vote against them as well; in the primaries, and general elections.  You don’t have a primary?  Then go to caucus.  Local elections?  Get involved.  BE A CANDIDATE YOURSELF!  I love this country, and my neighborhood.  So I became a precinct commission officer; PCO.  I pray every night, thanking God for my family, friends and country.  But if I just pray, and don’t do what I can to preserve, protect and defend, then I am not living up to the promise of my prayers.  So, what will you do?

Take care, God bless,

AND STAND WITH ISRAEL!!
