Be Encouraged 3/10/12

Howdy all!  Well, it’s the weekend again.  I’d like to say it is busy around the compound, but it’s too busy to say that!  (Can you say conundrum?)  And the weekend looks to be real busy, so I am sending this out on Friday.  I hope this doesn’t mess up your score card! 

Any hoo,..

You are the light of the world - like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. ~ Matthew 5:14

We are firmly convinced, and we act on that conviction, that with nations as with individuals our interests soundly calculated will ever be found inseparable from our moral duties, and history bears witness to the fact that a just nation is trusted on its word when recourse is had to armaments and wars to bridle others. ~ Thomas Jefferson, Second Inaugural Address, 1805

America and Americans are truly unique.  Nowhere, and at no time in history has any group of individuals acted as one on so many occasions to stand for what they believe is right and just.  Even just thinking about this statement makes my chest pump out in such pride and joy I can feel my heart smiling!!  Jefferson says in his address that Americans act on the conviction that a nation and its people acting as one are trusted on their word.  It is this conviction that has made us the city on the hill.  So, why then do Americans want to end the conviction and dedication we have embraced for so long?  Just look at Facebook.  Look at the apps that show up, asking you to ‘like’ this cause or that.  Some are funny, some are serious.  Some are focused on a truly necessary charity.  But, some are centered on the hate they have for any considered conservative.  Take for example the issue surrounding Rush Limbaugh.  You know those silly little apps that show up on Facebook that ask you to click ‘like’ if you are for this issue or that concern?  Well there is one that asks to like if Rush should lose sponsors.  Do you know where it comes from?  It’s a website called credoaction.com.  They have a list of different causes, mostly liberal to socialistic.  They are in turn sponsored by another group called workingassets.com. These guys support groups like credoaction.com through a cell phone service.  When the cell phone user uses the phone, working assets gets a donation that can go to whatever cause the phone user wants.  I wonder what happens when the phone user doesn’t choose a cause.  I wonder how many causes are funded this way.  I wonder if the free phones given away to the poor somehow give money to this cause.

So, what to do?  Just like anything else, vet it out.  I’m looking, and would like some company!  Better, find something that you question, and vet it out.  We can act together, as a nation, and be found inseparable from our moral duties to our nation.  Jesus is the light of the world, amen, like a city on a hill that cannot be hidden, amen.  So too, our nation is the city on the hill.  Others are trying to hide us.  Keep the lights shining.  Don’t ever let it go out.  Do what you must, even if alone.  A question has been asked, “Who will be the next Breitbart?”  We all can be, for he was one of us – We the People.

Take care, God bless,

AND STAND WITH ISRAEL!!
