    Thank God for the American People

    Friday, June 8, 2012, 1:45 PM [Character of the Christ]

    My love for this country is soley because of the spiritual compass of its people.

    As media is used by politics, American people arent as dumb as those in power would believe her to be.

    When some claim that our Anthem should be changed because it has military overtones. I would suggest that the sentence "land of the free and home of the brave", is far from one dimensional. Freedom and bravery can be even more spiritual in its meaning than this dissenter would believe.

    When I think of who is brave in our country, of course the first people who come to mind, are our troops. But not because they are carrying weapons of war, but because they are brave enough to fight for something they believe in. Im certain these same men, would be the first responders to anything where a brave soul would be needed. There is such a thing as a Spirit of Courage...just as there is value in the sincereity of ones purpose.

    Thank GOD for the American people. They know when things arent fair, and know that it isnt their government that makes things fair. They know there is no difference between a Unions greed, than that of Wall Streets greed. They know its not money that makes men greedy, its men who care nothing for others than that make them take more than give. And that its that attitude in man, his spiritual lack, that makes him believe, he deserves more. No government can equalize fairness, because just taking from another by force of law, screams unfair! Giving is a natural from one man to another. It becomes un-natural when what is given gets lost to the hand of a special interest group, or is thrown at a problem, which no amount of money has ever corrected the inherrent problem ! And its the peoples moral compass that knows thats a truth!

    Have we lost our way as a people? I truly dont believe we have. In fact, I believe we are in a way, beginning to recover from a period of selfishness and special interest. And when I say that, I dont have government as the solution in mind. Nor do I believe does the American people. They know no one is special, unless we all are. They as a whole, have ideals and firm convictions of what makes a man of good character. They know right from wrong, and dont need help in seeing when the country has lost its footing. They arent lead by polls, or pundits, they are the Soul of AMerica. They dont hate the rich, because they dont hate anyone. They are a truly compassionate people. They see America as the Heart of GOD, and they see themselves as good people.

    Those who dont see American in that Light, are the ones who have the problems. And even they are allowed to see things their way. We just dont all want to be lumped together with AMericas dissenters.  We are in inclusive people, thats why no one will ever again win, with a message that divides us. We know better. Oh we may get fooled by who will be the one able to unite us, but we still have hope there is that person, just waiting for Gods moment to come forth in our time, to restore our moral high ground.

    Americans, if nothing else, respect people of good character. They want their leaders to represent their highest values, and principles. They dont like people who con them, or buy them, or lie to them. They will always invoke, their highest good. And even as the media, and the Political class, wants them to believe, its they who tells them how to think. America instinctively knows the right direction. Because so many of them, walk by faith...and not by sight. They believe more in the Heart of God as their leader, than any temporal political position. They recognize the changes needed, without taking a litmus test. They dont accept polls, because they know its how the question was asked, that induces the answer. Americans are far from dumb. And as the media laughs regarding AMericas lack of interest in the truth. I believe they will be the ones, who will be learning more from America. For America is awaiting a new world, where better people will be "on which we stand"...as One Nation Under GOD..no matter who is offended by HIS NAME..they will say it anyway!..and no court or ACLU or, school board, or any overly sensitive liberal, offended by His Name, will no longer hold power over His people. For the American people now know full well, where their real POWER RESIDES!
