Just My Thoughts

Where we did we go wrong as a nation? Why do we spend so much time and resources trying to change the world when our country is in turmoil. We want every country on the face of the planet to adopt our way of a democratic  lifestyle when it's broken. We worry about feeding the world when we have starving people living here in our country. We value the lives of animals more than humans. If you have money and power you have a different set of rights in our justice system  than those with with less. We use tragic world events for political gain. I was taught if you want change it all starts with the person staring back at you in the mirror.
     At one time I believe we were the best country on earth but we have lost our way. We have allowed political correctness to dominate our thinking instead of calling it like it is. We have taken Christ out of Christmas to avoid offending the non believer.  We spend our energy getting upset about a paper cup from starbucks. If you don't agree with a corporation's decision stop patronizing them and they will get the message. We hold the power. When a court of law gives some one a harsher sentence for animal cruelty than for taking a human life, we have a problem with our justice system.  If we have a society that no longer respects authority we have a problem. We have a government that is so corrupt that is filled with greed. We have big banks manipulating Wall Street to make billions only to get slapped on the hand. They are stealing from us and nothing is done. We have lobbyist controlling what laws are passed and the ones that are,  benefit the rich and powerful. Money in itself is not evil. It's the love of money that is evil. It's like breathing it's essential to living life.  My question is how much money is enough? How much more do they need to steal from us to have enough? How many more rights will they strip from us? When will we say that we have had enough? Will the next terrorist attack on our soil be the springboard for our rights to be taken? Only time will tell but the surety and fact is there will be an attack here.
   Our country can be great again if we put God first . He will protect us if we put him first.  The world offers many gods but unless you believe in the one true God and except his son Jesus Christ your belief is in vain. That is an unpopular statement and political correctness will stifle the message in the event it would offend the non believer in which case now they have more rights than me.  I believe if you want to know what's wrong with our country it all starts there. When we got away from what our country was founded on we were headed down a dark path. That's my opinion for what it's worth.
Happy Sunday pray for Paris ,the world  and God Bless America.
