Quiet September Day

While I have been very busy today with many things, it is a very quiet and cool day and I have been pondering again. I have thought about the past week-end that I enjoyed and wondered about the motivation behind so many people who were willing to travel to Washington D. C. at their own expense, pay for lodging, food, etc. I can really only know my own heart and I tend to think that others share the same desire that I have to get this country back to its roots. Perhaps that is not true. I don't know. Maybe some came out of anger or fear. Many certainly came for the love of their country and the desire to be a part of letting our government know we are indeed paying attention to what they are doing, and to keep them accountable to the people who sent them there to represent us. I want my own motivation to be pure and I think it is. My desire is to help people to learn the truth about the Christian founding of our country so that they will know that only the hand of God can bring about true change. Americans, for the most part, are very unaware of their own heritage. Why would they be when they have never been taught it. God has said He will heal our land after we who are called after His name humble ourselves and pray, turn from our own wicked ways and seek Him. That is found in 2 Chronicles 7:14. I actually saw many signs in the crowds last Saturday with this Scripture. That gave me hope. My real trust is in God, not in marchers or tea-partiers. He is still in control. We are just in for a struggle. What else is new......in history? It is just new to us. We have not known the kind of struggles our forefathers experienced. We do have the same God though and He hasn't changed one bit! He will lead us if we will just follow His lead.....back to work now.........

Tea Party Washington D.C.


Blogging is a phenomenon that is new to me. I have finally come to the understanding that this is a valid expression of heart and soul that connect us with those who share common passions.

I was blessed to be able to attend the 9-12 March this past week-end and I was overwhelmed at the number of people who feel as I do about this wonderful nation. Just viewing the numbers of different personalities walking toward the U. S. Capitol in one large mass of humanity was humbling. I saw loud and boisterous people. I saw quiet and pensive people. I saw young people. I saw older people. I saw different races of people. This is America. That is what I observed and I felt in my soul very thankful to be a citizen of the land of the free and the home of the brave. I sense an awakening in the hearts of people. It is not just about the healthcare issue or the financial problems we are currently experiencing. It is much deeper. Freedom has been purchased by the blood of our forefathers and it is a gift from God that we have taken for granted for far too long. It is time to fight again for our freedom and do whatever we can to peacefully reclaim our heritage.
