It’s Not Too Late!

It’s not too late for things to change for the better.

Today we see the end of August 2022 and the beginning of September with official “Fall” just over 20 days ahead and the momentous mid-term elections coming up in November.

 This country can recover from the Covid-19 panic and the resulting economic disaster.
 The present cultural and racial turmoil can be mitigated just like the virus has been.
 We can return to loving our brothers and sisters and neighbors as ourselves.
 We can treat everyone with dignity and respect – even, or especially those of good will who see politics and culture differently from us.
 We can restore peace and harmony with our families, friends and coworkers by respecting them and treating all with the dignity deserved by one of God’s creation.
 We can help our leaders govern by the constitution and “the rule of law”; we can talk to others who are willing to talk; we can contact our Representatives and Senators and/or the candidates for those offices; we can write letters and post social media messages – all with respect for others; and we can encourage others and ensure that all of us vote.

Things can truly change of we’re willing to put forth our best efforts and solicit help from our Creator.

“With man this is impossible, but not with God; ALL THINGS are possible with God.” Mark 10:27

What can we do?

 Each one of us must begin with honest, thorough self-examination and confession of our flaws to our Creator (of course He knows already but it cleanses our minds to admit our sins to Him)
 Each of us must act upon that repentance by insuring we don’t repeat those mistakes
 We must then encourage our families, friends and neighbors (those who will listen) to do likewise
 There is no need for public voicing of your beliefs (unless you are a preacher, prophet, minister, priest or church leader); let your “sermon” be the way you act and live your life
 Don’t expect the “teachers” in your public or private schools, colleges or universities to teach your beliefs and moral standards to your children. That’s YOUR job!
 Don’t expect politicians to do the “right things”; they get elected by convincing voters that they will do what the voters want them to do. Tell them what you want them to do in person, by phone, in letters or e-mail and by voting for those you think understand what you want them to do.
 Have faith and put your trust in God, Almighty (our Creator), talk to Him frequently, beg His forgiveness of your flaws and thank Him always for this great country He has given us and ask Him to sustain our country, our freedom and our way of life
 Get up off your complacence TODAY and work as hard as you can to make the world a little better for your having passed through it.
