State of the Union

As I write this blog, sorry for the delay in writing lately, many things have been on my mind but today, I want to talk about the state of the union. The union is the United States and our place in the world. America the beautiful, has been caught up in the gluttony of greed, pride, many sins of the flesh and eye. I have been one of those people caught up in this desire to try find things to fill a void in my life. Many of us Americans have been chasing things that once we find it or do it or achieve it, something is still missing. We have tried to achieve material wealth, financial security, personal pleasure and many are still void of satisfaction. In the current political race for President, we find ourselves searching for that leader that will make us the beautiful country that was so admired by many in years past. Currently we have foreign leaders on our homeland stating we are no longer a player in the financial world, we are no longer the military force to fear in the world. Whether or not this is true, I believe we are still the greatest nation in the world but perception is reality. ( We need a marketing makeover )We are perceived in the world as becoming weaker and losing our luster. God help us, find the place to be united once again. In war you want to divide, separate and then conquer your enemy. We can see the change in people's thoughts and processes as we are starting to separate and divide from within our own borders.

My heart breaks at the position we find ourselves in as a country and pray that we can reach a solution. Everything has a life cycle, God created it that way. I pray that we are not seeing the shift in power leaving the United States because we have left the principles God founded this country on, our founding Fathers were very wise men, they left England to have the freedom to worship God without being forced to join the state Church of England. The United States know has become the melting pot for religious freedom to the point that Christianity and the history of our blessings as been watered down to the point of being irrelevant in many people's life.

I would encourage you to find out the truth to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, which is stated in our constitution. We have left our first love and we are now in an very delicate position in history.

So, we are still very blessed compared to other nations in the world but we have moved along way from what America was created to be and do in this world. We need not panic but come back to our first love, the love of God, who created us to worship Him and connect with the Savior that died for us and rose again - Jesus Christ. Put your hope, trust and future in the one who controls all things. I have and feel very strong that everything will be OK.

Who are you going to put your trust in - the Father, Son and Holy Spirit or the government that passes out our hard earned tax dollars like it is candy at a parade.

I trust the one that established government.
