There is something dreadfully wrong with our nation. It is not just at the top. It is not just the Oval Office and
Congress. It is not just a matter of
left verses right. It is not simply a
clash of classes, rich verses poor, haves and have not’s. Likewise, it is not a matter of whites verses
blacks, nor is it a matter of believers verses non-believers. This “sickness” that has infected our nation,
our culture, runs through the heartland of America, from Washington to Washington,
through the corporate office and government bureaucracy, and into the single
most important unit in our society, the family.
I fear that as a whole, we as a nation have lost our moral compass.
No amount of legislation and imposed regulation will fix
it. Only a turn to moral values can
repair the hole that has ripped into the fabric of our great nation. It truly is time for us to value honesty,
integrity, doing the right things for the right reasons. It is time to shed the shackles of moral
relativism and to embrace consistency in honor.
For many it is a matter remaining steadfast and immovable in keeping the
commandments of God. For others it is a
matter of remaining steadfast and immovable in abounding in goodness; doing
good for the sake of good and not for the sake of glory and recognition.
I believe it is time to reset the clock, to find the lost
compass, and realign ourselves with that compass. It is time for a revolution, not with guns
and explosives, but a revolution that is filled with faith, hope, and charity
toward all.
I believe the time has come and I believe that the right
person will step forward at the right time to lead the way. In the meantime I commit to doing my
best. I am sure that I will fail on
occasion, but I am going to try. Will
you join me?
