Be Encouraged!

11/19/12Howdy all! If I may I will apologize up front if anything I say here is difficult to comprehend. I am still coming out of the anesthesia from earlier today, when I had arthroscopic surgery to remove some of the meniscus from my left knee which had been going rogue for some time now. So, if I go into discussions of flights to the moon or if I can’t wait to see the face of our nation when the NEXT millennium arrives, you know what to do.Anywhere, er I mean hoo,..Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them. ~ Ephesians 4:29I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country. ~ Nathan Hale, before being hanged by the British, 1776OK, this quote from Nathan Hale may be one of the few that is still taught in public school. But like most other teachings of our founders, not much else is taught. So, here’s a little about this patriot.He was born in Connecticut in 1755. At the ripe old age of 14 (yes, fourteen) he attended Yale, graduating with honors at 18. He joined a literary fraternity called Linonia, where he debated issues like astronomy, mathematics and the ethics of slavery. He joined the military in 1755. His unit went to Boston, although he did not, since his teaching contract in New London had not yet expired. Twenty? He then joined the 7th Connecticut Regiment, and was with General Washington trying to thwart the British who were moving to capture New York City. Nathan was the only volunteer to go behind lines on Long Island to report on troop movements. But he was captured, after being pointed out by a loyalist cousin. After interrogation he was hanged at the present day corners of 66th and 3rd in Manhattan, where he uttered the famous quote. It’s also reported that one of the hangmen was a former slave turned loyalist, who was 13 (thirteen) at the time of the hanging.“Why all of this history?” you might ask. Simple. We have so much to do, now that we have lost some of the momentum gained 2 years ago. I might add that the momentum was not lost due to the efforts of all the tea party, conservative, freedom loving patriots who have been, and will continue to strive for the restoration of our Constitution, economy and regain the control over the governance granted, that “We the People” have vested in the Congress and President. But, we are not only trying to save this nation for us. Our children, their children, and so on need our help. More importantly, they need us to show them how to do what we are doing. We need to get them involved. It is their future we fight for. But they cannot just stand to the wayside and watch. They must get involved. That’s why there is always so much effort by the left to get them involved. And the left had been successful in convincing the youth that the conservative movement is so restrictive that, they won’t get anything they want from the conservatives. Me, me, me. So we must instead speak of the benefits that await them in the future; what a free nation means to the world, and to them. To be successful we need to look to Ephesians 4:29 for guidance. “Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them.” The future belongs to our children. We must encourage them to get involve, so they can have the future they deserve.Take care, God bless and especially, ESPECIALLY at this time in history,STAND WITH ISRAEL!!!Tom KileyPS: There; I think I got through this alright. Except, why is that horse portrait on the wall coming off to eat my dinner?
