Most of the things that I might write on this site will be spiritual in nature. Some times it might even be a prayer that I just want to post just speaking to my Lord as I type the words.
Although I try my best to leave the (I) out of all that I write I am using (I) as I write this. I believe that when too many I's get in the way then too many mindsets make things confusing. I'm a simple man and realize that there are many people that have far better ways of saying things than I do, are far better educated than I am and can say far more profound things than I can. I am however, an American and desire to see this country just as sound as it was, on days gone by. A country where my children and grandchildren can enjoy the freedoms I remember as a boy.
I believe that the closer we get as people to being on the same mindset with God the Father, one Spirit, one faith, all following the same guide lines as we rebuild a nation the better. There are no great and small at the foot of the cross. We are all on equal ground.
I heard one time that if we all are willing to become zero's and admit that God is 0ne. The it becomes simple mathematics. You see if you put the zero's first, then one gets smaller and smaller each time you add a zero. For instance, (.0000000000001 but if always remember to put the one first then the zero's just keep making the one bigger and bigger. For instance, ( 1,ooo,ooo,ooo,ooo
I know my I have opinions just like everyone else, but the secret of unity is not in our opinions but in our ability to find an answer to our problems that work for all's best interest.
I understand that the day before D-day Dwight D. Eisenhower stood before his Generals and laid out the pro's and con's of following through with the plan the next day. He ask each one of them their opinion about way course to take. The decision was split to some degree about which course to take. After listen to each opinion General Eisenhower ponder for a while , walking back and forth in front of the rest of the men and then stopped before them and said {we are going}. When that decision was made, every man stood up and applauded, all being on the same page.
Each one of these men had the nation's best interest in mind, I will say, that my desire is, in my simple mind is to always make wise decisions in my life and for this country because I do have very great passion about things but I also realize that at some point real tough choices have to be made
What I'm looking for Is not for someone to always be right in their choices but rather someone that is at least seeking to make wise decisions and leaders that put the best interest of this country before their own group of people even.
I hear a lot about polling today. I suppose that's a usable to for our country. I really can't say that it is for lack of the knowledge of how it's carried out. I will say this, leadership is not pleasing the masses or being popular with even the people that voted you in office. Leadership is doing what needs to be done even if it cost you everything, even your life.
We live in a republic, in that republic I vote for a man or woman that will speak and make wise decisions for my country even if I don't agree with that choice or the outcome.
I'm not educated, my boss told me many years ago that I could buy an education but I would never be able to buy experience. He's right, we are led by people that have been educated to the max but if you don't have simple experience to us the knowledge you have what good is it as far as leadership.
