The Truth Will Set You Free

In the history of America when there has been hard times and events that seem to move us to the very brink of catastrophe. There has always arisen great men. Men with high moral outlook and virtuous in thought and deed. Men who live a sacrificial life style and have a passion for others. Men who would never think of taking advantage of others or use their power for self gain. Men who inspire the people to great sacrifice, truth and put the common good ahead of them selves. Where are the Washington's, the Adam's, the Henry's, and the Lincoln's? Where are the Godly men?

When the God of men produces and raises Godly men, does he need to have a fertile heart in man to work with first? Does He need to see a pure heart, full of truth, virtue, morality, honor, love and a desire to live peaceably with all men? As we scan the horizon in America, do we see any? Are all the virtuous men keeping their heads down for fear of losing them?

Most great men of the past have one thing in common with each other, they had Godly women at their side, not ahead of them, not behind them, but at their side to help strengthen them. We need to rediscover what it means to be an American and embrace it with all our strength, men and women. We need to rediscover the principles that made us a great God fearing nation and be renewed by them. For we can draw on who we were and become better for it. We need to rediscover each other and get in step with what is right and good. These words from The Declaration of Independence, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor, are more than just words, they are a promise to one another of an ideal that can nurture one another to great and Godly accomplishments. They are the essence of America's strength. Our founding fathers realized that those words of that document were truth, and the truth will set you free.

All is well down on the farm.
