I sincerely thank you for being you.
I don’t know what it takes to turn our great nation back to its founding.
We are a Cristian Nation.
We can make “Son of God” the most successful movie of the year and we will sit back and wait. We wait again for a leader. We wait again for something that will reach the masses. I watch movies like this and I’m touched, moved to establish a stronger relationship with Christ.
But nobody else cares.
There is an extraordinary amount of indifference in our society that is desperate to get along.
Even among Christians.
It’s fear. Not uncertainty, as a Christian, but fear of what others will think of you.

Climbing up on Solsbury Hill
I could see the city light
Wind was blowing, time stood still
Eagle flew out of the night
He was something to observe
Came in close, I heard a voice
Standing stretching every nerve
Had to listen had no choice
I did not believe the information
I just had to trust imagination
My heart going boom boom boom
“Son,” he said “Grab your things,
I’ve come to take you home.”
To keep in silence I resigned
My friends would think I was a nut
Turning water into wine
Open doors would soon be shut
So I went from day to day
Tho’ my life was in a rut
“Till I thought of what I’d say
Which connection I should cut
I was feeling part of the scenery
I walked right out of the machinery
My heart going boom boom boom
“Hey” he said “Grab your things
I’ve come to take you home.”
(Back home.)
When illusion spin her net
I’m never where I want to be
And liberty she pirouette
When I think that I am free
Watched by empty silhouettes
Who close their eyes but still can see
No one taught them etiquette
I will show another me
Today I don’t need a replacement
I’ll tell them what the smile on my face meant
My heart going boom boom boom
“Hey” I said “You can keep my things,
They’ve come to take me home.”
REMEMBER THIS. It's a SIMPLE concept but not easy to absorb or accept.
Humans haven't changed ONE IOTA since the very beginning of humanity. We are EXACTLY the same, only there are many more of us.
In 1800 the world's population hit one billion, so the historians say. Now we are 6+ billion. So, MUCH more sin, since there are so many more sinners.
We live longer; we are healthier; we are better educated. HOWEVER, we, as the human race, are not ONE IOTA smarter, dumber, nicer, meaner, happier or sadder, better or worse. We are the same.
Abraham Lincoln said: We can change human actions to some extent but we can't change human nature.
We have only to repent, do penance and pray for the grace and strength from God to be better sons and daughters of God...and to be better sisters and brothers to our fellow human beings traveling on the path to Him, our Creator.
