Happy Birthday, General Washington

289 years ago, on February 22nd, 1731, George Washington came into our world. He would go on to do amazing things, things which it is not my intent to spend another 50000 words re-telling. What I wanted to do instead was invite you and invite everybody to celebrate his life and legacy, and take the time to get to know him a little better on a more personal level. This can be done.

There are two fantastic free/opensource biographies here and here to help facilitate this, and it is a great reminder of who we as Americans truely are. Sure, you could read the text of these, that's also freely downloadable online. But there is a distinct power in a human voice as it is heard, a power to which only the audiobook can provide when it comes to a work such as this.

As fitting for today as it was in 1789:

“Almighty God, we make our earnest prayer that thou wilt keep the United States in thy holy protection; that thou wilt incline the hearts of the citizens to cultivate a spirit of brotherly affection and love for one another and for their fellow citizens of the United States at large and finally that thou wilt most graciously be pleased to dispose us all to do justice, to love mercy and to demean themselves with that charity, humility, and pacific temper of mind which were the characteristics of the Divine Author of our blessed religion, and without a humble imitation of whose example in these things we can never hope to be a happy nation. Grant our supplication, we beseech thee, through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

—George Washington

on February 22nd, 1731, George Washington came into our world

NO! He was born on February 22, 1732.

But he thought he was born on February 11, 1731. The calendar was switched from Julian to Gregorian in 1752, which accounts for the 11 day difference. The New Year date was switched to January 1 from March 1 or March 25 and maybe other old new year dates, which accounts the difference in his birth year.

George Washington??? Errr, who was he?? Oh, right, the Christian, first president, fighting the British and KICKING THEIR @$$e$ IN THE WAR FOR OUR FREEDOM AND INDEPENDENCE from a dictatorial king!! Kinda what we are fighting now, huh?? Man, do we need a massive bunch of Washington's, Adams', Jefferson's, Madison's, Lincoln's, Reagan's, Trump's, Teddy Roosevelt's, Minutemen of New England, the brave and proud men who stormed the beaches of Normandy, and all the Marines and Army who stormed all the islands in the Pacific. The proud men and women who fought in Korea, Vietnam, and all around the Middle East. In the air, on the high seas, on the ground, our nation is filled with the graves of wonderful men and women who fought to give this nation freedom from the scum of the world. Now, in ONE election, a cheating bunch of Marxist's scum and their henchmen of the political left and one world government types.

America would have those freedoms again, IF, IF they would get off their high horse and get on their knees and pray to the GOD of Heaven to heal this land. The Bible clearly tells us that IF we did that, HE would hear from Heaven and heal this land. But now He is withdrawing our hedge of protection and allowing the very evil that we have embraced to fall upon our heads. I know that there are a major bunch of those who are conservatives, that post here each day, are not Believers in Jesus Christ. However, I EMPLORE each of you who are not, before it is too late, for you to come to Him and seek His face so that you may be saved before it is to late. The Holy Scriptures clearly tell us we are in the very last days of the Age of Grace, the Church Age. You have time. You need to seek Him out. Folks, this is REAL. This ain't a bunch of Jewish fireside chats. THIS is real.

The unbelieving leftist all say this, however the Dead Sea Scrolls prove them wrong. Those clearly showed us that the Bible is true. The left is going to destroy America. There is NO America in the Bible in the End Times or even before. No big leading nation from this part of the world. BUT, Iran, Israel, China, Syria, the Arab nations, Turkey are all there. The end is clearly in sight. Matthew 24, Luke 21, Daniel 11, all tell us what is coming. Do yourself and your family a massive favor, please. Get right with GOD if you are not a believer. That is what you and America need. THAT is what GOD requires!!! FAITH. Faith in GOD.
