SHE IS LOST!

[tlay]

When I was a kid I can remember walking to school, playing all day in the neighborhood and I knew she would protect me. In school we worshiped her and praised her. When I turned 17 I could not wait to sign up to help her even though I lost my friends. If asked we would do it again.
She has stood up to all those who tried to break her spirit. Lately though I am having a hard time remembering what she looked like. What will happen if we can't find her again?
She is my and your country!! Help me find her.

Please don't turn this into a political rant. I would just like some answers!!!

She is not lost. Only obscured by others to make you think she is lost. Refocus. Believe.

Tom, I've had the same thoughts for awhile. However I have changed my mind and in my opinion ( I don't expect everyone to agree) it's morality that has been forsaken.

The news is filled with some very mis-guided individuals.

Regardless of what they want you to think, there are still more of us than them.

But it does make one consider what the end-game might look like.

I agree completely, and could rant for many pages on that subject alone!

1: Pray.

2: Stay engaged.

Keeping the faith can be hard at times but I refuse to give up.

Parents aren't parents anymore- They're just the people who (both) work to pay for daycare (so they both can work), the Xbox and whatever.
Teachers aren't teachers anymore- For the most part, they're not required to even know the subject- they're only required to spew forth whatever's written in the "textbook"
the MSM does not REPORT the news, they "interperate" it for you
I could go on, but someone with a different view will be along

the times they have changed..........

discipline, respect, morality are scarce commodities..........."special" people are in abundance.....

The population has doubled since the 1950's in the U.S. Therein lies most of the problem.

 

[moosedog]

I agree that there are more of us than them and I still believe that the "good guys" always win. The news media is trying to break us down, don't fall for it. Keep your beliefs.

Sad to say but wars,disease,age used to keep the population in check,does not anymore near the same rate. Now just too many people and the uninformed ones continue to reproduce. I feel for the people 50 years from now growing up.

Over time folks form two opposing camps, sort of WWI trench warfare. Usually an event or series of events cause the divisions to vanish and "we" unite to survive. It's the nature of the coming "event" that has folks worried. Worry is the opposite of faith. Joe

I keep thinking what could I have done differently?

I keep thinking what could I have done differently?

That's a waste of time friend. The real question is, what did you do to contribute?

The answer is, the blue wings displayed next to your name.

We tend to remember the best things in life. So, it can be said that our remembrances are viewed through rose colored glasses. The only constant in life is change.

3: Carry.

4: Look not to this world.

Very well said Amen

I was in Tuscaloosa Al a few weeks ago and had the blessing and yes it was a blessing of meeting a couple of young men who were recruiting for the US Marines .Now I am an old somewhat butthole of a guy but these two young men now they were special you could just see it in tne way they carried themselves .So I struck up a conversation with them .Talk about patriotic ,talk about goal oriented ,talk about squared away in their language their actions these young men made me proud to be an American and I told them I but their parents were darn proud of them and our country sure is also .So no sir as long as we have a few and it only takes a few of these intensely proud dedicated young people she isn't lost but you won't see any of that on the evening news .So thanks to our service men and women but especially those young Marines .Find a few of our young uniformed folks and talk to them you'll see America is still the Land of tne Free and the Home of the Brave and by the grace of God we have young people who fight and die daily to keep her that way .

About 25 years ago I spent several days at a range officer class in Boone, Iowa.

I thought that if anyone ever lost America they could find it there.
