America

  I have called to her, but she will not come, and I have reasoned with her, but she will not listen. My anger rising, I say to her, Come here to me, come back home! No, she snaps, I will no longer listen! I have had fury bring me to tatters, I have been ripped and shredded by bombs and wars, but I still flutter above this land, and I still wave the captives home!
  Come back to me I say, I want you as you once were! As I once was, she said. As I still am! I have waved over you from the beginnings, and I am soaked through with the blood of my patriots! But now you treat me as a whore, you hide your reverence away from my eyes. What has happened she crys, what has happened to my people? Why do you plot against each other, who is it that has divided you like this? You must separate those who spin lies about me, from those who still look to honor me!
  You have forgotten who you are, you think that who you once were, should not be today? It is you who have lost your way, I have been with you from the beginnings, and I will be here until the end!
Root out the purveyors of evil from among you, and cast out all liars!
  Do this, remember who you are, and I will once more wave proudly over this great nation, just as I always have! God bless America.

All is in order

  Some people say that everything has a purpose, while others lump it all to chance, and then because of this, dismiss it out of hand? Just a coincidence they say, a strange set of events that just happened to fall together? Strangely or not, both points of view are correct, but for two different types of happenings. One, when coincidence is at play, this is a matter of little consequence, just the day to day things, that spin out of life together, and may never occur at the same time ever again? Now, though coincidence has its place, it is not in play, when the event is traumatic, and of major consequence! Moments like these are never coincidence, but happen most definitely, for a reason! The minor day to day occurrences of life, are often no more then coincidence. But those events which are major, whether they be a horrific storm, or the politics of a once great nation, that now finds itself wallowing in lies and self doubt, these are far more then merely a teachable moment? Events that are catastrophic in nature, whether they be immediate, or inevitable, these are more often then not, warnings! These have a purpose, born from reason, and to miss what the warnings say, is to flirt with our doom!
  To take moments of extreme consequence, and to label these as just coincidence, brings no truth to the matter, as to what just occurred, and why? Because when you count everything as just happenstance, with no rhyme or reason, you're counting it just to chance, leaves it all shrouded in doubt, for in happenstance, there is no reason, and without reason, is no order.
  But there is a reason to life, to death, to memories, and to everything that is! The planets and the solar systems may look to be chaotic, but everything has a purpose, and every event a proper time! How do I know this? Because God is the creator of reason, and for him, everything has its proper time, and all is in order!

But God

  I speak to you from a place where far too many of you will never know! Pity? It is a place that you should surely want to go to, for it is a place of many wonders! It is a place of fabled fame, it is a life unto itself! It is a life, forever with God! Oh, it will not be your god, the one you see, but He will be God none the less. How far does your arrogance go, when will you choose to acknowledge him for who he is? When is it, that you will pay tribute?
  The arrogance that you feel, will tell you that there is no need for any change just yet, you have this thing wired pretty good? Besides you say, I'll take care of this god business when I am good and ready?
But what if when you when you finally decide to get serious about God, that he is no longer serious about you? His arms are still open now, just as they have been from the beginning of this thing we call life, but there is a limit! Once that limit is reached, once that last person has said, Yes Lord! At that time, the Book will be closed, and the names that are written in it shall be saved and granted eternal life!  The list of names of those who refuse, will not be written! Once the Book closes, if your name is not in it, your future is also secure, for you will be eternally dead!
