"[It is] better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.
"; Psalm 118:8 Do we put too much confidence in our government? Are our elected officials 'out of touch' ? We would do well to remember that we are the Government! We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
"We the people of the United States", of America.
John F.
Kennedy once said: "Ask not what your country can do for you, but ask what can I do for my country".
Have we become 'drunk' with excess and power? It seems our leadership reflects such a notion.
In our drunken stupor maybe we have forgotten that the world requires hard work, productivity and discipline of us.
Complacency will not allow the stars to shine.
Industry, in an industrialized society, is what keeps the wheels of progress turning; not politics and greed.
In a crowded party where everyone is talking and no one really saying any thing, the one who says, "It is terribly late, let's go home and get ready for work", is mostly un- heard.
Is our vote enough for a sober change? The teetotaler at the party should raise his voice from the table top and shout, "let's go home and sober up"! The White Stars 'Titanic' (the greatest ocean liner of the time) made two dreadful mistakes, on that fateful night that she struck an Ice burg.
She was supposedly un-sinkable; It was said that God couldn't sink her.
The Captain was asleep in his chamber.
Where should our confidence be placed, in today's turmoil? When will we wake up from our drunken stupor, and resume navigation at the helm of our own destiny?
