Congress closes their doors today and head out of Washington. That's if all goes well they will leave and hopefully for the time they are out of Washington our country can begin healing itself from the damage done by the Democrat party since the beginning of this session. Of course that healing won't be complete because the damage was too deep and will take lots of determination to correct. This struggle will have to come from old and new members alike who believe in the greatness of this country before all the problems will be made right.. In the end a new body of elected citizens will have to diligently commit themselves to hard work and persuasion of the public if those damages are to be fully healed. But, it can be done. Time will be needed but given time and the right people elected to office, then the needed changes can and will be implemented.

Spending is out of hand, immigration has become the issue that will only worsen until action is taken to close the borders to all illegal immigration into this country. If that problem is not handled and done soon it may well create monumental problems along our Southern border. Along with the wars and terror problems throughout the world our commitment to those problems will need to be reinforced. So although congress will be leaving Washington the residue left by them will remain. Lets hope during the time away from the seat of Government members will listen to their constituents this time and come back with an entirely different attitude. Bring bakc an attitude that will be servant to the citizens and not the other way around. So to those leaving Washington and headed back to face the music in their districts, "School's Out! Be Gone! Bon Voyage.!

Happy Birthday America

Image via Wikipedia

Well some 234 years ago on July 4, 1776 some very special individuals decided they would declare independence from the home country of Britain and on that day the birth of America took place. Many years have passed and some outstanding birthdays have since taken place and with them many important people have come to the forefront in the molding of this great country.

No one knows how many birthdays are left for America to celebrate. The lifetime of this country could be somewhat shortened because, the "horn of plenty", which this country is known for, has been drawn down considerably by constant overuse and in some cases abuse. The ways some people have turned to the government to be a nanny-state is bringing America a little closer to the breaking point. Too many people have taken to look on America as their personal checking and overdraft protector, rather than a debit card with a set amount which on occasion must be replenished.

There is a need for people to be part of the country through personal involvement by participating in the government in many ways such as working, volunteering, and voting. When people take these actions they add up, and in so doing it makes them Americans and it makes this country more resemble that which our founders envisioned. We must not however, allow government to run every aspect of our lives. When government begins making those decisions we normally set aside for ourselves then the American dream of freedom begins to devolve into the type of country Americas' Founders left more than those 234 years ago. There is a place for the government but it is not in each and every nook and cranny and movement of our lives to the point where government ends up directing each and every step we take, on this journey we call America.

I mentioned important people which come to the forefront of our history and help us through or up and  over difficult obstacles. We are in times such as those now and it require that type of patriotic people to step forward again, people like you, your Father, Mother, brother, sister, or your neighbors, need to come forward to give what they can to make sure this country continues down the path of freedom and righteousness, so that once again we may be the recipient of Gods Blessings.

Happy Birthday America,  I truly hope there are many, many more.
