change comes

America when did your spirit break? When did your pride leave you? Where is the America that led the world from the dark days of world wars? Where are those brave men of character like those that founded this great country? Have we won our last battle? Are we prepared to bow our heads and stand in defeat while our victors rejoice over our humiliation?

America stands in the shadow of its former greatness and the world looks and wonders how a country once so great and powerful could have fallen so low. People stands in wonder at a nation which led the world in so many areas and which had been the source of help for so many countries around the world. America has been a nation of such strength that around the world other countries showed quiet humility fearing retribution should they dare confront such power. No longer does that humility exist and countries regularly thumb their nose at America when we stand up against tyranny around the world.

I cannot put an exact date down as to when our country started on this downward spiral but I can say with certainty, one of the most important reasons for our demise lies in the failure of America to follow the instruction manual (Bible) he sent to us, and for America to give thanks for the bountiful blessings which have been laid upon this nation since the very founding of this land. There was a time when people were proud to display their allegiance to God and country and the people stood strong in faith and give thanks for those bountiful blessings from God. The number of those with such faith was great, and their pride in this country was just as strong and the world felt our strength and knew our faith was the source of our greatness. Then somewhere along the line we became complacent and took all these gifts for granted and began to believe we earned or deserved them. Thats when the changes began.
