Out of a world of confusion, mistrust in others, and a loss from God, what's next?

Out of a world of confusion, mistrust in others, and a loss from God what’s left?

There are so many negative attitudes from people who have no goals, ambitions, or desire to be one with the many, that all we can see on the crest of life is troublesome.  The theme of positive thinking has become a blank expression to those who no longer know God or even worse those who have pushed him aside.  

As the influx of foreign immigrants has flooded our nation, it makes me think about my own heritage.  My maternal grandparents came from Italy; grandfather from Calabria and grandmother from Naples.  My grandfather along with his cousin both learned the American language, started their careers as apprentice tailors, and eventually opened their own businesses.  They both, as many other immigrants, came into the United States legally, became Americans because we had so many opportunities to offer in a growing nation of the free and the brave.     

What has happened in a country where young people could follow in the footsteps of their parents and so many industrious citizens to get ahead in a variety of ways, becoming adventurous and goal seeking striving for a life with meaning?  Most of us, regardless of age, have somewhere in their past immigrants from nations outside our borders.  Early on most newcomers to America  stayed pretty much in their own nationalities, but eventually that has passed as a growing experience.  My mother told me her father was against any of the girls marrying outside of their nationality.  All five girls married non-Italian men.  They had their own ideas of what marriage and becoming American could mean as they became part of a “Whole” nation as One.

I for one am in favor of our nation continuing to grow with all nationalities, religions, and hopes for their individual dreams as one nation.  But, we must all be conscious of each other and the rights of all retaining our freedoms that are implanted in our Constitution, and bought with the blood of countless souls securing those rights.  This has no longer become that freedom and there are too many of “the powers that be” who have allowed our freedoms to become their battle cry. 

Our education system now controlled by leaders who have their own agenda are destroying the goals of higher education and promoting anti-freedoms that will create a nation of Marxism.  It isn’t a future thought that may create a different climate in education; it is already here.  You may ask “what does that have to do with the corruption of immigrants entering our country illegally?  Many of them have been identified as rapists, murderers, criminals their own countries do not want, and they are adversely infiltrating our system of rights which begins with our total educational system.  

For a nation, like America, to continue with the very freedoms we have had for over 200 years, the powers that be in Washington must be thrown out and replaced with patriots that have one goal in mind; One nation under God with Liberty and Justice for all.  

Bring God back in our worship, adherence to his grace, and the fight of every believing American to keep the Bible, the Ten Commandments, and the Truth who is Christ alive and in the minds of our children who may become anti-Christ watching us go down in the degradation of humanity looking out from a glass enclosure with no way out.  Fight for Christ in our hearts and minds.
