If You Fail, Try Try Again

Failure is not the absence of falling short but the lack of willingness to learn from one's mistakes. 

There has never been a time in our history when this nation found success by devaluing its citizens or abusing its power on the world stage.  The United States of America cannot be the leader of the free world if it has not learned one basic lesson.

Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone.     (Romans 12:18  NLT)

Who would ever though I would advocate seeking out money?  Yes, the love of it paves the path to destruction.  Yet, it is emblazoned with such great and hopeful words:  In God We Trust.  The wisdom of a people who were fighting to set this nation free from the curse of slavery, but were not quite brave enough to ensure there was liberty and justice for all, speaks to us.  Fellow Americans, may we open our eyes and not be felled by a similar stumbling block.  Serving God and walking in love will bring us all peace.
