...This is what the LORD says: Do not be afraid! Don't be discouraged by this mighty army, for the battle is not yours, but God's. (2 Chronicles 20:15 NLT)
The founders of this nation knew the value of freedom. They wrote about securing the blessings of liberty in the preamble of the Constitution of the United Stated of America.
America will not prosper unless it fights to welcome people who want to share in our blessings. We will find ourselves weak and cowering in a corner if this nation allows violent marauders, who indeed want to destroy the USA, make us forget that the Almighty God will shield us from all of our enemies.
Faith allows each one of us to walk, fearlessly, in power and dominion.
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? (Romans 8:31)

Choose your Path Wisely
For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.
~Nelson Mandela
My path is to be an active part of creating a nation, then a world, where every child is lavished with a love that embraces diversity and rejoices in what makes each and every one of them wonderfully unique. No American is free until every American is free just to be.
The United States of America is not the leader of the free world until this nation can show others how to walk in three simple truths. Every person has inherent value. Any life is worth protecting. All we need is love.
We Americans can start "small" by influencing our families, our co-workers, and our communities until multiplying acts of love change the world.
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.

One Big Leap for...
If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9)
Your must know Jesus is God incarnate and believe God miraculously raised him from the dead in order to embrace the divinely-inspired wisdom found in the Bible. This leap of faith will allow you to find eternal liberty, emboldening you to become an active participant in making America the land of the truly free by spreading the good news of His grace.
May America be blessed with such greatness.

Lack Nothing
The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing. (Psalm 23:1)
The Lord could be the king that guides our leaders to help us walk a path of integrity so that our children can have a bright future. We truly would lack nothing if we could leave them a legacy of peace, justice, prosperity, health, wisdom, and joy. We will not be spared difficulty or bad times. The Lord still requires us to meditate on his Word day and night. It is the only way He can shepherd us toward victory. We can see America shining from sea to sea.

Invest in the Future
The LORD will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the LORD your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom. (Deuteronomy 28:13)
"The most important one,” answered Jesus, "is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.” (Mark 12:29-31)
We are flawed humans, never really giving EVERYTHING. Still, we can start with acknowledging there is only one God. The next step is to pour our energy into making sure every action, thought, dream, and ambition is about helping anyone and everyone we meet. That is how one cares for neighbors. His grace allows these imperfect acts of kindness to be counted as perfect love.
As we reflect His goodness, we become the head. A good leader starts with his family and expands this influence until she can show the world the path to greatness. Americans and America will be at the top, not to lord over everyone, but to be an example of obtaining excellence through service to The Lord.
A wise woman or man will leave an inheritance for future generations. We can leave our children's children a nation that is strong, fruitful, and full of honorable citizens who are proud to be Americans.

No More Terror
Deliver me from my enemies, O God; be my fortress against those who are attacking me. (Psalm 59:1)
America is without question in the crosshairs of terrorist groups. The threat may come from within or outside our borders. The perpetrator of such sickening violence does not have be a nefarious agent who comes to our country wreak havoc. People born right here in the USA have fallen under the influence of malignant propaganda from hate groups.
Our government and law enforcement agencies work hard, behind the scenes without enough praise, to protect us from the ever-present threat. We still are not safe; an attack could occur anywhere including a house of worship, a peace rally, the workplace, a dance club, an airplane, or the Pentagon. It is not unreasonable to be anxious and afraid. Terrorists are planning even more brazen and painful assaults at this moment.
Call out to God for help. He produces results in a heavenly realm beyond our human understanding or capabilities. Our enemies may land some blows but America will be delivered from any serious harm. Foes will launch relentless attacks only to see our God absorb the fury. While the reign of terror burns itself out, it will not rain upon those residing inside this awesome fortress. Americans can feel safe and find rest despite the storms brewing around us. (I pray every single person have this peace because the entire world is under siege.)
Let fear be the first enemy to fall. How could we be afraid when God promises to deliver us? This leap of faith will allow us to embrace our Muslim neighbors, friends, and soldiers who fight on the front lines against terrorism. We will vet new Muslim immigrants thoroughly, without ever being inhumane. Better yet, each one of us could avoid any hate group which preys upon our greatest fears.

In God We Trust: Right Action
Many devout Americans entreated the Secretary of the Treasury
to put “In God We Trust” on coins during the Civil War. They knew what needed to be done.
"This is what the LORD Almighty said:
'Administer true justice; show mercy and compassion to one another. (Zechariah 7:9)
