God Routes Us Through Chaos and Loss Before Victory
God doesn’t work the way we do. He rarely uses the obvious route. He promises something big, and the route to receiving it includes losing the very thing He promised you. Things usually get so bleak you’ll want to give up. Everyone will call the promise impossible. I know this from firsthand experience. God promised […]

God Bless America – A Prayer for America
Jesus said to pray for your enemies, bless those that curse you and do good to those who despite-fully use you and persecute you. It’s also important to focus on what we DESIRE and not what we don’t want. As of this morning, I am starting a new practice of praying blessings on anything or […]

Episode #43 – Are Term Limits a Good Idea or Not?
I’ve seen a lot going around suggesting we need an amendment limiting Congress to two terms like the President. When I see this stuff, a warning bell always goes off in my head. My dad taught me that you don’t mess with the Constitution. If you do, you do it as little as possible. The […]

The Fall of the Republic

Music for Our Nation
I was playing around on the piano … not with any particular song in mind when I started to play, “Let Us Oft Speak Kind Words” and as I got about halfway through, it morphed into “God Bless America.” I didn’t intend to put the two together, but they fit perfectly. Once I realized what I’d done, I thought, “How fitting… isn’t this what our country needs right now?”
Let us oft speak kind words to each other
At home or where ‘er we may be;
Like the warblings of birds on the heather,
The tones will be welcome and free.
…
From the mountains
To the prairies
To the oceans
White with foam.
God bless America,
My home sweet home.
Like the sunbeams of morn on the mountains,
the soul they awake to good cheer;
Like the murmur of cool, pleasant fountains,
They fall in sweet cadences near.
…
From the mountains
To the prairies
To the oceans
White with foam.
God bless America,
My home sweet home
