I have been reading a book on the life of George Washington by Anna C. Reed. It was originally published by ASSU press in 1842 and in order to maintain the historical nature of the writing, British spelling and formatting of the text has been kept as they were in the original writing. It's only 295 pages and is a pretty easy read. I recommend it to anyone who wants to get "in the trenches" with George Washington and those brave patriots who sacrificed everything for the cause of Freedom. As I sit here in my comfortable chair, in my beautiful home located in the United States of America and read about the incredible hardships these men went through I feel convicted about how much we have (due to their efforts) and how many of us are too lazy to take a stand against the same things they gave their lives for. The following was written over 150 years ago and sums up what we are facing today..."the worst of human nature".
The desire to possess power, and the ill use of it when possessed, have caused much misery in nations, societies, and families; and even children show the evil effects in overbearing conduct to each other, and in delighting to crush the feeble worm which crawls at their feet. But if that love which fulfils the law of God were in every heart, the precept of our divine Redeemer, "All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them," would be the rule of all actions; then families, societies, and nations, would be ever peaceful.
George Washington is long gone, so now it is up to us to join the fight and take our country back from those in Washington that ignore the Constitution and seek to destroy what so many gave their lives for. We need men/women in Washington that place America first....."where are today's George Washington's"?

America The Great Experiment
Our Founding Fathers termed America as the "Great Experiment". This is because it was the first time in history that citizens of a nation would be completely free. They would be free to worship the way they wanted, free from taxation without representation and free to use their God given talents to prosper without excessive Government control. But this freedom didn't come without paying a very high price. A ragtag army of farmers, store keepers, teachers and ordinary citizens took up arms to fight against the most powerful nation on earth... for the cause of freedom. They fought from 1776 until 1782 under incredible hardship for the right to be called free men. The American people need to stand up and join the fight that our ancestors started 234 years ago. The Government that was established to serve the people is now completely out of control and this must stop. Richard and I only have two voices but we pray that this Blog will help influence (in some small way) our readers to get involved and take Washington back from politicians and give it back to the people. God was with our Founding Fathers and he is still with us today but we must follow the road map he gave us; his word.
He sums it up in 2nd Chronicles 7:14 -
"If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways than will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land".
God Bless America

A Threat to our 2nd Ammendment Rights video
Click on this (link) to see a video on the danger of the United Nations. America is being attacked from every direction and must get back on a firm foundation. We have trusted the 545 individuals in Washington to make decisions that were best for America and they haven't. They are the ones that made the decisions that are responsible for where our country is today. We cannot let our guard down or get discouraged because the main stream media call us ignorant or crazy. They think that if they continue their "spin" we will get tired and go away. Let's stay the course and insist that Washington stop building "our house on sand" and get it back on a solid footing.
God Bless America
