Jesus Loves all the Children
Jesus loves the little children, all the children of the world, red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in his sight. Jesus loves the little children of the world.
Americans blindly, foolishly, arrogantly, talk a lot of scat. We talk as if “we the people” are the world’s last best hope. We still can be if we learn to love. Not only our family and friends, that comes naturally, but love the alien and stranger as well.
If we don’t get beyond this us verses them mentally of ours, civilization will continue it’s downward spiral. The “debates” missed the mark. Politicians continually fail to acknowledge the spiritual reality of man. Our fallen nature, our self serving desires, our greed.
It somehow seemed fitting that Tom Brokaw moderated the second debate between John McCain and Barack Obama. Mr. Brokaw authored “The Greatest Generation,” a flattering generalization and brilliant marketing ploy to sell books. A generation credited with kicking Hitler’s ass and living on those laurels ever since.
Not only has America failed to meet her high calling – what glorious, exciting possibilities we squandered – but lead by example and encouraged other first world countries to do the same.
Illegal immigration has many people in a lather. I briefly worked in a welding shop alongside some Mexican immigrants. What a pleasure that was, they worked like old school Polack’s (a high compliment). These men just want to feed their families, like you and I do. Should I care more about the welfare of your children than I do about the welfare of theirs?
Highly paid union workers not only hesitant to share the wealth, but unwilling to share the work. Buy American they shout, then gorge themselves on sweatshop/child labor produced trinkets.
Love, not in word, but in deed.
