Consistent Countries
October 29, 2018
Countries on every continent are quaking. Unrest in Syria, Gaza, Ukraine, and countless others propagate a sense of unrest. Few countries are consistent. Our United States is one, Israel is another. Yes, we find ourselves at war and our political processes are messy. Yet over time we are consistent. There is continuity as leaders change, growth. And people are respected. Why? Because as a country, we have a sense of purpose. Israel does as well. I recently stood in the National Archives viewing original documents that described our beginnings. God, men and women CREATED, equal, with important rights: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. These foundational truths give a sense of purpose to every aspect of life: our economy, our freedom of religion, our respect for each other and life itself.
