Our countries confusion
October 6, 2017
Reading the news, we ponder and even argue what our country is becoming. One does not have to look back many decades to see great shifts. Few countries are consistent. Our United States is one, Israel another. Yes, we find ourselves in conflict. Our political processes are messy. Yet over time we’re consistent. There is continuity as leaders change, growth. People are respected. Why? Because we have a sense of purpose. Israel does as well.
I 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, freedom of religion, respect for each other and life itself.
