He sleeps and dreams of a brighter tomorrow. We secure peace by preparing for war. We never flight the war we prepare for.
Thanks to our creator, the American soldier who were the men and women of all colors, were the ones who heard the call to duty and were not afraid to answer. Looking back at history of the men and women who at one point was not old enough to serve in the military, falsified their age in order to serve this community. They went far beyond patriotism. They stepped up to what many Americans ran away from.
Citizens of America would do well to remember that we all are in one nation. Nowaday Americans seem to become more enemies toward each other rather than friends. Many Americans continue to do a discredit to the American soldier. America continues to loose her spiritual soul. Americans rather look at who is right instead of what is right. Are Americans turning into a counterfit Christian? We are wearing a cross around our necks with no Christ in our hearts. I pray that we never forget that freedom is not free, for there is a price to be paid.
Just as Jesus Christ died for our sins, we too must die for our freedom. The American soldiers are the ones who have left their homes to go and serve in places they never would have gone to before without the comfort of knowing if they would return alive. Lights out, the sound strife is now still and the soldier can talk to God without interruption. Perhaps there will come a tomorrow for those weary souls that dawn of peace which they all pray, but now the silence lights out.
To Eastman and Dodge County, if you are going to have and keep a strong community, you have to get back to investing in your children. You cannot afford to continue to allow children to make the wrong choice if you expect the right results. I am making reference to getting back to discipline and holding children accountable for their actions. Discipline is not the enemy of enthusiasm. Thank you and Lord bless.
