It’s found in America

America: Where I was born, attended church, worked in the cotton fields, graduated high school, served in the military, married, and, with my wife by my side, raised four children. I love this land and have called it home for 79 years.

Of late I have been disturbed by the actions of some. I have heard it said, “If you are not a part of the solution, you are a part of the problem.” We have lived under a two-party system for over 200 years and it has worked. Why? Because of the grace of God.

I like what the song states in this line, “America, America! God shed his grace on thee. And crown thy good with brotherhood, from sea to shining sea.” Where is that brotherhood? America, love it or leave it.

The apostle Paul wrote, “I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; for kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.” Are we doing that, or are we spending our time whining and complaining about what is going on?

Let’s give President Trump the same privilege we’ve given past presidents to do the job, and we just might be surprised. FREDDY BOEN Fordyce
