This past Friday I went to the movie theater with some friends. Now understand I think the last time I went to the movies was probably five years ago and before that maybe ten years. Needless to say, we just don't go to the theater much. We seem to wait until they come out on DVD and watch them at home. Anyway, some dear friends asked me to go with them to see this movie and I thought it would be a good time of fellowship. Well, it was all of that and more!! Not only was the movie excellent, but it caused me to give thought to where we have been as a nation and where we are now. I thought about what my life was like growing up in the 50s and 60s. Every morning in school a student got on the speaker system and read a scripture verse and said a prayer. We always pledged allegiance to the flag. We respected ALL adults and would never talk back to one (unless we were ready to get smacked!!). You know I could go on, but I'm sure all of you know where I'm coming from. Now, I look at where we are today - no prayer in school; most children are not given any kind of discipline, because it may damage them in some way. "Children" decide at an early age if they are going to go to church or not. More than we like to admit really don't know much about God, much less Jesus Christ. How did this happen? Sad to say, we have let others bully us into believing we don't have the courage to stand up for our rights and beliefs. You know - "what can one person do?" One+one+one+one, etc can do a lot! But it may take that one person to stand up against the odds. Are you willing to take a stand and take "our" country back? I have included a synopsis of "Last Ounce of Courage". If you get a chance to see it, please do!! It is an awesome movie!
Last Ounce of Courage is the story of a grieving father inspired by his grandson to take a stand for faith and freedom against a tide of apathy and vanishing liberty. Alongside fellow citizens of courage, faith, and integrity, he is a champion for the cherished principles we the people hold dear. A tale of family bonds and free expression, the film seeks to encourage all Americans to take a stand and raise their voices in support of their beliefs.
I'm not sure what I can do, but maybe this is a start. I just believe each of us need to take a stand and fight for our rights and beliefs. Give it some thought! Take care dear friends. See you at the House!!
