Do you remember?

Hope for change is one of the things that helped put Obama in office. Change is not always good though. Change is sometimes really just saying "anything goes." We are raising a generation that won't remember a lot of things are are slowly going away due to the changes we have seen in America. Some of the things that my generation remember will be as archaic as the older generation talking of washing clothes without actually putting them in a washing machine or telling of the days with no television. I can't even imagine that, although I do remember just having a black and white TV. Now, with technology, I can watch TV on my phone just about anywhere. I remember when we said prayer in school before we went to lunch. Public school. I remember when the flag stood for freedom and was considered sacred. I remember when a boy dressed like a boy and a girl dressed like a girl. I remember when marriage was just between a man and a woman. For life. I remember when you could take your family to a sporting event and you didn't have to mortgage the house to be able to afford it. I remember people didn't use foul language in front of ladies or children. I remember when someones's word was as sure as a written contract. I remember when Sundays were for church and not just another Saturday.
I remember when people wanted to work to get things instead of someone just handing it to them. I remember when getting pregnant out of wedlock was an embarrassment to the family. I remember when criminals actually were sent to jail. I remember when you could let your children wander all over the neighborhood and not worry even though you hadn't laid eyes on them all day. I remember when you didn't have to monitor what was on TV for your kids to watch. I remember when kids actually got a paddling at school for wrongdoing - knowing that the one you get at home for the one you got at school was going to be much worse! I remember when the parents ruled the house instead of the kids. I remember when people were held accountable for their actions.

It makes me worried about the next generation to come. What changes will they see? Marriage between a man/woman and a ___________? Fill in the blank with whatever. Sounds ludicrous, but just remember that 50 years ago the idea of same sex marriages would have been just as ludicrous.

It is time for Christians to wake up !!! Take back America. I believe God has blessed us as a nation because we were founded on Christianity. While I still believe I live in the greatest nation, we are not what we once were. We do need to see some change, but we need to make changes back to the old paths. America, America - God shed his grace on thee.

God Bless America!

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and wil forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

II Chronicles 7:14
