The Coming Future

What do we say when you see our country going in what you believe is the wrong direction?  What do we do when we see our president passing laws that limit our freedoms in every direction? More importantly what do you see in our future as a nation?  Some see it as the coming apocalyptic end to the world as we know it, others see a future of change, still others see it as a chance for the people to rise up and take back the country which once was free.  I think one of the important things that we must decide is what is our role in all of this.  What really would be the right thing to do?

                  Recently a Texas Judge by the name of Tom Head was interveiwed on Fox News for his comments regarding this next election. This sums up what he said.

“One of the things is he’s going to try to give the sovereignty of the United States away to the United Nations. What do you think the public is going to do when that happens? We are talking civil unrest, civil disobedience, possibly, possibly civil war.  Now what is going to happen then?  The President will in U.N troops to end the civil disobedience” Lubbock County Judge Tom Head said Tuesday on FOX 34.  He also said.  "Will this kind of thing happen? Probably not”

Now what in the world, that is a total contradiction from what the jude said.  Could it be that the jude or the sherriff is lying about what went on behind closed doors .  I won't even try to tell you what i think is the truth because truthfully i don't know.  And right now I don't need to know.  The important thing is, and what I am saying right now is the fact that the two stories don't line up.  If the sherriff really did say he would back the judge up, and now when confronted by national news he won't admit it?  Now that thought just really does not set well with me or with the rest of you Southern gentlemen and ladies who have the moral set well in our heart that if we say we're going to stand by anothers side, we're going to do it even if it makes us a few enemies on the other side of the fence.  Now was the sherriff really telling the truth about what he said?  Or is he trying to paint his public image in a color that would make him look good?   When I read the story and listened to the interveiws I came back with the picture of the sherriff not wanting to admit that he stood with the judge, who right at this very moment is on the recieving end of some very bad public comments all over the internet, especially in the blogosphere. Now you can say and think whatever you want about what I just said, but that is my personal opinion on the matter, and if you think i'm wrong then feel free to comment.  And I admit, first impressions aren't always correct, and in the future I may change my stance, but right now I am with the Judge.  Even putting all of this aside, and looking at his place of authority as a county judge.  What do we see in so many other judges?  They are getting messed up in scandals of all sorts.  And here we have in the Great State of Texas, one judge, in one county of Texas, threatening that the State of Texas will remove itself from the Union if Obama is reelected.  Why are the Democrats working themselves so hard over what on man says who really is a nobody in polotics?  Could it be that Tom might have a legitimate point here?  Could this country be on the verge of another civil war?  If you think about it, we are really already involved in a cold civil war.

If this country would start a civil war in the near future, or whenever, where would you stand?  Would you publicly stand with someone who you know is right, or would you sit home and do nothing, relying on some false notion that God is going to do everything for you?  I know, and I fully agree that this countries main problem is not with the leadership or with the goverment, but rather it is with 'We the People', and if we want  change for our country then we need to look at our own lives and at the way in which we might have screwed up.  The truth is if Me, and You, and the rest of y'all were doing what we needed to be doing,  Obama would no longer be in office. Take what I just said any way you want too, but that is the plain simple truth. If you're on welfare, and you are very able to work, and you're family is barely surviving, then you need to get your hind end off the couch and go find something that will bring in even a buck or two.  Now, before some of you get all in a huff.  I know there is a lot of you out there who are in a bad situation with work and you're spending every waking second working to keep your family afloat.  I appluad and give you a high five.  And remember success isn't always about how much money you have, but rather it's about how joyful you are in your present situation.  Here is another thought.  You're success is not determined by how well the goverment is spending our money, or what Obama is doing, or is wanting to do.  You're success and my success is determined by what you do, and what i do on a daily basis.  One of the not so main reasons why our country is not going the way it shoud be is because people like you and me are just sitting at home, praying, and saying  what ever happens is God's Will.
