She closed her eyes and imagined for her elders what America was destined to be-

“The Land of the Free”!

John Pavlovitz, wrote an article entitled “No God does not Bless America”, and this is my response:

This article of “wanting to hear ones self talk” makes no sense and is built on the intention of deflection and distraction from the real issues at hand! The song “God Bless America”, which personally I prefer to the national, is a tribute of gratitude for the beauty and magnificence of what God has provided the people of this country with. It is not at any point separating us in terms of an ethnocentric stance from other nations. But we as Americans have much to be grateful for. And in light of living from a place of gratitude we have a grave responsibility for protecting and being good stewards of this land and what it has provided us with! We are so blessed in America that we also have a responsibility to support the welfare and well being of those less fortunate than us within and beyond our borders! As it is asked of us to “Love thy neighbors as you would want them to love you”! This ideology that Trump has used as his mantra “America first” we should embrace it to mean ” Because America has and is so blessed, we have a responsibility to be first in service to mankind”!

We are living in serious times with daily life and death issues! Let’s not use our intellect and creativity on foolishness and idle nonsensical rhetorical conversations! Let’s engage in conversations that open doors to solutions to:

War

Hunger

Disease

Homelessness

Climate control and preservation of our planet.

Education of our children that is based on quality, equality, relevance, critical thinking, adaptive to cultural and individual needs, inclusive, and inspiring so that we regain our intention to be a literate society.

Global human rights

Yes there is so much to talk about!

Yes there is so much to do and “actions speak louder than words”!
