We all have a point where we break, a line in the sand that when crossed,
we react. We have a limit to what we can handle, and then we demand change.
Some 250 years ago men and women began to act on the dream of a new country,
conceived in liberty, we call the US of A. And we prospered. Russia some 100
years ago also had a rebellion, and Joe Stalin boasted “give me the children for
a generation and I will change the world.” And we did, and he has. Two
countries born in rebellion, but both reaching different ends. One based on the
state taking care of all your needs, Communism, the other based on taking care
of yourself and your neighbor. And we have seen how looking back in history how
both have fared, how one based on God has prospered, while the other based on
self and no God has seen God’s grace, but never prospered. Which upsets many,
gets them involved in politics, and end up following a man, rather than the Man
of Jesus Christ. We used to play a mind game, “If I were King for a Day,” and
today may be a good day to vent, to be a king, for the day. If only in a
kingdom of one.
As much as I hate rules, I would set some up immediately. First rule is
obey all rules. Simple enough, worked in Mayberry. Second would be enforcement
of all laws. All citizens would be required to carry a handgun, and would have
to obtain a permit after rigorous examination to not carry one. Anyone caught
driving while texting or on a cell phone would be mandatory loss of license, for
one year. Second time, life in prison. Death if involved in an accident. All
helmet laws would be abandoned, but those of us who choose to wear one would get
a huge insurance break. Drivers and riders would have to pass a rigorous test
to show they can drive, not just point and steer. Speed limits would be based
on a graduated driver’s license, much like in racing. If you want to drive
fast, you should be able to prove it.
English will go back to being our language. NO bilingual signs, if you are
here, obey our laws. And find that a generation that has been held hostage by
the bilingual atrocities, now can get out of the gutter by just learning
English. Look how many fail because they don’t know the language. We have been
deceived long enough. Schools would require Bible teaching, a time of prayer,
and arithmetic, gym, language arts, and science. No special Latino, black, or
other minority classes. We are all Americans, enough division in the name of
equality. We would protect and enforce our borders. And to become an American
be instructed on how when you lose something, you gain even more when you become
one. You don’t bring your troubles for us, leave them behind. After all didn’t
you come here for the American dream, or to perpetuate your nightmare?
Governments-from local to federal would be required to stay within their
budgets. If not, all responsible from the top down, face jail for 8 years. No
more than one term for each elected official, and Congress and the President
would be on a no salary, no benefit wage. Armed forces would have their
salaries doubled, and held accountable-by the enlisted man, instead of the
generals. Put some brass in the firing line and see how fast things
change.
We would cheerfully want to find out about any government problems, and
remember first and foremost we are Americans, rather than conservative and
liberal. Whoever divided us by saying unity in diversity lied. Vote by your
convictions, not what is good for you. Be willing to sacrifice for the common
good, not turn for more welfare. We will be required to be responsible for our
own actions, and all ill gotten gains will be taken away, and spread among the
poor. All honest riches would be taxed evenly, with the emphasis on not over
taxing the rich, but incentives given to want to be one. Rewards would be given
for productivity, and life can be pointed back to a Jimmy Stewart movie setting,
where we all are neighbors, and our brother’s keepers. Manners would be taught,
and used, because we want to. The proper answer to thank you is you’re
welcome. Not no problem. No slow cars in the fast lane, police will ticket
anyone impeding the flow of traffic. BTW, it is the law now.
Church once again will be a place of worship, and open 7 days a week.
Freedom OF religion, not from it. Jesus will be welcome in schools, look what
has happened since God has been removed. Sundays would be days off, to rest.
Go riding, or to visit. Nativity scenes would flourish at Christmas time.
Christmas and Easter breaks will no longer be called spring and winter breaks.
They are what they are for a reason. Men would treat women like ladies, and
they would respond like one. And my list would go on and on. We would become a
nation again of respect, of ourselves and each other. Laziness would be a
felony...a lot of laws for one who doesn’t like laws, huh?
But it can be stated simply enough, as Jesus did. Love the Lord with all
your heart, and love your neighbor as yourself. Imagine that one being
enforced. And someday it will be, in heaven. No laws, only love. No
divisions, they will be left behind. No cops, helmet laws, plea bargains, or
taxes. It will all be paid in full. And heaven doesn’t have to begin when you
die, but it starts when you let Jesus into your life. You get all the things of
heaven here, ON EARTH, AS IT IS IN HEAVEN! So why don’t we follow Jesus now,
and avoid the rush? Let the blessings fall where they may,and look out, the
skies will be full of them. Take some time today and start the process. Let
someone cut in front of you. Hang up your phone. Smile at someone while
opening the door for them. Give a motorcycle some extra room. Go shooting.
Welcome the stranger, show them the love of Christ, without words. Make them
welcome by showing love. One simple law can replace all the man made ones.
Remember, the more laws, the more chance to break one. So make love your only
law, and practice it now. Don’t wait for some one else, start a new trend.
Demand the truth, it will set you free. His name is Jesus. Make your first
rule to obey His first rule, His only rule. If it works in Mayberry,
SHAZZAM!
love with compassion,
Mike
