I Find It Sad

You know what I find sad, I find it sad that when I watch a movie like October Sky it makes me cry and want to come back to the old days where a nation is together and watches the sky for the Sputnick orbit. I find it sad that their greatest achievement is going to space and our greatest achievement is passing a healthcare bill that three out of four people didn't want.

The old America is where anyone can be whatever they want to be and the American dream is real. I find it sad that the media no longer speaks the truth about what's going on. I don't know much, but I feel it in my heart that America is in trouble. Simple, so how do we fix it? How do we lose the sick feeling that the government is screwing us over? I don't know very much, and as a matter of fact, I wish I did. I wish I wasn't so naive about my own country. I don't even know the name of Mesa's governor. I know squat nothing, except for the things that apply to me. Well, doesn't this country apply to me? Doesn't it apply to everyone? So shouldn't we know where we came from?

These are the times that try men's souls.

  1. I agree Juliet! It's hard to understand the government when it seems like they aren't doing what they say they will. Who do we trust in times like these? I'm so thankful for the gospel and the truthfulness it brings to my life. Just remember, "Your future is as bright as your faith."
