Does your world seem upside down?

I don’t know about your world, but mine seems to be upside down. The world he knew was one in which people honored the elderly for their contributions to society and families held values ​​that transcended race, gender, or creed. But lately, I don’t see that side of our country or the world and I only see and hear violent, racist and politically correct bombardment in both spoken and written words. What happened to the America that represented more than greed and power? Where is the country that was created by God and lived out his principles? I wonder.

I must admit that I try to protect myself from most of the daily news shows. I look long enough to know what’s going on in the world, but I don’t saturate my mind with biased or misinterpreted comments. Celebrities have lost their credibility and, unfortunately, along with them, most major news organizations can no longer be trusted with honest reporting. It seems that everyone who used to be a trusted source, including politicians, has an agenda that may not be in the best interest of our country, its citizens, or the world. I have trouble adjusting to this disorientation. Where is the compass that you used to look to find out which way you were traveling? As I get older, my eyes and ears fail me at times. Sometimes I feel like I’ve heard and seen things that don’t make sense. Intangible things like respect for people and the values ​​we hold dear seem to disappear. The love of country is being subverted by the love of complacency. Using others to get ahead seems to be the rule rather than the exception. Politicians change positions like the wind through the trees. You cannot tell which way the wind is blowing. Is it wind or hot air?

So what am I going to do with all this? I suppose there are no simple answers to the dizzying array of problems facing our world. As a citizen of this great land, I can only exercise my concerns at the polls or through dialogue with those parties that have control of the mechanisms at risk. Are there enough people with right-thinking minds left to correct this mistake before all is lost? I reflect on these questions to make sense of a world that is sometimes meaningless. I hear signs of discontent with the skills of decision-makers and a longing to return to courtesy and honesty in government. That is good news for me. Those of us who have standards and values ​​must begin to let our voices be heard to save our country from decline. Growth is complicated and change is inevitable, but runaway growth and underground change will only create more chaos in an already chaotic world.

For myself, I will do my part to create a transition into a future of choice, freedom, and the ideals that created this great land. I will follow the direction of my life by following the voice of the Spirit in my life. Hearing this voice gives me a path that cannot be influenced by the preaching of the secular world. My world is a world of goodness, love and recognition of the weaknesses of the human species and the desire to amplify the good in all. Perhaps if enough like-minded people act before it is too late, we will regain our foothold in the qualities and character of those who came before us. It is up to each of us to leave a legacy of loving-kindness given to us by our Creator to create a world that upholds the principles we hold so dear.

Won’t you join me and create a vortex of intentions in this world to make it so?
