Thoughts on The Constitution of The United States of America...

Just as our forefather's debated over and over again on what should be included in The Constitution, (and in some cases what should not be included), the gentlemen (and women) in Washington today are debating on what should be removed.

There were differences in opinion then and there are differences in opinion now.  But, as stated by James Madison in 1788 in his Federalist Papers, "...(these papers) are intended for those who possess a sincere passion for the happiness of their country, as well as for those capable of discerning the best way to promote this happiness."  And this "pursuit of happiness" was (and should still be today) the base from which The Constitution was finally formed, voted on and ratified.  The happiness of the people was and still is what drives freedom.

As I see it, the third party involved in forming The Constitution was the Lord, and those men present at its formation were men of faith.  That element is missing in today's discussions.  Our leaders (?) in Washington have chosen not to invite the Lord to their discussion.  Hence, there is chaos at the top and it is trickling down to the citizens of this blessed country.  And the happiness of her citizens is at stake.

In my eyes, and it should be in the eyes of every God-fearing American, it is up to us--the American citizens--to begin to repair the chasm that divides us, from the bottom up; then, we must replace the darkness that enshrouds Washington, our once great Capitol, with light and let God back into our discussions.  How are we to accomplish this?  Only God knows.

I'm not a young woman anymore--I wish I was, but I will not stand by and watch my beloved Country and The Constitution that blesses it, be burned to ashes before my eyes.  As long as I am able, I will fight to the end to defend these God given freedoms.  Our forefathers shall not have died in vein.  God's army will rise up and defend every liberty that our forefathers so valiently fought to preserve.

GOD BLESS AMERICA, NOW AND FOREVER!
