Be Vigilant

Today’s going to be a particularly busy day for me, so this post isn’t going to be anything great. But I did want to share something with you that gave me quite a shock. There were three news stories yesterday that made my jaw and heart drop. You probably heard about them.

Vet's Patriotic Stickers Under Fire

Mansfield Flag Controversy Draws Worldwide Outrage

Couple: County Trying To Stop Home Bible Studies

Yesterday Glenn Beck did an expose on ACORN that sounded a lot like a conspiracy theory. He argued that there was a possibility some left-wing organizations are trying to overwhelm the government to the point that it will topple and socialism would rise from the ashes. I will embed the clip for your amusement. I asked my husband if he thought it was possible that there could be some enormous plan like that, or whether they were just taking a step by step approach to implementing socialist ideals. He answered that it didn’t matter. He’s right. And when I read the articles above, I realized that we are farther that direction than I had thought before. Little by little freedom is being restricted in favor of a “common good.” My friends, the greatest good comes from the greatest freedom. Speak up! Be vigilant! I desperately want my children to know the America that I love.

I have been feeling like we are letting our freedoms slip away little by little. It is like Satan, he starts out with a whisper and before you know it he has control. I really wish I knew what more I could do about all of this disturbing movement. Maybe I will have to get permission to have my family, 6 kids, spouses, and 18 grandchildren. We have prayers when we meet. What a bunch of hooey.
