So we have listened to our President's first State of The Union message...and are trying to sort things 
out...
These are some reflections that are bouncing around in my head:
***I always felt, perhaps presumptuously, that our three branch system of government with its checks and balances and free elections would preclude electing undesirables...Now don't misunderstand me, I'm not targeting only the President here...I'm talking about the John Edwards of the world, the Elliot Spitzers, the Nancy Pelosis, the Al Gores (who couldn't even carry his home State of Tennessee), and although they are not mentioned here, several Republicans also...
***In the 21st Century, it is still easy for slick talkers to appeal to the mob...I recall those wise words of Scripture, "...by their fruits shall you know them..." Show me some fruit...
***Why do we look to politicians to solve our problems...We don't need new laws...With the brain trusts we have in this Country and with the American tradition of service to others, why can't 'Intelligentsia' rally to offer solutions to our problems...or maybe it's the politicians who aren't listening or who don't know how to delegate or trust too much on their own understanding...Surround yourself with competent advisers...
***Our currency proclaims, "In God We Trust", yet we continue to elect godless public servants...our laws are based on the Ten Commandments, but we aren't allowed to display them publicly or mention God in schools...
***We are a Country Who holds unalienable rights to come from God, yet we deny the Right To Life to millions of unborn babies, making the womb one of the most dangerous places to be...We continue to repeat the mistakes of history...much like the slaves who were denied 'personhood', babies in their 
Mother's wombs are referred to as 'mere tissue', 'blobs of cells', and 'unwanted pregnancies'...
***We are decaying morally...
***Putting it bluntly...We need a Spiritual and Social Revival to take place...We are at the point where ONLY GOD can clean up the mess we have made...!!!
God have mercy on us and our beloved Nation...!!!
