Dear Americans be encouraged!!!

Dear Americans,

As I write you this letter, we are 90 days away from the next election. I ask you, what are you going with your 90 days? It has been a tough summer. We have been beaten and battered; from the Tea Party being called racist to the entire Arizona issue. For the first time in our lives, our freedom is truly at risk right in front of our very eyes. So again I ask you, 90 days till the Election Day, what are you going to do? It’s been a particularly difficult week for me. Being worn down from the bigot and Uncle Tom slurs can really take it out of you. I must admit, I started to question what difference I was making in the grand scheme of things. It was as if I was breathing a deep breath of fresh air when my 9 year old daughter came over for the weekend, it renewed my spirit, drive, and my reason for doing this. As I thought about what I want to do for her generation, I thought about the great Americans who had come before me. The dedicated men and women of the past who sacrificed so much for us; from Martin Luther King, George Washington, Medgar Evers, Abraham Lincoln and Susie B Anthony. What is so impressive about all of these people is they share one common trait; they were self-less. Do you have this self-less trait, and more importantly, are you using it? I know with the Arizona judgment a lot of people have gotten discouraged, so here’s a little something to cheer you up. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. John 16:33. So let’s be encouraged! We are almost in the home stretch to our first step; 90 days till Election Day. I ask you to examine what you truly believe; it is going to get worse before it gets better. Are your riches more important than you freedoms? Are your friendships worth you freedoms? Is your freedom worth your freedoms? And what is your relationship with God worth to you? These are things you should know beyond the shadow of a doubt; just in case it comes to that. Make sure you’re sure. As I close, I would like to give you one more scripture to think about this week. Where no wise counsel is, the people fail: but in the multitude of wise counselors is safety. Proverbs 11:14 So my question for you is; do you have wise council in your life? If the answer is no, please take the time to get a few friends that can help keep your eye on the prize because November will be here before we know it. Let me use this moment to thank my wise council in my life when I need it; My Mom and Dad, Sister North, Bishop Douglass, Pastor Brown, Ladrain, Maurice, Darrell, Pam and my new friend in this journey we call conservatism Kenneth and even my younger cousin Joshua ( thanks for the editing), who while younger than my entire list, still surprises me with some of the things he says. (Some of these people do not share my views, but are instrumental in the young man I have become.) Finally, 90 days left till the election; what are you going to do??

Being of good cheer
