I cannot wrap my thoughts around the lack of integrity in the current administration. Biden first stated he was not going to pardon his son, and then he pardons him. He knew he was going to in the first place. So, why lie? Integrity is defined as, “the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness.” I see people everyday who act entitled, “believing oneself to be inherently deserving of privileges or special treatment,” and have zero understanding of what manners are.

“A good moral character is the first essential in a man. It is therefore highly important that you should endeavor not only to be learned but virtuous.”

George Washington; December 05, 1790

“Virtuous” is defined as “having or showing high moral standards.” It all goes back to having good moral character, which for many is a lost art. Times have changed. Many rarely send postcards, or greeting cards due to modern day technology. Many shop online instead of going out to stores. Many were not content with their own biological gender, so they changed it. Many family members who are Liberal no longer speak to those who are Republican. Technology has advanced so far and wide that in many ways, it has caused us to lose the personal touch of caring. It has caused us to become lazy in our manners because we are so busy on our cell phones that we do not have time to say, “Thank you!” What is right in front of us, is a society that has become a degenerate one. Degenerate is defined as, “having lost the physical, mental, or moral qualities considered normal and desirable; showing evidence of decline; corrupt.” I think of the word decay. It is defined as, “rot, decompose.” For many, there is no moral compass due to the fact that God was removed from this country, and it started decades ago. He was removed in our schools, our courthouses, as well as in public places.

“It is impossible to rightly govern a nation without God and the Bible.”

I do not know if George Washington quoted that. But it is still absolute truth. Without God, society can only go in one direction and that is toward degeneration as we have seen here in America the last four years. But America’s decline started long before that when God was starting to be removed from a country that was founded on His word. It became questionable to discipline children and parents then stopped because they were threatened with getting arrested. There are people out there that literally cut ties with family members because they voted for Trump. It is incredibly demonic and simply UNAMERICAN! This is a free country. By telling me you will no longer care for me if I voted for Trump, means you never cared about me in the first place. I would not cut someone out of my life if they voted for Biden or Harris. I understand freedom and that means everyone has a right to choose. This does not mean I accept abortion. I do believe there should be certain allowances for abortion, but not as a means of birth control. The underlying issue that no one wants to talk about in that case, is the simple fact that these women don’t want to shut their legs, or use proper birth control. Many women get pregnant just to get an abortion because it makes them feel empowered. It is absolutely sickening that these women lack moral standards. But that is pretty much what liberalism means. It is defined as, “inclination to be open to ideas and ways of behaving that are not conventional or traditional.” Meaning if I want to go against my God given gender I should have the right to do so. If my child wants to change his or her gender, I should have the right to allow it. It is derangement. “A state of mental disorientation and being unable to think clearly or behave in a controlled way. This is often due to mental illness. Synonyms of derangement in this context include mental unsoundness, unbalance, and insanity.” It is difficult to reason with anyone under this type of “mental unsoundness.” The best thing we can do is to pray for them that God would bring them back to a right state of mind. We cannot give up on a lost society. We do not have to take their abuse. But we should be willing to (at the very least) pray that God will help them return to good moral character. Some are far too gone. I honestly do not think that the likes of Nancy Pelosi will ever stop being who they are. But it is not impossible. Hell was never meant for humans. I also know that God loves her and is still a merciful God. But some people just do not want God in their lives, even though they claim to be of “faith.” You will know them by their fruits.” Matthew 7:16 (NKJV) https://julianalove.com/2023/03/10/america-is-sick/!

I think America has reached another turning point. She is on her way back from a very dark and destructive place. But we also need to become more aware of our own moral character. Saying, “please,” and “Thank you,” really are not hard things to do and they only take seconds. There is no price tag on kindness. So, what do I do about those people who I let in front of me, or I do something nice for and they do not respond? I have been known to cuss them out. So, what was the point of me being kind? I have to be who God wants me to be, without expecting anything in return. God is able to reach hard and entitled hearts a lot better than I can. I just need to strive to become more and more like Jesus. It doesn’t mean I allow myself or my family to be abused. But I cannot be a light, if I am acting no different than what is dark. America, we need light and it starts with Jesus!

“When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” John 8:12 (NIV)
