Gosh dang it Tia!!! I go to your fireside on Say Go Be Do and next thing I know I get this BIG one!!! What the heck!
Well, moving on, this Say Go Be Do like I said is a Big one. The biggest I think that I've ever had. And because of the potential size that this can achieve I want to hear some feedback from anyone and everyone. PLEASE, help me out!!! Help me by answering these questions truthfully.
1. What does America mean to you?
2. What do we, as citizens (young and not so young:), need to know or do in order to restore America to its past greatness?
I ask this because I see a great change in our nation. We have lost the vigor in defending our foundation, the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence; those great, inspired founding documents. I see us, our nation, as a people who love our rights but aren't willing to do all that much to defend them.
In all honesty, I'm scared for our country. I'm scared that I won't be able to go on a mission because our country will be ushered into World War III. I'm scared that doesn't happen, then I will be recalled from my mission early, or that when I return, by nation will be so our of touch with its foundation that I really won't be able to recognize it anymore. It may sound corny or whatever, but I'm afraid for my future wife and kids. I'm afriad that I won't be able to provide for their basic needs because nobody in our country will be able to hold a job. Or that I won't know them at all because I will be too busy working to provide a living that I'm never home.
So I come to you, my friends and fellow citizens. Its the people who founded this nation, who got us through War, depression, and attacks on our nation. Every time it has been the people who have got our nation through its trials. So what do we need? What are good, inspiring books to read that have stories about our Founders or Founding Principles? What are some things that we as the people can do?
I ask you to join me in taking a stand for our nation. In telling the government, the anarchists, communists, and socialists, telling the world "Dont Tred on Me"! It's gotta be us to stand up, 'cause if you and I don't, please tell me who will...

"I could choose not to move, but I refuse!"
This is such a great song! It is called "I Refuse" by Josh Wilson. God has called each person to do something, listen when he whispers to your soul and choose to act! It's easier not to act in the moment, but the rewards of acting in the moment are greater than NOT acting! Be a SayGoBeDoer :D
Here are the lyrics (READ while you listen, it makes such a greater impact!)-
Sometimes I,/I just want to close my eyes/And act like everyone’s alright/When I know they’re not. /This world needs God,/But it’s easier to stand and watch./I could pray a prayer and just move on/Like nothing’s wrong,/But I refuse.
‘Cause I don’t want to live like I don’t care./I don’t want to say another empty prayer./Oh, I refuse to/Sit around and wait for someone else/To do what God has called me to do myself./Oh, I could choose/Not to move but I refuse.
I can hear the least of these/Crying out so desperately,/And I know we are the hands and feet/Of you, oh God./So, if you say move,/Then it’s time for me to follow through,/And do what I was made to do./Show them who you are.
‘Cause I don’t want to live like I don’t care./I don’t want to say another empty prayer./Oh, I refuse to/Sit around and wait for someone else/To do what God has called me to do myself./Oh, I could choose/Not to move but I refuse.
To stand and watch/The weary and lost/Cry out for help./I refuse/To turn my back/And try and act like all is well./I refuse/To stay unchanged,/To wait another day,/To die to myself./I refuse/To make one more excuse.
‘Cause I don’t want to live like I don’t care./I don’t want to say another empty prayer./Oh, I refuse to/Sit around and wait for someone else/To do what God has called me to do myself./Oh, I could choose/Not to move but I refuse.
