If "One" can do it, what about one "Hundred"

       If “One”, can do it, What about one “Hundred”

What does this mean, if one can do it, what about one hundred?  Just a question to ponder on, I know that we all have ask ourselves this many times over and probably will for years to come. I think that the time has come for me, so I am asking you to join up with me in spreading these words around if you care too…. “I will never know will I?”

The way that I see things, it is not just one person that is responsible for the mess that we are in, where do we get the right too be pointing blame at anyone person. A few quotes are needed here, “My fellow Americans”  “Let me be very clear”, “Read my lips” “God Bless America”, these are just a few, a very few quotes that we have heard over the years. Smooth talking, good looking, and a person that speaks well. They all made promises that we as Americans knew deep down in our hearts they would not, could not keep nevertheless we listened and voted for them.

However, when one person can stand up and shout out, “I don’t like this, if you don’t change it, I will sue” Then when one hundred people stands up, “and shouts out, we don’t like this,” if you do not change it, we will argue about it. Has there ever been a large group threatens to sue too make changes in this country? Seems like the lawmakers, City, State, and Federal governments are more afraid of just “ONE” than they are of “ONE HUNDRED”. Are you getting picture now?

Our founding Fathers, which by the way were immigrants; put together a list of laws for this country live by, for over two hundred years we have been doing so. It took thousands, and thousands of different nationalities working together to make this a great country. There will always be immigrants coming to America because of whom we were that is what I said “WERE” we still could be the greatest country in the world if we would only accept the blame for what has happened to us. Again, if only that we would accept the blame for what has happened to us. Yes, were the ones to blame for our problems? We stood up at the rallies, listened on TV, and followed the trains (for those who can remember) they were good-looking smooth talking promise making individuals some were just trash talkers. We listened, we voted, and then we complained, because of what was going on, just one broken promise after broken promise. We still do the same today, so it is no wonder that we are in the mess that we are in today.  When just one person can stand up voice his opinion a change is made, just one person had God removed from the schools etc. Just one person, made a big difference in the way that we celebrate our holidays, just one person made a threat and won.


Just one person has almost single handedly turn this country around. However, that person was not alone. We the hundred did not stand up long enough, we gave in. so when we want to place the blame somewhere, just look in the mirror and say thank you.

It is no wonder that we are not liked too well around the world, we do not like ourselves very much, we do not think of ourselves as being the good servants of our land.

“If you are happy with what you have, then you can keep it”
Sound familiar, and then the best thing for us is just too be quiet and fade away with the dust that is going to be kicked up when the rest of us stand up and making changes in this country.

How does the saying go?  “If you can’t lead or follow, then get the hell out of the way.” 

Which group will you be a part of The “One person” or the “One hundred?”

Hope in the midst of Grief

                     Hope in the midst of Grief
By Martha Bomar

This was a poem that our Pastor read as part of the 4 of July service at church today. I thought that you might just enjoy it.

         In the midst of a world filled heartache and pain,
        Where violence and crime may strike anytime, anywhere,
        Many people are filled with despair.
        Massive buildings burned to ashes, nothing left but a heap
        of rubble and ashes several stories deep.
        Thousands are lost, hundreds seek in vain, but only the
        Ashes of those lives could remain.

         Where was God when this happens? Didn’t He even care?
         How could He allow this? It doesn’t seem fair.
         Where was His mercy in this tragic event?
         Can He hear our heart’s cry, our fearful lament?

                         Then with pain in His voice:
          “My child, I was absent because that was your choice.
          You wanted me out of your Government and schools;
          You claimed My commandments were only for fools.

           You’ve become your own idol, self- sufficient and proud;
            Refused to let students speak my son’s name out loud.
           “You ask, Where was God?”…but am I to blame,
           When only in cursing you called out my name?

           America, America, I’ve blessed you and yet, in times of                      
           Prosperity you seem to forget.

           You’ve made a mockery of my mercy and grace,
           rejected My son, Even laughed in his face.



           Humble yourselves seek My face, and pray;
           Turn from your wickedness and walk my way,
           then I will hear, and I will heal your land.
           Once again My protection will cover your land.

           Spiritual darkness increases, but hope is not lost;
           To save you and protect you, My son paid the cost.

            Oh America, America, return unto me,
            I am the only hope in the mist of your grief.
            Look up America, your redemption draws near.
            Soon, in the clouds, our Savior will appear.

            Then together with those who have passed on before,
            We’ll join Him in the clouds, to live forevermore.
