In the vast recesses of my mind and memory I never met a rose I didn’t adore, a child I didn’t find amazing and a man unworthy of the Love God first gave me. Dogs are always giving me what I give them, which is mostly love, attention and someone to listen when the people or other species won’t. We are in the perfect times for matching with works the words we have so often flippantly delivered. The chips are down, are we down too?

Pizza, passion and pontification are splendid but nothing beats a home with truth, dependence and guaranteed safety with love. Wrapped in the arms, fealty and cocoon of mirth/compassion we find the process by which confidence, goodness and health are formed. Why then do we require no understanding of family building, planning or education built into our education peer model? Why are personal finances, relationship skills and conflict resolution, essential tools for maturity not part of all curriculums developed with the intent of creating solid families that become and solidify the foundation of America?

We are suffering the loss of logic and the pivotal mastery of goodness which leads to greatness when ripened on the vines of social education. We have forgotten or departed from the sound science of faithful adherence to those things that make the home functional, fastidious and resilient in the winds of any anticipated storm. Having left the cradle of common sense we seek to jump from heights much beyond the expectation of survival, healing and temperance. When will Mothers return to prudent measures of solemn demand that match the evidence provided by societal history? When will truth and the grand truth that Jesus Christ is Lord alleviate our corporate dementia? Awakening first requires recognition of slumber or lethargy.

To wall Soldiers, not simply to fight or prepare but provide the eyes and sound the alarms of danger. We will never prevail over the coming chaos without fair warning which we have duly been given responsibility in provision. When will we step up to the plate for a large helping of accountability from which we have run nationally, eschewing our making, blessing and direction? To what future do we expect acquaintance if we are unwilling to meet the present and prepare from what comes following that expectation of present’s mastery? Do we have contempt for knowledge or just the part where it becomes sound wisdom and learned maturity?
