In light of the recent events that have befallen America I decided to take a trip back in time. A time in America where hope and dreams were very much alive. Where to be an American was to be something bigger than ourselves. There was a cause greater, a purpose for which we were all participants. Each for the other and all for the country. Today it would appear the motto is ‘Ask me not to do for my country, but tell me what my country is going to do for me’. Oh how the times have changed.

“Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.” — John F. Kennedy

I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’” Acts 20:35 (ESV)
