God bless America. I am sure that many of us say it without necessarily backing that up with the faith that God will do as we pray and ask Him for. God has blessed this nation and it’s no secret that this nation emerged as the world's sole superpower after WWII, and as such, America has attracted and amassed a tremendous amount of influence.
Think about its military might and strength, economic power, technological advancements. At the same time, America has made many people around the world unhappy, and that means it’s made enemies, perhaps permanently. Yet, despite it all, this land is undeniably blessed. Whatever happens here affects the entire planet, whether directly or indirectly. When this country experiences blessings and abundance, it spills over to the rest of the world.
Living here, you quickly realize just how diverse this place is, especially in areas like New York and California. Almost every nation in the world has people living in the United States. One of the things that became painfully clear after 9/11 was the sheer diversity of those affected
There were victims from over 100 countries who lost their lives in that tragedy at the World Trade Center in Manhattan.
That’s why, when there’s a shift in political leadership here at home, the whole world pays attention. As America approaches another election, all eyes will be on us. Nations everywhere are watching and preparing to adapt to whoever emerges as the next leader of the free world after November 5. What moves are they preparing to make like the game of chess?
So, are you ready for some change? Are you going to be a part of this change, or just a spectator? If you have the opportunity to participate, don’t waste it, go out and be part of this all important civic engagement. My thing is, whether we participate or not, politics will affect us. If we do not vote, whatever or whoever we get we will have to live with and forever hold our peace. I want to be able to criticize the outcome so I voted. You go do that too, and when you’re done, take a moment to pray, “God bless America.”
I remain your Pal,
Ronnie Law
