It's been a while since I've taken time to blog. I started a post last month but didn't have time to get back to it. I'll finish and save that post for another time. In light of the country being so close to being evenly split on the direction the country will take for the next 4 years, I thought those of us who are not enthusiastically looking forward to it need a reminder of perspective and truth.
Our nation was founded like no other nation in the history of the earth. We have been through some pretty horrible things in our young 236 year existence. We've been through a revolution, slavery, a civil war, stock market booms and crashes, women's suffrage, a great depression, jim crow laws, world wars and crises, terrorist attacks, and some whopper storms, tornadoes & earthquakes that nearly wiped cities off the map. That's an awful lot! Any or all of these could have at one time or another torn us to shreds, but it didn't. While I'm not naive to the breadth of issues and problems facing this country (the fiscal cliff, tax increases for all, inflation on all fronts, trillions more in uncontrolled spending and debt, devaluation of the dollar, recession on the horizon, and eventual insolvency, to mention a few), I am choosing to be optimistic because the only way we'll wade through this is by rallying together around our founding document- The Constitution. Politicians come and go, but the constitution remains.
This starts in our own homes as individuals. We must remember that our rights and hope come from God, not government. Change only happens when we make it happen. So if you haven't already, start paying attention to your money! Individual financial freedom is only the start of a greater wave of national freedom unrivaled in our history. Choose today to make the changes necessary to experience this freedom for yourselves, it will be worth it!
One last thing: In light of the devastation caused by Hurricane Sandy, I am going to start a new section on the blog called emergency preparedness and self-reliance. To me, this is just as important as being fiscally prepared.
