America

The question that was asked was what we thought about America and our feelings about where this country is now. When I was little, I always thought that the rest of the world was like this country. But then I got a glimpse of what other countries are like when I visited India when I was around 7 or 8. This completely changed my mindset of America, and I have tried to never forget how great of a country America really is.
But the sad truth is that America hasn't lived up to the principles it was founded on. It started out with a strong foundation in God, and I believe that is why this country has become the nation with the greatest amount of freedom for its people. We have gotten away from the morals that made this country great in the first place. America continues to try to ignore and shut God out from our lives, and lots of prayer is going to be needed for our great nation.

  1. You are fortunate to have a unique perspective, having been out of the country. It makes me sad to see where we have come from...but prayer makes a difference!
