A Quiet Time Of Refection

When I was in Taipei Taiwan, I visited this military monument and off the beaten path I found this person paying respects to the fallen soldiers and while I was observing this time of reflection I thought that most countries pay their respects to the fallen heroes just like we do in America. When you really think about it, all the people of the world want the same things in life, freedom, peace, community, and family. What does make the USA different is that we are the only country in history that has the same core desires as other countries with one major exception, we were founded on a Christian belief value system, we are the only society that publicly thanks to God, it was in everything that we did, we used to pray before community and national meetings, we are sworn in using the Holy Bible, and on our money. It's like we are turning away from that foundation that made our country so giving, we had a moral compass. We give more charity from our government and from our private sector to people in need than another country. If there is a natural disaster in our country or abroad we are the first to step up and give our resources gladly to help our fellow man. I do pray that we return back to our foundation as a people before we stray so far we can't find our way back, we need to be a God fearing people once again and then we will receive the blessings we once enjoyed.
