Americanism: A Talent A Stewardship

Remember the parable of the talents?  I believe it has reference beyond just the money, gifts and abilities that come to mind naturally as we think about it.  Our circumstances as Americans are a gift.  The constitution is a gift.  Freedom is a gift.

Viewed that way, what are we doing with our uniquely American gifts?  The master is away and he expects us to create increase with the talents he gave us.  Think of that responsibility.  For the most part, we haven't actively pursued our stewardship.  We've allowed much of our gift of freedom to be taken and ruined.  Our talents have decreased considerably since our founding.

The good news is, we can still change.  We can still repent and set things aright.  But we've got to act.  The ignorance, laziness, evasion of responsibility and apathy that have plagued us must be abandoned in favor of educated, organized activity.

We have hired a bunch of people to act for us, politically.  But just as in the case of hiring someone for any work you need done, the less you know about it, the more vulnerable you are to being ripped off.  Most Americans haven't read the constitution since school days.  Most pay no attention to what's going on in Washington or even locally.  We hired these people.  And when the cat's away, the mice will play.  They've been playing.  They've grown from mice to rats.  They've made a rat's nest of our government.

  But it's not enough to throw them out of office and begin again.  They need supervision.  Evidently, they need micro-management.  In my business, I tend to be a hands off manager.  My guys know what to do and they do it.  Usually this works fine, but sometimes I have to step in and oversee things.  I don't really enjoy it.  But it has to be done.  I'm responsible.  It's my name out there.  The same goes for you as a sovereign citizen.  You're responsible.  But keep in mind, everything we do as we see to our responsibilities as overseers of the government will lead to huge payoffs.  Freedom, power, happiness and money await us as we clean our political house and then are constantly vigilant against the enemies of freedom.
