Changes

Conflicts and crises, unfortunately,  are often the creatures giving birth to a host of changes

History records multiple stories, bathed in blood, of cultural, political, and religious changes

Ancients and ancestors labored, fought, and died to create the changes we now enjoy

New World seekers, settlers, foreigners, and pilgrims prayed and formed a new nation

God should always be credited with any measure of success between humankind

Every effort of advancing civilization by way of humanism is futile without God's touch

Societies once pagan are now Godly; some countries once Godly are now living as pagans
