Please Remain Standing

Stand for truth, righteousness, common sense, and personal Responsibility.                                                       To handle the truth, one must be certain of the truth and what it Entails.                                                             Truth is not to be sat on, lied on, spit on, but totally relied upon Continually. Righteousness proceeds from God; if he is left out of the equation, it Fails.                                             There is no righteousness but values clarification, no absolutes, Conformity.                                       
Common sense, disguised and despised, is a luxury too few even care About.                                        Personal responsibility, a Divine assignment being arrogantly Sabotaged.                                                           

Leave your mark on this world; refuse to be silenced, never giving up or Out.                                                                 Disallow discouragement to wear us down, but gallantly, lead the Charge                                     Beware the enemy; do not fear him; and about this, there can be no Doubt   
Never underestimate the importance, the value of righteousness in a Nation.                                                  A defensive weapon, impenetrable wall; builds offenses, destroys Strongholds. Certain and sound intolerances, respectfully honored, avoid Devastation.                                           

For years, we were taught that rules are made by those who hold the Gold.                 Overacting is unplanned reaction; victory requires a proactive Action.
Freedom demands we sit at counters that serve, not counterfeits, but Truth. Common sense, a security blanket for self-control, disallowing control by Others. Personal responsibility is a courageous choice like one made by the Biblical character of Ruth. Generally, peace and prosperity will follow us when we choose to love God and one Another. May we stand and remain standing for those eternal principles that we were taught in our Youth.
