Staying Focused

I know 'True Americanism' when I SEE it. I know far too little about the 'Critical Race Theory'* to be caught in the same sentence with such a theory. But I know 'True Americanism' when I see and FEEL it. And I have witnessed, lived, and read true reality. I've heard the pros and the cons in the big debates. I have a date with destiny, and it's too late to make me hate. It would be gross remissness if I dared to dismiss those who do. My eyes have been touched by The Master hands, and I'm sorry if we don't see eye to eye about politics or Red States and Blue States. God has given us, not a myriad of theories, but The Actual Book of Truth. I know 'True Americanism' when I HEAR it. And I tell you, I am hearing a lot of lies. There is enough lies on every side of mankind to go around. Therefore, I recognize 'the big lies' when I hear them, and a long time ago, I decided to 'Let every man be a lie, and let God be the truth"**. When you added it all up, what matters is whether we think like God thinks. What I have experienced and lived tells the version of my story, and I am diabolically opposed to 'intellectual dishonesty'. Like one actor said to another actor, "You can't handle the truth!". No, justice has never rolled down in my country like a mighty scream. And yes, miscarriages of justice still run rampant in many American sectors. The fact remains that I have not seen, heard, or felt anything that remotely entices me to turn against the core beliefs of my country. No, I am not naive to the fact that evil and evil men and women will always be around to not only astound but also to fix what's not broken and to break what is still a work in progress. I have often observed a very interesting event in the life of Christ as he was finishing his work. He refused to be distracted by anything that would shift him off course or change his focus***. To good and great Americans of all persuasions, let's stay focused. 061921PSCtest, Critical Race Theory, Anthony Biaanco. 2P *Critical race theory examines social, cultural and legal issues as they relate to race and racism. .....Critical race theory examines how the law intersects with issues of race, and challenges mainstream liberal approaches to racial justice. Wikipedia **Romans 3:4 ***Lk. 13:31-33

This is powerful, Curtis! There is only one truth and that is God's truth! Anything else is a lie and we need to choose which way we'll follow. Great write, Curtis! Blessings, Kim M
