When I make a choice to do or not do something then I am
acting in my own locus of control. As a writer
I write or I do not write. It is my
choice. As Christ follower I either obey
or I do not. As an American citizen I
either work toward what is good or I do not.
A great America requires that we reconnect with the idea of
personal responsibility. It is not
anyone else’s fault if I do not give my best to make my life all it can
be. Everyone can have a better life if
they take personal responsibility for that life. There are challenges, setbacks, and obstacles. All that means is that I must be tougher, persistent,
and creative.
I must be responsible for the choices I make. I have an education because I studied. I have a good job because I kept seeking
better jobs. I am not a self-made man
but my work and persistence has played a part in where I am. It will play a part in where I am headed as
well.
I have heard too many people say that some entity or other
prevented them from succeeding. That is
just impossible. We can become almost
anything if we work hard and chase our dreams.
It is in that personal responsibility that greatness lies. If we want a great nation we must re-embrace
the idea that it is great when it is make up of millions of its citizens
striving to be individually great whilst helping others do the same.
If I do not give my best effort for my life then I should
not expect anyone else to do it for me.
Christ demands my best and my country sure needs it.
Wishing you joy in the journey,

Mat 13:52 So Jesus said to them, "That is why every writer
who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home
owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store."
