My Commitment

  God uses good people. Bad people use God. ~ Loretta Jenkins Suiter (1894-1984)      I have been thinking about what my grandmother said a lot lately. And, then, my next thought is of what Edmund Burke said: “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”    It is time for good people to do something. Something so simple and pure that it seems hard for many to recognize. Maybe it has been easier to wait and hope that others will do it for them, but waiting for others is not working for us anymore.    So, I will do it first: I will state clearly and concisely: I am a citizen of the United States of America. My country was founded with the Declaration of Independence and our government is based upon our Constitution. I understand that as a citizen, I have rights afforded to me - "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness" which are endowed by the Creator. (Back to that God thing.) The Constitution sets out the rules for our society.
