A Walk In Faith

For so long I have known that there are problems in our government. I knew so many things were wrong but I haven't been able to put my finger on it. I could look around and see our foundation crumbling. I had thought I can't stand to watch this anymore, so I turned off the news for months. Than I saw the Tea Parties starting up and I thought everyone thinks they are radicals anyway, why waste my time? And they grew. When Bill 3200 came along, I was disgusted. I thought my government has ran every program or industry they are a part of into the ground, and were handing them over 1/5 of the economy. WOW. What are we going to do now? That is when the I started to see the town hall meetings. I witnessed all these brave Americans standing up, unafraid to be called the "lunatic fringe." They saw the need for there voices to be heard and spoke up. So, I figured I can't let my fellow country men and women be brave alone. I will not stand idly by and let the media tell us how few people agree. I am not an overly religious person, however, I began to pray. I prayed that the lord would show me the way that I can make a difference. I got my answer, that on Sep. 12th there would be a march on Washington. I really had no idea how many people would be there. Many of my family and friends didn't believe, they said "I know things are wrong, but how is you going to DC going to change anything?" I didn't either but I had faith, an unwavering faith in my country and my lord that all was not lost. As I walked onto Pennsylvania avenue I saw hundreds of thousands of people, and all I could think was, "none of these people knew how many people would be here or what difference it would make, We Were All There On Faith!" And no matter how many people they say attended, I believe that the true power of that day comes from the knowledge That We Are Not Alone..There are many many other who are walking in Faith, and the movement grows. God Bless America.
