I’m sure those of you on the other side could name as many and we could all name many, many more.

Those people who were our real moral leaders are long gone and we’ve come to the era of immorality, amorality and expedience.

So this one is non-partisan.

This one is about what happens when you ease God out of your life and presume to know better than Him.

God doesn’t have to be God. Nope. AA knows better than that and simply calls it a higher power. Without a higher power we tend to think we really are something. But we’re not. We all put our pants on the same way, one leg at a time.

We wonder why there are so many mass shootings. We wonder why there is so much corruption. We wonder and we wonder and we wonder.

And then we look at all external places, as if we might fight an answer there. Well, the French fought in Viet Nam for almost nine years. The Russians fought in Afghanistan for about ten years. In both places America thought it could do better and went on to make the same mistakes to the same end.

And that’s just two simple examples.

The point is that when you start to ease a higher power out and think you’re all that… Well, pride goeth before the fall.

The answers are not external, not out there like where you can touch them and take hold of them and make them work.

Nope. The answers are internal and when you stop teaching those internal lessons, those lessons of conscience and a fixed morality code like the Ten Commandments, like the Sermon on the Mount, like their counterparts in almost all religions.

When they are lost forever, erased, we will be lost forever, not just America, but the human race.

And so it goes.

In the video age, when one can present a video of what someone did ten years ago, we start to see how immoral and outright dishonest our political leaders are. We start to see their intent, their motivation.

In the sports world we only have to look at the NFL and now the NBA to see what is of importance to them.

It is very rarely the right thing that is of importance. It is mostly that thing which will enrich he/she who is advocating that thing.

And no, capitalism is not the problem Again that is looking at the externals.

Greed is the problem. Greed and power.

When we start to ease God out, to exert personal EGO, we are in real danger of losing our way, of losing our moral compass. And if you look at where our society is going and where our leaders on every front are taking us, we are in real peril.
