How We Role

The gate has fallen and the outer wall is breached, my friends.  We have been in a desperate war against evil in this fallen world since time began, and the enemy has broken our defenses.  Today’s society is the product of my own generation’s sad misconception of ‘how’ to raise your children.  Now those children are almost grown and preparing to take key roles in running our great nations and they have a skewed sense of what is right and what is wrong.  Respect is an old fashioned way of thinking; an idea that really has no meaning now what so ever.  Oh, there are still a few small bastions holding out, but even in those the poison of the enemy has seemed deep into the veins of our families.  I think that is exactly how it started too; with disposable families.  I’m not sure exactly when, but somewhere along the line family became a ‘fad’ or ‘fashion’ instead of a ‘responsibility’ and ‘privilege.’  There are kids out there now, as I write this that have no role models, and have no idea of how or even why they should show people respect.  And it is all of our faults.  We let it happen.  We are still letting it happen.  I think we may still have a slim chance to force the enemy back.  There is a slim ray of hope that still glimmers in the dark.  We have to lead by example now.  Show people respect, because little eyes are watching and learning from your actions and reactions.  They will remember how you treated others and they will emulate that as well.  It all resides with us, so do what’s right.  Be a role model.
