The Woke agenda is practically gone. Now is the time to pick up and move beyond. The protection of faith is fundamental to liberty. It is also elemental to America's history.
As long as our day has length, Belief in God must be defended with strength. We must not allow disbelief to shape society. I say this calmly without any anxiety.
No more anti-Christian bias should be allowed. We will hold our heads high and humbly proud. No longer afraid to speak our faith and our minds, The meanness of yesterday will be left behind.
The First Amendment and civil liberty, Both speak plainly through American history. We will work together to invalidate religious bigotry. Faith is and was and will be expressed freely.
Love of God is joined to our love of our country. This joining together is necessary for our liberty. The rights of man were given by God, not government. We must return to this understanding 100 percent.
It is to God that we owe our national resplendence. It is thusly inscribed in the Declaration of Independence. God's works are always something quite wonderful, Wherever His touch is, it becomes something quite beautiful.
So it will be in our great and magnificent country. We will trace our steps as a matter of belief and liberty. In doing so, our nation will enjoy freedom's prosperity. This was, is, and will be the path of our nation's history.

“By doing good with his money, a man, as it were, stamps the image of god upon it, and makes it pass current for the merchandise of heaven.” – John Rutledge
The brave man knows It's now or never. The cautious man thinks That's not so clever.
Sometimes it's simply time To throw caution to the wind. In these times, it's time to live However it is, that dreams end.
She looked on with the thought That she could patch him together. He was willing to do his best. But he knew that he knew better.
She thought she would try anyway, Giving her trust in God above. It began that faithful Autumn day, This twist of fate, they'd call love.
Beginning a comic, tragic adventure, They dreamed it for them and for all of us. Setting sail under the cover of the waters, Like Captain Nemo on the mighty Nautilus.
Two became one to purposefully explore, What seemed perhaps life's great mystery. It is those who dare to seek always for more That find their way to rewrite history.
The more educated men stumble on rhymes, Fortunate enough to get it wrong sometimes. In the jungle, it pays to learn to be strong. Two in one are better, knowing where they belong.
Raising their voices in an unknown sailing song, They'll find their way right where they belong. As long as the two in one have faith in each other, They'll always have one another.

“To prevent crimes is the noblest end and aim of criminal jurisprudence. To punish them, is one of the means necessary for the accomplishment of this noble end and aim.” – James Wilson (1790)
“Whoever controls the volume of money in our country is absolute master of all industry and commerce…when you realize that the entire system is very easily controlled, one way or another, by a few powerful men at the top, you will not have to be told how periods of inflation and depression originate.” – James A. Garfield
It is crucial in determining the source of all political violence to ‘follow the money.” Remember that Garfield was assassinated shortly after making these remarks in his inaugural address.
Somehow, I've split at my seams, But I'm still holding to my dreams. All my summers have met their end. Still, all in all, you're my forever friend.
Stated in its mighty declarative, Life best lived is lived by its narrative. The road goes on in its intensity. Sometimes all I have left is my propensity.
My propensity to get it right, Out under the spotlight, night after night. I pray to play just one more hour, Captivated as I am by music's power.
I don't feel old or full of sorrow. I will leave that for a bleaker tomorrow. I'll push on as long as I'm alive, Playing your favorites and all of my jive.
Bending my notes to the core of my soul, You know that I'm a believer in God and rock-n-roll. Bringing the last of my best to the stage, That's what I want said on my last turned page.
My propensity to get it right, Out under the spotlight, night after night. I pray to play just one more hour, Captivated as I am by music's power.

“Absence diminishes small loves and increases great ones, as the wind blows out the candle and fans the bonfire.”– Francois Duc de la Rochefoucauld, Maxims
I hear God's children crying. Lord, hear your believers trying. We try hard to make sense of this all, As each of us responds to your call.
We know with all legitimacy That we must submit to godly authority. We give our best in the form of respect, Doing these things as needed without neglect.
God constituted government, church, and family. Each of these is to be lived out past the homily. The Bible was written in the times it was lived in. Its relevance burdens us, though we are forgiven.
Humbled in our lives by God's written revelation, Feeling hobbled by each role of government for the nation: For our protection and prosperity at its best. Yet, every moment of living is a continuing test.
Living life in the politics of most everything, We do our best with the talents that we bring. Some would love to avoid thinking about sin. But then, where and on what would our discussion begin?
The thoughts are easily enough incurred That we should live so that the Bible is inferred. Navigating through all the turbulence met In ways that God's teachings are what we don't forget.
Like fish in the fight to swim upstream, We follow God in our hearts as we continue to dream. Relying on faith from the start, The moments that we live are hard on our hearts.
Take heed and know in our shades of contemplation, What happens mostly happens toward our redemption. God's Word is there as our ready guide Through the hardest of times, so that we do not slide.
Somehow, we have lost our way from true humility, Conscious as we are of each other's dignity. Days pass in which we know we're lost in our ways. The people of faith live this tragedy, day after day.
Charlie Kirk was a courageous evangelistic voice. Politely allowing his opposition to make the choice Of wherever each conversation might transpire and go - Until a madman stopped this democratic flow.
Society has a world-class listening problem today, The give and take is broken in seemingly every way. Until we learn to love enough to give earnest debate, Our world is trapped in the shame that passes as hate.
Ultimately, God is the final authority. We are to honor this rightful legitimacy. We do not live in a world of ceaseless perfection. But if we listen to God, we'll find the right correction.
Born into a world of dark words and unceasing harshness, It can be hard to find light in all this darkness. Some moments are harder for the best of us than others. Yet still, we must walk with love for one another.
The foolishness in others is also found in our mirrors. Too often, our souls are ripped in two by our errors. Our brokenness becomes a resort to the blame game, When, after all, it is love that is our Father's name.
We must turn from our wickedness with humility, Allowing others their paths and esteemed dignity. We must be wiser in the handling of our disagreements, Whether it is with our neighbors or our governments.
