“Recent school shootings have lured ill-informed Americans into a war on our Second Amendment guarantees, led by the nation’s tyrants and their useful idiots. … The Second Amendment was given to us as protection against tyranny by the federal government and the Congress of the United States.” – Walter E. Williams (1936-2020)
“Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect every one who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined.” – Patrick Henry (1788)
In our leadership and our ability To lead is limited to our credibility This is something important to know If we are are to keep our ability to grow
Called to lead in our capacity Called to display this sensibility Integrity is the all of our everything Competent to teach or less than nothing
Courage is needed in our seasons To apply in our lives in its full reason Competent in our compassion and empathy It stretches beyond inspired sympathy
Instead taking commitment, dedicated to inspire And to lead by example that will never tire As fathers, it is we who much lead But it is for all to live in purpose and deed
As a church, we join together as we pray And ensure our deeds match what we say As ambassadors to what it is that Heaven sends Like missionaries of love, family, and as friends
Bringing heaven to earth takes credibility There are things to be done to best of ability By living our faith and doing our very best We live prepared for life's every test
In Galatians, we turn again to our very roots To see how each lesson teaches and contributes In facing all obstacles that come our way And then disappear before the Lord as we live every day
There are no second rate apostles, the Bible teaches The lessons needed and remaining within our reaches There is no reason to hold ourselves back God will provide the words that we might lack
Turning our eyes toward the Lord's good ways Committed to read the good book applied in in our days These things will help us to learn and understand And then do these things our God commands
