On this father's day, I would like to honor our founding fathers, those that lived for a dream bigger than themselves. Facing insurmountable odds against the world's most powerful military power, they crafted a message of hope and freedom unlike anything the world had ever seen, and sacrificed everything to bring it to pass. They believed in God, and that He could do the impossible, that He would help them form a Republic that would honor God and be a beacon of freedom for the world. Messages of hope for the future, of a dream for what the future may look like, bring people together and build unity. Pessimism and condemnation under the guise of intellectual superiority bring strife and division. Let us strive to be a people that lift up and encourage each other with messages of hope as we work towards our common goal of restoring the Republic that our founding father's envisioned. There is no place to run if we fail, there is no other refuge. Let us give everything in us to restore our Republic, or die trying. Just as our founding fathers before us did. Happy founding fathers day.
