On the eve of the Presidential Election in 1964, Ronald Reagan addressed the nation and shared what he thought made America great.

“The greatness of America doesn’t begin in Washington; it begins with each of you — in the mighty spirit of free people under God, in the bedrock values you live by each day in your families, neighborhoods, and workplaces.”Ronald Reagan, 1964

These words weren’t just campaign pronouncements. They were an expression of Reagan’s understanding of why America was a great nation.

We don’t hear such thoughts made by most of our politicians today.

We should ask ourselves if we are still a free people under God.

And we should consider what bedrock values we are living by today?

Being the official ambulance driver for the 3/82 Artillery, I was responsible for maintaining the vehicle and making sure it was in working order.

In a world flooded with half-truths and political spin, are we settling for what just sounds right instead of what is right?

Featuring a sobering quote from George Whitefield and a look back at 2020’s “mostly peaceful protests,” this piece is a challenge to seek truth—not a version of it that’s convenient, but the real thing.

The young Vietnamese woman lay on the treatment table in our small clinic in DaNang. I studied her bleeding foot, surgical needle in hand, my heart pounding.

Let’s admit it: we all follow rules.

It might be an organization we work for.

I remember when I was in the Army, they told me when I would get up, when I would take a shower, how I would make my bed, when I would eat, when I would go to bed, when I would get a haircut and how that haircut would look, just to name a few of the rules.

They had rules for just about everything, and those rules better be obeyed or else.

Now after I left the Army, that wasn’t the end of rules in my life.
