You can make a difference

| January 28, 2016 12:45 PM

We seem to be at a point where many people feel that our country is going in wrong directions. From the economy to civil unrest to world affairs to Islamic terrorism to a national debt of almost $19 trillion (check it out at US Debt Clock: real time); all seems to be in disarray and confusion. As individual people, many of us feel hopeless; that what we say or care about or advocate are thrown aside by too many politicians. It seems, too, that even when we elect those we believe will do better that nothing seems to change. Instead, the debt continues to mount (check it out for yourself), civil unrest is on the rise (Ferguson, Missouri, Baltimore, Maryland, New York, Chicago), and Islamic terrorism is on-the-rise around the world and even here in our own country. So, what is one to do? How can I make a difference? It is easy to give up, throw up our hands and descend into the realm of despair.
