On the third Monday in February
We take time to show our gratitude
To those that have held the office of President
With values, vision, and aptitude.
Our Presidents have led the country
Through wars, poverty, and strife
Our Presidents have shown great strength
While protecting our American way of life.
From 1789 until the present time
The role of the President has been rough
However, we're grateful to the leaders that have
continued to make our country tough.
So on Presidents' Day we celebrate our leaders
Those who've protected, guided, and been true
To the ideals of our great nation
That show love for our Red, White, and Blue!

"You do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked."
(Revelation 3:17)
One of my favorite stories is about a Texas rancher who was doing
agricultural consulting for a farmer in Germany. He asked the German farmer
about the size of his property, to which he replied, "About a mile square."
When the German asked the Texan about the size of his ranch, the rancher
explained that if he got in his pick-up truck at dawn and drove till sunset
he would still be on his ranch. Not to be outdone, the farmer replied,
"I used to have an old truck just like that!"
All joking aside, it's important to have the right perspective.
Unfortunately, the Christians in Laodicea had the wrong perspective about
wealth (Revelation 3:14-22). By all appearances, they were rich. They had
plenty of earthly goods and thought they needed nothing--not even Jesus.
But Jesus had a different perspective.
In spite of their material prosperity, He saw that they were "wretched,
miserable, poor, blind, and naked." So He invited them to become truly
rich by seeking what only He could provide: purity, character,
righteousness, and wisdom.
Let's not make the Laodicean mistake. Instead, let's keep our perspective
right about what it means to be rich. True wealth is not measured by
what you have but by who you are in Christ.

Does history, especially bad human history, tend to repeat itself?
A thought-provoking educational film released on January 15, 1943
by Walt Disney Productions, this animated short is based on the non-fiction
bestseller, "Education For Death" by American writer and educator
Gregor Ziemer. He and his family lived in Germany from 1928
to 1939, where he served as the headmaster of the American
School in Berlin, and, where he witnessed first hand the meteoric
rise of Adolf Hitler's Third Reich, before fleeing the nation and
returning to the safety of America, where he lived in his wife
Edna's hometown of Lake City, Minnesota.
During the Nuremberg Trials, an affidavit by Ziemer, which was said to
be an excerpt from one of his books, was presented to the prosecutors to
better understand Nazi society in general and in particular, the education
of children during the time-changing innocent and inquiring minds into
Nazi drones, devoid of laughter, hope, tolerance or mercy.
Is a similar situation evolving in America today with the infiltration
of Woke ideology within the public school system? Although the
times and circumstances may be different, the indoctrination of
vulnerable children is an alarming reality within our nation today.
