Words of Powerful Tools For American Freedom – August 2021

---

Inspiration comes from many places.  I’m often inspired by my family and friends.  I have, from my earliest years, been inspired by the stories of great Americans of history.  I am inspired by the Scriptures – often in quite unexpected ways.

I am often inspired by music.

Kenny Loggins and Michael McDonald are two of my favorite singer/songwriters.  Together, and in their solo careers, they have produced some exceptional music.  “I Gotta Try” is a song they wrote that I believe speaks to the world we find ourselves facing today.  There is much to disappoint us – there always is.  Our “public servants” believe it is the public that is to serve them.  Many people bemoan, “This is not the America I grew up in.”  That’s certainly true.  So, we each have a choice to make.  Give up or dig in.  Kenny and Michael said it for me:

“Some see the road as clear

Some say the end is here

They say it’s a hopeless fight, but I say I gotta try”

If we don’t give up and we don’t give in, we may still win this fight.  And like all real Americans – I like a good fight.  I gotta try.

God bless all of you and God bless America.

Please allow us to serve you and those you love.

Thank you,

Gene

P.S.  What music inspires you?
