The Coming American by Sam Walter Foss

  Bring me men to match my mountains;

    Bring me men to match my plains, —

    Men with empires in their purpose,

    And new eras in their brains.

    Bring me men to match my praries,

    Men to match my inland seas,

    Men whose thought shall pave a highway

    Up to ampler destinies;

    Pioneers to clear Thought's marshlands,

    And to cleanse old Error's fen;

    Bring me men to match my mountains —

    Bring me men!

    Bring me men to match my forests,

    Strong to fight the storm and blast,

    Branching toward the skyey future,

    Rooted in the fertile past.

    Bring me men to match my valleys,

    Tolerant of sun and snow,

    Men within whose fruitful purpose

    Time's consummate blooms shall grow.

    Men to tame the tigerish instincts

    Of the lair and cave and den,

    Cleans the dragon slime of Nature —

    Bring me men!

    Bring me men to match my rivers,

    Continent cleavers, flowing free,

    Drawn by the eternal madness

    To be mingled with the sea;

    Men of oceanic impulse,

    Men whose moral currents sweep

    Toward the wide-enfolding ocean

    Of an undiscovered deep;

    Men who feel the strong pulsation

    Of the Central Sea, and then

    Time their currents to its earth throb —

    Bring me men!

Courage is the Ultimate Virtue - Remembering Charlie Kirk

Courage is the ultimate virtue: without it there are no other virtues. Courage is committing yourself to the correct course of action, regardless of the cost associated to it.

Charlie Kirk...Gone too soon

 We are devastated; Charlie was a beloved role model in our home. To live is Christ, to die is gain. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will raise and bring again those who sleep in Jesus. I Thessalonians 4:14. Today we sorrow, but in hope and in Jesus.
