AS YOU PRAY ~ LISTEN Holy Spirit Rain | Two hours of Relaxing Music, Rain Sounds and Stress Relief Recorded and performed by Dan Musselman. I pray this moment of piano worship brings some peace, hope and rest to your day. May the Holy Spirit guide your thoughts, and may you experience a peace that surpasses all understanding.

OUR NATIONAL SELF-TALK Written by – An Ordinary Citizen You know about negative self-talk, right? It’s that little inner critic that says you cannot do something, that other people hate you, that you are a victim. Well surprise! It’s not just your problem, it’s our problem. We Americans have a kind of negative national self-talk. A constant pervasive gray cloud that tells us we’re doomed. It’s anxiety producing, overwhelmingly toxic. And it’s tearing this country apart. The good news is, it’s fixable. To consider the fixing, let’s take a look at where we’ve been, where we are now, and -- most important -- what we can do about it. Where Did We Start? From its inception, this little upstart of a country had a can-do philosophy. We had no choice. Because there was no other way to survive, we claimed a space, hung on, dug in, busted our backs and our butts. Often 2 steps forward and one step back…but always inching forward. With grit and vision the pioneers successfully established themselves on this continent. They were successful because they believed they would be. That belief in ultimate success (often following multiple failures) became something of a national persona. This belief was so ingrained that during World Wars I and II, we told our allies “The Yanks are coming.” In essence, our troops were the cavalry, and we were in it, to win it.

Equality of outcome was never considered because if all outcomes were equal then no one of us was unique and any success we achieved would be very limited. Who wants to settle for that? Where Are We Now? Contrast the country we started out to be with what we see now. Though it had its flaws and challenges, America in the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries was a land of
