America and those within are truly blinded.
Materialists denying materialisms.
I must end my time here soon. When I decided to stay, I decided intentionally. To gain what materialistic matter there is to gain, to see what greatness there is supposed to be. And only come to realize now, that I am nothing. It is done.
Could the days of this continent be numbered? Could President Washington's vision come to be? If so, I'd be damned for realizing this and still be here while better matters await me elsewhere.
This quotes the words of Abraham Lincoln, the greatest President of the United States of America, appointing Thursday, 30th of April, 1863, as a National Fast Day:
"We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven. We have been preserved, these many years, in peace and prosperity. We have grown in numbers, wealth and power, as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace, and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us; and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us!
It behooves us then, to humble ourselves before the offended Power, to confess our national sins, and to pray for clemency and forgiveness."

Am I really Jonah?
Oh, how could I follow a fallen path? No.
Jonah was great in sharing his failure, I must melt my hatred for men with love. However, I must not replace my hatred for sins with comforts.
