I woke up today and immediately thought of the Pledge... specifically "and to the Republic for which it stands"... nothing else, absolute truth. I woke up with that thought alone. Of course all of the words matter and together have more meaning. But "and to the Republic for which it stands".... I suppose it stands out because while "one nation, under God" goes without saying? I suppose today I wrestle with the fact that the republic is the part that was tossed aside first and the rest followed? Is restoring the republic the key to resorting the rest, will the rest follow? I certainly hope so. And so you know, this is no way a challenge, I am just sharing my waking thought wondering how we actually get there coupled with the first thing I read today was your comment. I'm a big believer in "you can't continue to do the same thing and expect a different result"... it goes something like that. But we somehow continue to pay taxes to the corporation but expect a different result? I'm not sure the meaning but can certainly see the Corp moving towards a possible stoppage of such acts with the installation of 87k armed tax agents... I digress...
So this is a good place to tell you about my workout regimen, stay with me here. I'm older than most people here, but in my youth served in the USMC. That got me started on a life-long physical fitness quest that hasn't stopped to this day. I hit the gym 5 days a week, row 8 miles a week, and pump iron for about 90 minutes 5 days a week.
I treat my workouts almost like a prayer, keeping focused in my "zone" and mindful of gratitude and remaining faithful to my code. And whether I am doing 50, or 80, or 100 reps (depending on which muscle groups I'm working), I always add four more, prayerfully, in this order:
1 for the Great Awakening and to spread it
1 for the Constitution & Bill of Rights
1 for the Second American Revolution, however God dictates it to occur
