Day One

Day one. I remember how day one was a defining argument during the primary campaign.
Day one: a call to personal action.
Day One: A call to personal sacrifice.
Day One: A call to responsibility.
Day One: A call to each of us.
Jesus calls each of us to sacrifice, responsibility and action. America has always called us to responsibility and action. Just like with Jesus, lip service is easy, but not too effective. In the same way as the call to live our faith, we must answer the call to be a responsible, active citizen of our country by the way we live our citizenship. When I grew up "citizenship" was a class in my school. It would be a good time to bring it back and mandate its teaching. We will not prosper by being a nation of takers, we will prosper to the same degree as we help each other to prosper.
Day One is today, and everyday.
