I had to work today and was quite pleased to know that the
Glenn Beck 8/28 Restoring Honor Rally would be covered by my local
news radio station. I would have loved to have been there in person, but just couldn't work things out to attend. I will admit to being a fan of Glenn Beck and therefore predisposed to liking this event. However, I don't see where anyone could truly find fault in an event that disregarded political views and focused on rebuilding
America from the ground up. Starting with faith, so many people forget that this country was built on faith. It doesn't matter what your
religion is, no one really cares about that, what matters is that you
believe in a
higher power, in the people around you, and in yourself. Through faith, all things are possible, isn't that the old saying. Doesn't it still hold true today.
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the many speakers at the Restoring Honor Event and was so pleased to see the massive crowd that was there. I was also very pleased that the Special Operations Warriors Fund, (SOWF), received a $5 million check from the contributors to the event. Mr. Beck said from the very beginning that SOWF would not be out a single penny for their involvement with the event. In point of fact Beck has said for over a month on his radio
program that the event was completely paid for and all monies were going directly to SOWF. The speakers at the event also waived their speaking fees in support of this wonderful charity. There have been several days on Mr. Beck's radio program where he speaks of receiving donations in the mail in support of the event and SOWF. There was one donation in particular that he spoke of where the sender wrote that they had gathered everything that they had and wanted to help even thought it wasn't much. They sent 8 cents. Much of the money that was donated came in $10 at a time from individuals like you and I.
All I can really say about this is thank
God that there are people out there who still have faith and believe and are willing to be open about their faith. America at it's founding was a based on faith and we must return to that foundation to begin to bring our country back from the brink of it's own destruction. Agree with me or don't, I don't really care. I know what I believe in and that is all that matters to me.
