"As for me and my household, we will serve the LORD" Joshua 24:15

"All great change in America begins at the dinner table."

Ronald Reagan

The picture above was taken by the owner of "Skyline Burrito Bowls" in Lufkin, Texas. It's just a group of Lufkin firefighters saying a prayer before their meal. One of them is my oldest son Triston. If, like me, you sometimes wonder what ever happened to old fashioned American values; they're alive and well in East Texas. In the first 13 hours that the picture was posted on Facebook, it had over 11,000 likes and 200 shares. Last week, I was touched by the public response to the cheerleader of Kountze High School, which is also in East Texas. These girls are standing up to athiests and courts, who want to ban them from creating banners with bible verses written on them, for their football players to run through before games. In just a couple of weeks, their Facebook group has over 43,000 members. It's not just a Texas thing either; the support for these young people is coming from all over the country. We really are a "Silent Majority"! I guess every generation, as it ages, complains about how the new generation "just doesn't get it". We need to stop that, this generation get's it. Sure, the ones we notice most often are the ones with multiple body piercings or the idiots of the occupy movement. But, walking the walk below the radar, are firefighters, cheerleaders, and people like Lila Rose, who founded the pro-life organization Live Action, when she was 15, or the teenage Chic-Fil-A drive through worker, who smiled and politely offered a jackass customer water, as he spewed hate at her for the views of her company CEO. This young generation of Americans didn't elect leaders that put us $16 trillion in debt, we did that. They didn't allow their government to take religion out of public schools. This generation is not the problem, but they may be the solution. As for our generation; Ronald Reagan once said "All great change in America begins at the dinner table.", evidently, we've been doing something right around our dinner tables.
