There is a lot of conversation taking place these days about how bad things are in the USA. Anytime we place a majority of our focus on what we don’t like things can look bleak. This picture shows the Jefferson Memorial and Reflecting Pool in Washington DC. I marvel at how different the memorial appears based on the position of the sun and the density of the cloud cover on any given day. Jefferson was a man committed to change. He did not want change for the sake of change, he wanted change only if it was a change for the better! As we move toward Election Day conversation will surely continue about what is not liked about things in our nation. I ask for some conversation that also highlights what is great about the USA. Surely part of that greatness is our past and the lessons we can learn from it.
