As a person it is easy to get discouraged by the conflicts we have in our government by people whom we have elected. I see constant conflict occurring around us in regard to how government is acting, taxing, wasting funds, and operating in general. It is easy to get discouraged; just throw your hands in the air and give up. “That is just how it is”; “there is nothing we can do.” Yes there is.
Last night my wife and I needed a night together. I will admit, I do not like to spend money — but thankfully my wife still loves me. We borrowed a movie, named KJB, and had a night in together; just the two of us. It was a great evening and the movie was a true blessing. The entire movie was about unity; about taking people that despise each other and having them create a solution to a basic human need. These men lived over 400 years ago and still today we have intellectuals who have different opinions over the same topics.
The Lord gave us free will, and our nation’s laws have allowed us all to have an opinion. For this reason, I am not discouraged. Our forefathers used the word of God to craft a document that created this nation, and this nation allows different opinions. Conflict is a tool that, if used in a positive way, can generate constructive change.
As the President of the City of Georgetown Republican Party and a candidate for South Carolina House Seat 103, I have made a commitment to create this change. We, as a people, must do more. We must step forward and file for office. We must become active in candidates’ campaigns. Many candidates need your help. It is not just about contributions, but also about volunteering. Stand up and say that you want change, but also be willing to work for it.
I help every candidate I can. They may or may not be who I would vote for, but their willingness to stand up for what they believe is admirable. The other day I appeared in a commercial for a U.S. Congressional Candidate. We must respect and support those that do not cower from conflict.
400 years ago, King James of England, charged fifty of the Bishops from the Church of England and the Puritans with the task of uniting to create a document that could be used by all to learn the Gospel for themselves. After seven years of transcription, debate, discussion, and conflict, out came the King James Bible (hence the name KJB). The conflict and disagreement created a Bible that is still used all over the Earth today to spread the Word of God. We must use the conflict that exist as a catalyst to push forward this great country and state.
