Waiting for a miracle.

A crippled man went into a catholic church determined to regain full use of his legs. He went to the holy water and splashed it on his legs and threw off his crutches. An alter boy, who had seen the whole thing rushed off to find the priest to tell him what had happened. When he found the priest he recounted what he had witnessed and the priest exclaimed "My son, you have witnessed a miracle, where is the man now?" to which the alter boy replied "He is lying on the ground next to the holy water"
In man instances some of us are looking for some miracle. We oftentimes look to the government to solve our problems, and when they don't come to the rescue we criticize and complain. We are not helpless and we do not need "big brother" to solve all of our problems. What would our country be like today if the original framers of the constitution believed that the government should step in and legislate a solution to every problem that our country encountered? The United States of America is strong, not because the government is strong, but because it's citizens are hard-working and intellectual. When we get away from the values that set us apart we will get away from the source of our countries greatness.
