A More Perfect Union

When we remember the heroic men and women who were responsible for the founding of this great country, we sometimes forget the many sacrifices they made.

George Washington, the father of our country, wanted nothing more than to retire with his dear Martha to their beloved Mount Vernon after winning the war with Britain. Yet he set aside his desires and answered the call of his country.

Benjamin Franklin who was elderly and ill, often needed assistance to attend the Constitutional Convention, but he sacrificed comfort and convenience, and his wisdom was vital in shaping "a more perfect union."


James Madison, often called the "Father of the Constitution," was a wealthy plantation owner, but his estate was poorly managed in his absence and he worried continually about financial matters. 

Yet Madison, like so many others, paid the price to be true.  He studied and prepared himself to do the immense work that was part of being one of the primary architects of the Constitution, and his diligent and determined efforts continue to bless our lives today.

The video below, "A More Perfect Union," is a powerful portrayal of the events surrounding the birth of the United States Constitution. Beginning with James Madison studying and writing at his desk, this inspiring movie follows Madison as he shepherds the creation and ratification of the Constitution. 

Please watch "A More Perfect Union" and reflect on how you can help preserve the Constitution, then share it with your family and friends. We live at a time when the Constitution is hanging by a thread. We need to be as diligent and courageous in restoring it as our Founding Fathers were in its creation, so we can share the great legacy of liberty with the generations who will follow us.

I enjoyed watching though I can't say that I wasn't stressed at times waiting for it all to come together or I should say waiting for our forefathers to all come together .
After watching it has come to me that America great division is not as much about color or party as it is about the peoples hearts that has divided us because we have forsaken the author and finisher of America's foundation and that is Christ the Lord..
It seems to me based on those elected that most who vote today are leaning far toward one being as an atheist knowing that one will basically vote for the one whose character reflects that of their own and this sadden me for unless we turn back to God for which this nation was founded and that was for His glory we as a people and nation are doomed to fall having no stable foundation - God was the foundation and when the people remove God then what foundation have we to rest on ? NONE!

Amen, Janet! Your comment reminds me of something John Adams said:

“Statesmen, my dear Sir, may plan and speculate for liberty, but it is religion and morality alone, which can establish the principles upon which freedom can securely stand. The only foundation of a free Constitution, is pure virtue, and if this cannot be inspired into our people, in a greater measure, than they have it now, they may change their rulers, and the forms of government, but they will not obtain a lasting liberty.”
