In God We Trust

During the course of a year we hear comments about American Exceptionalism

. Now usually this is referenced to a general consensus that the United States of America should play an uncommon role in World affairs. Some say America has the role of worldwide policeman. Of course not everyone agrees that we should be extraordinary, however, the premise is that America is an exceptional country.

But today I want to talk about what makes America truly unique.

First, we are the only country founded under God. Our founding fathers were Christians for the most part and held deep beliefs that Government derives its right to rule from God alone. That is a truly special foundation not found in any other nation.

Second, the motto of our country is "In God We Trust." We used to see it everywhere and it is still on our money. There is a move to remove this motto wherever it is found but we must fight against that for sure.

Third, and most important, God made this country special. We have the best farm land in the world. California feeds the world from the San Joaquin and Central Valleys. I lived there for 4 years and saw millions of acres of grapes, fruits and vegetables. The Central plains are the breadbasket of the world. Arkansas is the number one rice producer in this continent. When I was at the University of Arkansas studying Chemical Engineering I learned that America has more oil under the ground than the rest of the world combined. Three of our states Colorado, Utah and Wyoming have a 200 year supply. The list goes on and on. We have all the natural resources we will ever need, oil, natural gas, coal, minerals and cropland. Arkansas even has a diamond mine and silver mine. Gold is panned in lots of our rivers. Folks, God did that for this country for us to lead the world. We do not need the rest of the world to survive; the rest of the world needs us!

And the best place to live is right here in Conway County, where we respect freedom of religion and our other rights. Where else do the Christian leaders come together and pray for a common cause like we did in 1999 and 2000 for economic relief and God gave us natural gas and other job creators?

Where else does a Baptist minister quote Saint Teresa of Avila in his column in the local paper and a Catholic Brother quotes a Baptist minister in his column?

God made America exceptional and Arkansas most special. Thank God for America.
