March President's Message: "What Happened, The World Turned Upside Down?"

My wife said to me a few years ago, once the kids left the house, “What happened? We woke up one day and the world turned upside down?”

I have to say, my response was truly an eye-opener. You see, I told her that what truly happened was we got so busy raising our two sons, with obligations in my office, and other family matters, that we lost track of what was going on, or better yet, we tried to keep abreast of the nefarious changes that we saw occurring, but we did nothing about it. We didn’t engage!!!

This brings me to what we see today more and more. People see what is going on and complain a lot about it, yet do nothing other than simply complain, and therefore, nothing gets done to effectively fight against what they see.

More than once, I have contemplated why this occurs. And I typically come to the same conclusion. People just become too darn busy. They are busy running the kids to sporting events (even on Sunday morning), shopping for the latest thing that we need, or worse yet engaging in wasting our time, energy, and hard-earned cash on lottery tickets or perhaps online sports betting that takes up our time. Watching sporting events on TV is another big distraction for many.

But did we ever consider that perhaps these distractions may have been placed before us intentionally? Now, before I am labeled as the proverbial “conspiracy theorist,” consider a thought that might bring a few things into perspective. Have you ever considered that during Caesar’s reign in the Roman Empire, he had the Colosseum constructed? He then orchestrated the performances of the gladiators as a form of distraction for the Roman citizens, perhaps with the intention of distracting them from the other events and changes that were occurring during his reign. In that way, he was able to do many of these things right under their eyes.

You see, the masses were distracted by the fun of watching the “teams” performing in the events which could last for weeks at a time. They also received bread which would be generously handed out to the spectators to keep them comfortably oblivious to the actions of their dictator, which again were occurring right under their noses.

Perhaps we are all guilty of the same lack of attention to the important things that have been occurring right before our eyes for decades, and perhaps even generations. The corollary here is that in much the same way we have become too busy chasing after the American dream while that dream was being gradually and progressively taken away from us.

We also had barriers taken down in order to allow many of our citizens to acquire some of the “trappings of success” more readily available to even those who can’t afford them. The buy-now-pay-later mentality that allowed us to acquire the shiny object while falling deeper and deeper into a debt hole that became insurmountable. Virtually creating more need to work longer hours of overtime or to take on a second job merely in order to keep the bill collectors off the front doorstep.

Unfortunately, our congressional bureaucrats have done the same thing with our national debt. Creating a situation where approximately 66% of our taxes go to pay just the interest on our $34 trillion 596 billion dollar national debt!!!

So, that brings us to the question that we all must answer; “What do we do about it?”

Well, first of all, we must be aware. We must be informed citizens! We must get our house in order. Proverbs 13:16 tells us that a wise man uses knowledge in planning ahead. We also are told in Luke 14:28 that we should do our best to estimate costs before jumping into something to assure that we can pay for it.

We must all work to get our houses in order and spend our time on those things that matter regarding the future of our families and our country.

Our Republic is in trouble. STN is working hard to change the course of what we see occurring right before our eyes. We are doing this by engaging in the fight. And just what does that mean you might ask? We are working to educate and inform our membership, and our community, far beyond our geographic boundaries, about not just what is occurring, but what can be done about it.

You see, by uniting in the fight we can synergistically magnify the effects of our efforts. We can make a change. We have exemplified this with what we have been able to accomplish with our local school board. And we continue to support not only these individuals but others in their efforts to move the needle in a commonsense direction as well. We are doing this now on a national level with the candidate that we are supporting for a congressional seat. We are also doing this by unifying against Second Amendment stifling efforts on a state and national level.

For those of you who haven’t visited our website recently or followed us on our social media channels, please do so. We are planning more information sharing and educational programs this year. Watch for upcoming videos from us on a variety of topics that will engage you further with action steps to turn the needle back towards that commonsense mentality not only fiscally but also socially and spiritually.

Thank you for being a part of the fight.
Dr. Pfeiffer
