George Washington himself and his leadership is one of the great blessings God bestowed on this country.
I was just reading that in 1789 he and John Adams attended the graduation ceremony at Columbia University. Some soldiers who had survived our War for Independence were graduating and they wanted to honor them for their service to their country and for their graduation from Columbia!
Some were wounded warriors, but they had persevered and met the challenges!
I think Washington and Adams would be shocked to visit the Columbia campus today - students being coddled with canceled classes and delayed assignments and even presented with milk and cookies to help them face the "catastrophic crisis" of the "Trump election"!
What has happened to us? Columba's original statement of purpose, written in 1753, says that their goal is to "Teach students to know God in Jesus Christ." Their official motto is from Psalm 36 -- "In Your light we see light."
The "light" they are acknowledging today has certainly dimmed...Columbia today, as so many other universities, a woke hotbed of antisemitism and anti-intellectual humanism.
When and where did we go wrong and start choosing foolishness over wisdom? (From warriors to wimps?)
I'm so thankful God has not erased us from His kingdom program and is giving us another chance! An opportunity to again bring honor and glory to Him!
It's surely amazing grace!
