I get them a date. i have almost set them all up...but then there leaves me...ops forgot to get myself a date. and to make it better i have no idea who i can even ask. or if anyone is planning on asking me...then i remember wait i was in this SAME position last year! and its makes me realize that i do this ALL THE TIME!!!! I have no probalem setting thenm up but i now makes since why i dont really even date anyone because im always finding someone last min. and it never means anything to either of us.

One Nation? Really?
Remember in elementary school and part of Jr high when we were allowed to say the pledge of allegiance? Well lets see if i can remember it
i pledge allegiance to the flag of the united states of America
and to this country for which it stands one nation under god indivisible with liberty and justice for all...wow believe it or not i had a hard time remembering that i almost stared it "We are da..." then i realized that that's the young women's theme lol. but really that's sad read the pledge again...ill wait............................oh wait i don't even have it right yet....................................................okay so they took that out of schools. And just take a second and think about what this nation now is compared to that
"I Pledge allegiance to the flag of the UNITED States of America" Wow when was the last time we were united? This election especially this country is pretty much torn in half now isn't it?
"And to this country for which it stands" How many of us will stand up for our country still i have some amazing friends that will!!! And for them i am so very very thankful!!! But with the war in Iraq more and more of the people in this country would rather run then stand which is really sad.
"One Nation" Again the election we have been More like the nation of McCain and Obama not the United States.
"UNDER GOD" Um pretty sure you all know where i am going with this. We as a country have forgotten God. When he is the only reason we are here. Honestly the whole reason why we are in the situation that we are in with our economy is because we have forgotten him. Don't believe me? President Uchtdorf said Gave an entire devotional on it when he came to UVU on the 28Th of last month. He said that it is because we have forgotten Jesus Christ that we are in this situation because we put our money and our wealth before our religion. he counseled us to be citizens of the kingdom of God and to carry that passport with us into our lives. If we put Him first we will prosper and somehow we as a nation have forgotten that and its really really sad!!
"Indivisible" yeah as i have said before our nation has never been more divided and its really sad that we have lost the fight that our for fathers had when they fought for us to be free!
"with liberty AND and justice for all" We seem to forget the and there everyone is all about everyone having equal liberty but no one cares much about the justice part. In the same devotional President Uchtdorf said "we all feel connected but no one feels responsible" he was talking about the woulds economic system but it works for this as well. We all want everyone in this country to have the same liberty's but the moment something happens like the judges in Cali making it okay for same sex marriage everyone out there just blamed them. Its not like anyone else out there putting the idea in there heads.
This election was a big one and it doesn't matter who won we all need to support them. 3 Nephi 11:29- Support and sustain your leaders, and if you find that hard to do Ether 12:4 hope for a better world. remember everything will be okay just trust in the Lord and everything will be amazing in the end.
