What were you doing 56 years ago today?
Back then, it was a -19-degree day in January and the day John F. Kennedy was inaugurated President of these United States. He gave a clarion call:
“Ask not what your country can do for you--ask what you can do for your country.”
Powerful words, and necessary, if we were to move forward as a nation and change the course of history under his leadership.
It was a special day for me because it was the day of my birth. I remember none of the happenings of the day (obviously) but I've always liked that I was born on the day J.F.K. was sworn into office.
As we stand on the threshold of a new day for America, I reiterate the message of Kennedy to you as a firefighter in Corinth and a citizen of the greatest nation on earth:
“Ask not what your country can do for you--ask what you can do for your country.”
Once you ask the question, whatever answer you get back, will you ask God to help you and then just go and do it? Then we really can "Make American Great Again!".
Carpe Diem!
