A Letter To The Person Who Is Curious On How To  "Make America Great Again"
God We Need You

Dear whoever it may concern,

If you are one of those people who truly loves our beautiful country with all your heart, you know that as a nation we are slowly starting to crumble. Even if you know absolutely nothing about how deep our problems go, it's pretty obvious that something's not right.

Just to name a few of the things that have been on the news: the threat of terrorism in and out of our country, nation-wide financial issues with our economy, and even who will become the next president of the United States, all weighs heavy on our minds (or at least it should be weighing heavy on our minds).

Being a God-fearing, and a politically-informed seventeen-year-old, I personally think about it at lot.

Therefore, I know our problems run so much deeper. Yes, some of our problems are the things I listed above, but here are some of the real problems: we are murdering innocent babies. We are okay with the idea of allowing thousands of refugees in this country when we don't even take proper care of our brave heroes who RISKED THEIR LIVES TO PROTECT THIS COUNTRY. Our government officials jump at the opportunity to take away our guns after a shooting *insert sarcasm here* cause I mean the gun pulls the trigger automatically, right? It's never the person behind the gun's fault. Most importantly, we are taking God out of everything when we need Him the most.

Fellow Christians, we can't keep dancing around this. It is what it is, whether you decide to accept it or not.

Please wake up before it's too late. We all have to stop looking for someone else to blame for all our issues when really it's ourselves. Why? Cause we're putting the same people in power who are trying to make to make laws that prevent us from praying in public. The people who defend other people's religions throw Christianity (the religion our country was founded on) to the dogs when someone gets offended.

As you start to decide who you'll be voting for in November, if you haven't already, whether it's on the Republican or the Democratic ticket, I pray you vote for the candidate who you, not think, but know that will protect Christianity and all the principles of it that America was founded on.

So, how do we make America really great again? We defend God because he defended us and continues to defend us, His children, every single second of the day. No one besides God can save this country, that's why we need people in government positions who we know we'll defend Him when the talk of taking him off of our money and out of the pledge.

God, we need you more than ever. Our country is turning away from you and I pray you continue to bless us, even though we are so unworthy of your blessing, with a true God-fearing leader who will put us back on track serving you as a nation.

Sincerely,

A teenager who fully still believes it's not too late for this country, to still be one nation under God.

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
