Incentive

Uncategorized 1 Minute

“Fifty or sixty years ago, what do you think were the most important things to Americans?

1.) Faith

2.) Family

3.) Freedom

4.) Community

5.) Less Government.

Don’t believe me?

Think about WW II.

You had boys–children —- LYING ABOUT THEIR AGE TO ENLIST, KNOWING THEY HAD A GOOD CHANCE OF DYING.

Their main motivation to join the military—their incentive to join—was to fight for their country. That’s it! The money was garbage!

Graham Allen

Dear America p. 16–17

October 14, 2021 This all still applies, but I changed my title from "I Wish "I" Had Said That" to "Lonnie Reads." I may, soon, need to shrink my library. So I am reviewing books and saving quotes. Quotes --- No Commentary. Though I'd enjoy YOUR thoughts if you happen to stop by. Was Me. Is Me. Will Forever Be Me. I love to learn, but can't keep it to myself. I am a writer, though, so I know how many edits, rewrites---and hours it takes to grab a reader's attention, and then to keep it. I will always give credit where credit is due and THEN I hope you will double my joy by visiting a library or book source and reading (or listening) to the book yourself. A practice I've taken up recently is this: After reading a book, with pencil, I go back to read and pray through what I've underlined. It's been an incredible experience. If a quote I share strikes a chord of your heart, I'd love it if you would test-drive my beloved habit. EverReading--EverGrowing, Lonnie
