			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>I read this great article that my friend Brianna&#8217;s husband linked to on his blog, entitled, <a href="http://www.christianethicstoday.com/Issue/031/The%20Problem%20of%20Ethics%20By%20Charles%20W%20Colson_031_6_.htm" target="_blank">The Problem with Ethics</a>. </p>
<p>It was very inspiring, reminding me of the importance of having Faith and how it is through faith man is able to overcome his innate weaknesses.  It talked a lot about the importance of faith for a society, how a lot of the problems we have today come from the people&#8217;s lack of faith.</p>
<p>So what can I do?  I guess I need to be more willing to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with those around me.  Part of the problem is most of my friends already have faith.  (Not that that is a &#8220;problem&#8221; but I just don&#8217;t have lots of friends to share it with)  Though I can be a good friend and support them in their faith. </p>
<p>I have a friend, Jen, who was actually one of my Mission companions in France,  who <a href="http://jensflowers.blogspot.com" target="_blank">blogs about her faith.  </a>That is such a great idea.  I should do that too.  <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Another thing I can do is raise my boys in faith and encourage them to be leaders in their community!  We need faithful leaders who have a strong moral compass to help guide the country.    I like the ideas in Thomas Jefferson Education about being leaders. </p>
<p>Random thoughts, read the article mentioned first, very inspirational and much better put then what I am saying.</p>
