Hard to believe this happened thirty-six years ago. Even harder to imagine how much America has divided in the time since. It makes a person cynical to watch this and realize how much has gone the wrong way in the time since the Miracle on Ice. Even in the aftermath of Richard Nixon and the Iranian hostage crisis–America back in 1980 still had the ability to pull itself together and be one.
Even in the immediate aftermath of 9/11 the country pulled together. But in watching what’s going on now it’s tough to imagine the country ever becoming one again because there’s so many different factions pulling in various directions with only their own selfish interests at play. I need this to inspire me and to remind me what America is capable of when steered properly. We need to be praying for our country right now. Hoping our country can remember why it became the greatest nation in the history of mankind.
Thanks for these memories!
