My dad was one of 32,000 Australians who served under General Douglas MacArthur in WW2's last major battle on the coast of Balikpapan in 1945.
I feel in me from my father a faith that the innate systemic goodness of most human beings can defeat the evil which sometimes corrupts this world.
After fleeing the Phillipines, General MacArthur took the essential human yearnings for discipline and peace and channeled them for victories from this date, March 20 in 1942 (when he was recorded making his iconic “I shall return.” promise in Aussie outback trainstop town Terowie) till Japanese imperialism was decisively destroyed.
MacArthur once said, “There is no security on this earth. Only opportunity.”
God Bless Good Clean Thought.
God Bless Freedom.

Hope and Pray
“Hope and Pray”
Hope is not a method.
Pray for the sustainment of endurance for the labor required to bring about a successful end.
“There is no one righteous, not even one;
there is no one who understands;
there is no one who seeks God.
All have turned away,
they have together become worthless;
there is no one who does good,
not even one.”
