Choice and Accountability

Families grow stronger when parents teach the fact that there is accountability for every choice. We all have agency and freedom to do many things. We can choose what we want to do without any problem in many instances, but we must also understand that we cannot choose the consequences for those choices.

President Calvin Coolidge (1873-1933) said, "We demand entire freedom of action and then expect the government in some miraculous way to save us from the consequences of our own acts…. Self-government means self-reliance."

Our Constitution was written for a religious and moral people. People who expect the government to always be there to bail them out of trouble are dead weights on our system. We can strengthen our nation by making right choices in order to receive the consequences that we desire.
