Sincerity

It's the American dream!  The sincerity of those who represent us in Washington was clear, everyone should be able to own their home.  Buyers were sincere in their desire to make good on their loans.  So, what went wrong?

"No amount of devotion or determination or sacrificial involvement in wrong actions will ever make them right." The Quest for Character , Charles Swindoll

There are those who say banks knew these loans would be defaulted on.  There are those who say government knew relaxing the loan restrictions would be a bad idea.  With all sincerity they did it anyway to help people obtain the American dream, but was it right?

"We who are on a quest for character must allow sincerity to be our badge of excellence throughout our days on earth." The Quest for Character , Charles Swindoll

"And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God."  Philippians 1:9-11 

"When the Son shines through and tests our lives, the absence of cracks will guarantee the presence of truth.  You cannot separate the two... no matter how sincere you may be." The Quest for Character , Charles Swindoll

We cannot change others, or the past.  Though the 'cracks' in America are glaringly bright, are they as bright in your own life?
