I worry for the future of my country. I do. The steady move toward collectivized living demotivates the
hard worker and enables the unproductive one. I believe that left unchecked, this trend will eventually wreak
havoc on our economy, and life as we know it. The relativity of our moral moorings is staggering. Christians are the only people group in our society considered acceptable to treat derisively or dismiss entirely.
These are troubling times, indeed.
But for today, for this poignant day, I choose to focus on
my blessings. I am free. I am safe. All of my needs are met. So I pledge allegiance to my country and to its founding
principles. I am grateful to be an
American. I am forever indebted to
those who paid for my freedom with hardship, censure, or death.
So fire up the grills! Head to the beach! Spend your dollars
at the fireworks stand, catch candy at the parade, and make homemade ice
cream! Today is our
day. We live in the land of the
free and the home of the brave.
God bless America…
