July 4, 2009

If we spent half the time we spend complaining about our leadership, in prayer for them, perhaps the threats we endure, both real and imagined, would be less threat than blessing.

May this Fourth of July give us pause to reflect on how God has blessed this nation despite its flaws of character. Let us give thanks for the brave and noble soldier and sailor who alone, are responsible for our freedoms of worship, speech, movement and the pursuit of happiness and peace.

God grant us humility and strength of purpose.
