I am having a difficult time describing how I feel right now about this time of year. Memorial day is coming in 6 days, and then July 4th is not far away.
I am not a conspiracy guy, and I don’t hate the government per sey, but IT has always caused a lot of doubt and fear among the people of this great Country and it’s because of its abuse of the power that we have allowed it to have.
Republican or democrat makes no difference, the power has been abused in some form or fashion. I fear that it is too late to change some of the policies of our past Presidents, so we must live with them and do our best to flourish despite them. I would love to say that someone is going to stand up and change the way we function, but I really don’t think it’s going to happen. I haven’t seen anyone surface that can do it. IMHO.
However, while our great land may not be as free as it once was, we still have the most free land in the World. I have the ability to live in a MotorHome and do business from anywhere I please. I can decide to wake up at the beach, or the mountains, or the desert! Whatever I want. Thats a life of freedom that is only available in America. We have the freedom to go to church and worship the one and only true God every week without much disruption, so far anyway, but where else do you have this freedom?
You can probably tell that I am really struggling right now when it comes to the freedom we have, because I think its deteriorating quickly. But the thing we must remember despite the issues we have, brave men and women have died to protect that freedom from outside aggression. We must never forget them, and we must never let their deaths be for nothing!!
My family gave me a Flag to proudly display on the back of my MotorHome this last weekend for my Birthday. I have always wanted one. I love our Flag, and I love our great Country and I am proud to dipslay it 22′ in the air!!
Please join me by displaying your patriotism this year like never before. Let everyone who serves know that you appreciate them and respect them for their service and please join me in praying for this great Nation, because without God, we have nothing, and if we turn our backs on Him, we can kiss our freedom goodbye.
Hi John, I share many of your feelings and concerns. DC does not deserve the great patriots in our military. I am sure thankful that our military is there to protect us. May God bless each military family in a special way this w/e and year.
Preach it John! Many of the thoughts that rumble round in my mind were just released by those few sentences. Proudly pay homage to those that fought and died…proudly respect the flag ….and proudly pray to God, the one who watches over us all.
