Happy 4th of July – 2010

I wish all a Happy 4th of July and a time for us to think about our freedom. The last verse of the National Anthem causes me to think. Are we really freemen or does our government seem to govern more of our lives? It is a war between our homes and the opposition, a government that seems to be burdening us with taxes, and more taxes around the corner. A government that is forcing us to participate health care or we will have to pay fines. We seem to live with a government that acts as if it wants to grab more control over our lives every day. About all we can to is trust in God that we will be delivered from the mess we find ourselves in. That someday we will have more freedom. Lyrics for the last verse of the National Anthem below:

O, thus be it ever when freemen shall stand,
Between their lov’d homes and the war’s desolation;
Blest with vict’ry and peace, may the heav’n-rescued land
Praise the Pow’r that hath made and preserv’d us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause is just,
And this be our motto: “In God is our trust”
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

In our home for several years we have had a Lego version of the Statue of Liberty. It has stood a a reminder every day of our freedom and liberty. May it always be a beacon of liberty.
