Our country is in such turmoil, such anger. This last Independence Day I was reminded of what it took to make this country a new nation. What it meant to break from the English rule and how much they were up against. The fact that those men of congress 235 years ago all agreed to commit treason for ideals, and they all lost so much because of it, leaves me in awe of just what it was that happened "back then".
There are those who totally misunderstand the concept of separation of church and state and are trying to omit God from all we hold dear, including our schools. Yet we would NEVER be where we are today, a strong respected country if it weren't for the blessings of Almighty God, whoever that is for you. If you don't believe in a higher power, that's your right, but the majority of us do, and that's how we rule, so leave it alone. If you don't want to learn the English language and follow the rules that this country has sacrificed much to establish, than change YOUR country as we did ours.
To be born an American has to be one of the first and foremost blessings I have been graced with. Second only to parents of strong faith in Our Lord, Jesus Christ, and God. They go together. Living here allowed that faith, that freedom of faith. God, continue to bless us in the years ahead. Thank you for the men, (and their families) who gave up so much to break from the oppression of England and all those who came after to maintain our freedoms and continue to expand those freedoms to all. Don't let the misguided and the downright evil change that.
