Independence Day

I posted this on Facebook but thought of sharing it on my blog too.

Fun times with family, enjoying perfect weather on the coast for the 4th! I am mindful of the important Liberties in our country’s great heritage. From earliest days, before the nation even formed, settlers came to American soil seeking opportunity, safety and freedom. Of late, First Amendment freedoms may be eroding. From Covid shutdowns, cancel culture and hate crime legislation, rights of free speech, press and assembly are in question. I hope the Independence joyfully celebrated by so many Americans last weekend will “yet wave.” (Yes, that’s an Australian flag flying off my brother-in-law’s boat, but the US flag proudly waves on the port side!)  Colossians 1:16-17
