Happy 250th, America!

I would loved to have written a blog for America’s 250th birthday, but my circumstances through June were not ideal for writing. Instead, I will share an important quote from the podcast, “The World and Everything In It,” broadcast earlier this year on May 4, 2026:

“You cannot promote freedom and markets and enterprise without attaching it to our faith and transcendent truths.  (Those who) have a moral framework and a creational theology to explain free markets (all our freedoms really) have a chance to be a full antidote to the radicalism of May Day and (other) protests and communism (or socialism) and all of these other failed experiments, but we have to do it fully armed with the Christian worldview (as found in Scripture).” ~ David Bahnsen

Galatians 5 v 13

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
