This year our nation celebrates 250 years!
Congratulations to America and to all who made her great.
While I celebrate and appreciate living in the greatest country in the world, while I celebrate living in the richest country in the history of the world, I do have some concerns.
I grieve what our great grandfathers did to the Indians. I grieve that our great grandfathers enslaved African people. I grieve that in both cases, we considered these "other people" as less than... not really quite human.
Now that I have that off of my chest, May we enjoy some burgers and baked beans today.
And remember... we are citizens first of God's kingdom. And although our ancestors did not always show fairness or kindness, we can.
We can. We can choose to show love. We can choose to treat others well. And the better we get at doing that, the brighter our future will be.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to be the good.
