4th of July

With the exception of one day a year, we have drifted from celebrating the wonderful freedoms we have in our country. Post 9/11 days, I have become more hesitant about traveling freely outside of our home land. The numbers of anti-American groups out there are growing consistently . I think back to the "Mayberry" days and how joyful things were . . . I even think back to my childhood and how much safer our world seemed. Recently, I read a marvelous book entitled Radical discussing the need for radical change in our Christian living. In my reading, I am reminded of how in other countries people are traveling by foot to hidden, secret houses to spend 10-12 hours JUST studying the Bible - there are no fancy buildings, music, bands, just a dirt floor and one light dangling from the ceiling.

So many times the musician singing the Star Spangled Banner tries to put their own personal spin on the song and we lose the song and the meaning of the words, I have never heard a better version of the song than this video represents . . . I hope you enjoy as much as I did! Reflect and PRAISE HIM for our freedoms, then celebrate them by spending some quiet, alone time in His Word! ENJOY!

NOTE: Before playing the video, please scroll down to the bottom of the page to pause the music from our site.
