Thanks to everyone who has served this nation…We can enjoy our freedom this week and every week, thanks to a mighty nation and caring individuals that make up all our ranks. I like the words of our National Anthem, fourth stanza:

O, thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand, between their lov’d homes and the war’s desolation; Blest with vict’ry and peace, may the heav’n-rescued land, Praise the Pow’r that hath made and preserv’d us a nation! Then conquer we must, when our cause is just, and this be our motto, “In God is our trust”, And the star-spangled banner in trumph shall wave, o’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

The path of some of our citizen makes us wonder of our nations direction, “looking forward”,  because it is certainly different than “looking back”. God and the Bible have been pushed into the back ground by so many people I wonder how long our motto can remain. “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from Heaven and forgive their sin and will heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14 …….You and I need to heed that advise….This week, will you join me in praying for our nation and our citizens?
