On this 4th of July, 2009, let us pause and reflect on the Country that our ancestors and our Founders of our Republic have given us as their legacy for future generations. Our Declaration of Independence in 1776 proclaimed the freedoms that we cherished as our new nation. We continued 1784 with the Constitution of United States of America and the Bill of Rights with the numerous amendments over the years. We have a PROUD HERITAGE and we have a PROMISING FUTURE. Each immigrant to our Country contributed in some way that made the difference for each and every one of us over the years. Each person brought a unique bundle of skills that took our Country from an agriculturally based market place to an information age and a service oriented society. With all of the new technologies that have been discovered through entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs since 1776, we have grown as a Country that has fought to preserve the freedoms that meant the most to each one of us. We eventually understood the cultural diversities that made us a "melting pot" of nationalities, races, unique skills, and spiritual diversities. We learned to respect and to be tolerant of the differences of doctrines, but we learned of the "common thread" that brought our Judeo-Christian heritiage from its founding formations to the present. "We hold these truths to be self-evident...that all men and women are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights and that among them are LIFE, LIBERTY, AND PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS."
Why are so many elected officials "watering down" our heritage with their bazaar proposals that would undermine our God-given freedoms and our respect for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness? Are we ready for a "revival of our traditions" and a "renewal of our spiritual development" that will once again stimulate the uniqueness of America? Our holistic intelligences are being attacked from within as well as from without by those who are "jealous" of the many-faceted talents of our American people. There are many greedy and selfish individuals and groups who really do not care about America and the American way of life. These individuals and groups want to destroy the very essence of what the Republic fought for over the years to retain at all costs. Today we have dedicated service personnel who put their lives on the line for the freedoms of our Country. These service men and women want to have the benefits of freedom not only for themselves and their families, but also for the many persons throughout the world who want to declare independence from tyranny in their various countries. Thank you, American Armed Services, for all that you do to fight for our freedoms to live in a free society with cultural diversity and religious respect and tolerance of differing doctrines.
Again, Happy 233rd Birthday, America. LET FREEDOM CONTINUE TO RING FOR ALL THE CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. God has already blessed this wonderful Country of ours. Let us bless God for His guidance through the Holy Spirit to continue to grow in our multiple holistic intelligences. Let us continue to pray for the conversion of the United States of America to again recapture the SPIRIT OF 1776 as God intended for all of us.
