I am a follower of Jesus & a homeschooling mommy of six children with various degrees of autism, ranging from severe to high functioning. We're living & learning on the spectrum!
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13
Today, July 4th, I'm reminded of a particular Brad Stine joke about blame that goes something like this:
"Get out of our Boy Scouts God, get off our money God, get out of our universities God, get out of our military God, get out of our textbooks God, get out of our homes God, get off our televisions God, go away God, we don't want you God, we don't need you God..."
"KATRINA HITS"
"God? Where are you??!"
He's a Christian comedian so he's pointing out people's reactions to bad things that happen. As he says you'll never see pastors consulted on CNN when we have a lovely day outside thankful to God for his blessings...
So today, maybe between the fireworks, barbeques, & various celebrations, people should take time to ponder the Christian roots of this country. Christians among us might want to pray fervently for those in government, for the future of our country, for His protection, & for Him to have mercy in not lifting His Hand of protection, despite how many people keep trying to push Him away.
You can't have His protection & not want Him at the same time.
You know, I was actually thinking on the 4th and wondering how long we will be able to sing songs about our freedom in America. I feel like many of our freedoms have really been stripped away in the past year. I'm not liking it...
