What to do today? July 4.
America’s birthday, they say. I am thankful, and grateful to live here. I am grateful and give thanks today for every Real Follower of JESUS who lives here in this Country – the few, very few there may be.
There is opulence and luxury here but now in these winter years how rich is this Country, really? It doesn’t seem rich to me in what matters. In what matters She seems a pauper to me. Poor in all that is eternal. Pompous and arrogant, flaunting sin like it is good. Even CHURCHED people are raucous in sin and unbelief. So quick to be entertained and distracted and indulgent in the same attractions as the world (pagans if you please). And if not participating, applauding or at the least closing eyes and mouths.
Freedom!
A people FREE TO SIN.
Where is the freedom FROM sin?
That Freedom attained only by the BLOOD of The LORD YESHUA (JESUS the CHRIST) BOUGHT for us with His SINLESS Life, HIS Death, and HIS RESURRECTION!
Where’s the allegiance to that Freedom? Where are the fireworks to celebrate the freedom to overcome sin, shame, selfishness, and idolatry? Who is celebrating this FREEDOM today? I know some of you are and for you, I am celebrating! 
AND I’m not raining on cook-outs with family and friends, or giving thanks for the voluminous opportunities afforded to every person walking the sod we call America. I’m not begrudging happy faces and full tummies. Like I began this piece, I am grateful to have been born here, to live here, but these days I wonder if the blessings of America have become Her Curse.
Freedom!
It’s vital.
It’s waning.
Seek JESUS.
Press in Christians. Press into Your Savior and LIVE FREE!
Shalom, Kathie
