On July 4, 1776, we claimed our independence from Britain and Democracy was born in North America. Today we celebrated Independence Day on the beach with thousands of people. Fireworks everywhere! Up and down the beach as far as we could see, fireworks, cheering, and applause. The kids loved it. I thank God for the USA! Christians should criticize less and pray more. Paul explained why we should pray for our country's leaders in 2 Timothy 2:1 I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone— 2 for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. 3 This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4 who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. We should pray for President Bush and for everyone who leads our great country. We are so blessed by God. We are free and there is peace in our land. Yes, there is a war in Iraq, a war on terror, and trouble in North Korea. But we are so blessed! Since there is peace in our land we should live godly, quiet lives so that people can see Jesus in us and put their faith in him.
