Happy Birthday America!

Just a moment to reflect on the amazing freedom I have as an American. Freedoms and restrictions. There are places i'll never be welcome because of my President, or my country's foreign policy, or some past history, or because of the misperceptions gained through Hollywood's grossly accurate yet overgeneralizing potrayal of life in the US, or simply my language or the color of my skin. Yet I can be grateful for a different kind of freedom today as well. Absolutley irreverent of my national heritage I have been given a citizenship in heaven. My Father has connections in every country, in every city, with every business, gov't and organization. I can neither go anywhere nor do anything without His guidance, I am worthless. But WITH him, there is no border or barrier that can keep me out. AHHHH FREEDOM! Jesus redefined the word when He died and set me free from my future in hell and gave me a new life. Wow, these thoughts seems rather scattered to me. Yes, Happy Birthday America. Lord help this country to find again the biblical foundations on which the government was laid, revive your church in this one of the most priviledged and weathly countries in the world. Use me God to make an impact and redefine what it means to be an American citizen in the kingdom of God.
