Independance Day Message.

What I am grateful for this Independence Day?

• Freedom of Speech, Religion, Press, Right to Assemble
• Live in America
• Live in Utah
• A Constitution of the United States of America
• Bill of Rights
• Speak about how I feel about the government and the President and not be thrown in prison.
• Have a day off from going to work.
• To sing patriotic songs
• Not be a slave to a king.
• To be able to keep the freedoms that we do have. 
• To speak the truth for what I feel in my heart and not be ashamed. 

I'm sure you are grateful for the same things I have listed.  This is a country that is a blessed country and will be a free country as long as we remain righteous and keep God in our country.  I know these are the last days and things with the government is not always the best right now.  I want to remain free and live in this free country and not be under some dictator or a king.  Let us speak the truth to our government and let them know how we feel!

      God Bless America! Land of the Free and Home of the Brave! 

Slavery is against freedom.

I seem to have touched on slave topic several times already.  As I looked in the previous ones that I've done about the word slave it reminds me the awful cruel it is to be a slave.  I was thinking about what it means to be a slave.  Being a slave is that your freedom is taking away. 

Are we a slave to these things, just to name a few items:

• Money
• Fame
• Swearing
• Working (spending more time at work then needed)
• Pornography
• Fear
• Time
• AND MANY MORE!

This is just a small list of things I thought of.  If you think about it, we could be a slave to just about anything.  The best thing to do is fight against it.  With the Lords help we can be able to overcome the things that we are a slave to.

FREEDOM FROM SLAVERY!!!

"Do You Hear the People Sing"

Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!

Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Somewhere beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see?

Then join in the fight
That will give you the right to be free!!

Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!

Will you give all you can give
So that our banner may advance
Some will fall and some will live
Will you stand up and take your chance?
The blood of the martyrs
Will water the meadows of France!

Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes

A patriotic song for the 4th of July.

This song I've watched on the tv while I was in Japan and have grown to love the song since then.  We all have our differences of what songs we like and that some may not like this one but, I like it so I'm going to share it.

God Bless The USA
by Lee Greenwood

If tomorrow all the things were gone,
I'd worked for all my life.
And I had to start again,
with just my children and my wife.

I'd thank my lucky stars,
to be livin here today.
‘Cause the flag still stands for freedom,
and they can't take that away.

And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

From the lakes of Minnesota,
to the hills of Tennessee.
Across the plains of Texas,
From sea to shining sea.
From Detroit down to Houston,
and New York to L.A.
Well there's pride in every American heart,
and its time we stand up and say.

That I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.
