Independence day

two hundred and thirty six years ago we declared our independence from England and declared that we had become a free nation - because we wanted freedom from a government that was different than what we wanted - that was despotic in a number of ways.  america was set up to be a place where people had freedom and a government was set up to protect those freedoms.  but, in the wisdom of man, which is foolishness before God, government has been growing and those freedoms have been eroding.  fortunately, God's wisdom is never found to be foolish, and never erodes, and those that have a relationship with Him through Christ have freedom that will never erode.  that leaves the question, whom shall i serve.  in the words of Jesus, i will give unto Caesar what is Caesars and unto God what is Gods.  with that said, i'm glad that my ultimate citizenship lies in heaven.
