Freedom ~ 7/4/13

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
2 Corinthians 3:17

Lord, how blessed we are to live in a country where we are free to worship as we please.  Help us to never take such freedom for granted.  Today we ask You to bless any believers who are being persecuted for living out their faith.  Draw especially near to them, Lord.  Surround them with Your mighty army of angels.

"Long may our land be bright with freedom's holy light; 
protect us by Thy might, Great God, our King!" 
--Samuel F. Smith

Hodgepodge ~ Freedom ~ 7/3/13

Joyce's Hodgepodgey Questions:

1. What's one simple small pleasure on your summer 'to-do' list? 

Stay up late reading and then sleeping in :)

2. Do you have strong feelings or opinions regarding the immigration debate in your home country? Feel free to share your thoughts, but please play nice.

My only thoughts on this is that it should be done legally.

3.  What's something in your home or wardrobe that could be described as 'star spangled'?

Each summer I get one of the cheap ($3.88) patriotic t-shirts from Wal-Mart.  They are some of my favorite comfy clothes.

4.  Is your house set up for a party?

If we can make it a cleaning party...

5. What one never-before-visited city in America, would you most like to see?

I've always wanted to travel to Williamsburg, VA to see the historic town and sights.

6. Your favorite red food? White food? Blue food?

Red-  Twizzlers
White-  Potatoes
Blue-  Blueberries (really, what else is there?  lol)

7. What freedom do you value the most, and why?

Freedom of religion.  There are so many countries where persecution for religion in horrible.  I am thankful that I have the right to be a Christian freely.

8.  Insert your own random thought here.

The hubby is on vacation this week.  Yesterday we had a Movie-Theater-Marathon.  It actually started Saturday when we took the girls to see "Monsters University".  Then yesterday we went to see "Man of Steel" and then decided to stay for an early showing of "The Lone Ranger".  Out of all three, "The Lone Ranger" was my favorite :)
