We had a great sermon about praying that our nation will turn back to fearing the Lord. A nation is only great when it recognizes the ONE that gives it power and blessings.
In our local newspaper was this quote: Sir Alex Fraser Tyler (1742-1813), a Scottish jurist and historian, said,
" The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been two hundred years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; from spiritual faith to great courage; from courage to liberty; form liberty to abundance; from abundance to selfishness; from selfishness to complaceny; from complacency to apathy; from apathy to dependency; from dependency back again into bondage."

We had a WONDERFUL patriotic morning service, which will be followed by a patriotic celebration this evening. Praying you were blessed today :)
