We are free to choose . . .

Freedom is a God given right to every one of his children. Sadly many are denied freedom in this world where evil at times prevails. Those who are blessed to live in freedom bear a sacred responsibility to their brothers and sisters around the world. We must live gratefully by promoting and defending the liberties of those who yearn for it. One of the most touching pictures from the past couple of years showed Iraqi women holding up their blue ink stained fingers. Their faces radiated with the joy of a personal vote. I am deeply thankful for the young men and women who have stepped up and volunteered in the fight for the cause of freedom.

May we do our part this coming Tuesday by informed voting with an eye on the ramifications of that vote. The Supreme Court hangs in the balance. The free market that has brought prosperity to this country and blessed us with the wealth to make a difference around the world through our charity and defense of the freedoms of others is also in peril. The right to worship according to the dictates of our own conscience is at risk. God bless us as we exercise our rights. God bless the USA and may we continue to be a blessing to those who only dare to dream of the freedoms we hold dear.
