Independence Day

                                 Psalm 144:3a

O Lord, what are we that 

        you should care for us? 

 Grant that we and all the people of this land may have grace to maintain our liberties in righteousness & peace. 

               - Collect for Independence Day

“All four Gospels preface the ministry of Jesus …pointing it back Isaiah 40… “Every valley shall be lifted up and every mountain hill shall be laid low… Then the glory of the Lord shall be reveled…”  This brother didn’t come into the world to leave it the way he found it. … He came to  change the landscape of our reality and our lives from the nightmare it often is into the dream that God intends it to be. …
