Breather

The news lately, and just the state of the world in general, has been so depressing, that I decided I couldn't handle it anymore. This morning, I woke up feeling so spiritually burdened. But I decided to cast my cares upon the Lord, and as I began to worship and ask the Holy Spirit to take any burden I've needlessly placed on myself and replace it with His burden, I felt about 30 pounds lighter. (Too bad that doesn't work with weight loss :)

I was listening to Dennis Prager the day after the Nick Berg atrocity happened, and he said that we all are capable of fighting for our country. He mentioned that there are a number of ways to defend the America we love without enlisting (this was an encouragement to those who cannot serve or aren't called to it). He said he made a decision when he was around my age to fight for and defend the values of this great nation, and he's been fighting on his radio show ever since. That encouraged me because I'm certainly not cut out for the armed forces. Are you kidding? The first time someone barked orders at me, I'd yell back, "You don't have to yell. So rude!" :)

So, this post is dedicated to finding ways that we all can fight for the values we hold dear that are being destroyed by liberal America and Islam. Let me know what you're doing, or what you think we could do. I really would love to read your suggestions.
