It seems that we are bombarded by newspapers, magazines, television, and radio with all that is wrong with America. How about this July Fourth make a Top Ten List of what is great about America.
Here is mine:
10. I was able to go to college and choose my profession.
9. I have a home that provides protection.
8. I am able to have a driver’s license and drive.
7. I am able to voice my opinion without fear of being jailed.
6. I am able to vote for the candidate of my choice.
5. I have a voice in what happens in my community.
4. My dreams are not limited by anyone but me.
3. I am able to have a family and share their lives.
2. I am able to worship the God of my choice.
1. I have the freedom to make choices about my life.
How about that we are free from internal warfare, genocide, and ethnic cleansing.
You’re right, I think the list could be endless.
I was on the road on July 4th, but here are a couple of items to add to the list:
I can’t be stoned for being suspected of adultery.
I am free not to worship if I so choose.
