Independence Day

I decided to take this post down. Someone notified me that it offended them. Everything on my blog is of my own writing unless otherwise noted. Well this post was a forward that I received in my email. When I copied and pasted it onto here the ending, that says it was written by a dead marine's wife, had been cut off. I put it up as a reaction to some of the awful reports coming out of Iraq.

To 'Dead Mule' (The person who complained),

I'm very sorry I offended you. I see where the post was a little harsh. However, I also have very strong feeling when it comes to politics, freedom, and our military. Also, regardless of what was in that thread, I love God and his children more than anything in this whole world. That includes muslims. I pray for that country and those people. Jesus said, "Whosoever will" can come unto him. Who am I to say any different. Anyways enough time has been spent on this rebuttal. No offense or harm was intended.

Let me just leave this little snippet ,written by lil ol me, instead.

Have you ever thought about what it means to be free? Have you ever thought of the cost of your freedom? I often think of what it means to have freedom as an American. I also think a lot about what it means to have freedom as a Christian. Both of my freedoms have cost much sacrifice. So are you thankful for your freedom or are you just free? Next time you stare into the eyes of your choices just know this... for you to have freedom it cost someone something. (maybe even their life)
