Freedom Is Not Cheap
Think about all the young men that gave up their lives to keep America free. We owe an enormous debt to them. They sacrificed so we could live. This is why we celebrate the 4th of July…because many died to bring forth a nation that is of the people, by the people and for the people. We celebrate our freedom from an oppressive government in the past. It seems like we are now being oppressed gain through bad policy decisions in Washington. But we can change that by voting the bad folks out of office in November.
New Website
My new website has info on all of our books. I think there are 18 or 19 titles. There is also audio poems, Bible Time Podcast and more. Drop by sometime… www.marrinellichristianbooks.com.
I’ll leave you with this thought
The Lighthouse
A lighthouse is a blessing,
To the ships that toss in the sea,
For it shows them the way,
Until they can clearly see.
The rage of an angry storm
Cannot hide its brilliant light.
Nor can its awesome furry,
Rule as an endless night.
Jesus is the lighthouse,
For those who have gone astray.
The light of His love,
Offers a new and living way.
Jesus is the lighthouse,
When fear and sickness rage.
The light of His love,
Gives hope in difficult days.
So trust in the Lord,
And look for His light.
He alone is “The Lighthouse”,
That guides you through the night.
