Glad for My Country

Although I rued the decision that kept me out of the house past 11 last night, I did appreciate the opportunity to reflect with my family upon how merciful God has been to put us in this nation, even at this time. I do not go to worship on the Lord's Day wondering if the King's mercenaries or the communist secret police are going to come slaughter my family and congregation in front of me in attempt to make me deny Christ.

While Karissa cannot yet grasp these things, she did love the fireworks. And it probably goes without saying that Kes and Emmet thoroughly enjoyed them too.
