Dear Parishioners,
May we all have a wonderful Fourth of July weekend.
This national holiday commemorates America’s
independence from the British Crown and the founding of our sovereign
nation. This is America’s “Birthday.” Happy Birthday, America.
I can remember so many July Fourths: When Alaska and Hawaii
became states; marching as a Cub Scout and Boy Scout in township
parades; on the DC Mall with John Vickers, Roberta Flack and the
National Symphony Orchestra; Fourths when I was a proud American,
when I wept singing The National Anthem and America the Beautiful.
I still am a proud American, even though today’s America doesn’t have
much to be proud of anymore. So, I guess I’m still a proud American IN
SPITE OF what America has become; what so many of our “national
leaders” (save one) have done to disfigure her, how her primary
political parties and their “mascots” have prostituted her for their own
gains and made her a slave to their own godless agendas; how she’s
been stabbed in the back by gangs of thugs determined to rip her apart
and how those thugs are vapidly fawned over by world “leaders,” both
civil and religious. Yes, I’m still a proud American, who hopes to see
the true American Phoenix rise from the ashes of infamy before he dies.
But, here we are in this little village, thankfully escaping the world’s
scrutiny in our little church, secure, for the present, and unnoticed by
evil forces that have bigger fish to fry. Please God, may that always be
the case!
Yes, there are small signs of hope here and there. Do you know what?
Last Monday I actually walked into a restaurant, i.e., INSIDE, and was
able to sit down at a booth – without a mask (I never wear masks
anyway) – and have a civilized breakfast! It was still a little eerie, of
course, what with all of these restaurant staff people mumbling behind
their masks.
Yes, we’re still hearing about Wuhan “spikes” here and there. Funny, I
figured we be lulled to sleep only to get “WOKE” to a major outbreak
in time for the election – when it would be, again, of course, you know
whose fault. How things never change, right? God bless.
