Banners of Freedom. Hearts of Gratitude. Happy Fourth of July!

~Jehovah Nissi~
The Lord My Banner

“How often the priest had heard the same confession--Man was so limited: he hadn't even the ingenuity to invent a new vice: the animals knew as much. It was for this world that Christ had died: the more evil you saw and heard about you, the greater the glory lay around the death; it was too easy to die for what was good or beautiful, for home or children or civilization-it needed a God to die for the halfhearted and the corrupt.”
― Graham Greene,
The Power and the Glory

Do not allow to slip away from you freedoms the people who came before you won with such hard knocks.
-David Herbert Lawrence

So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. - John 8:36

Freedom has its life in the hearts, the actions, the spirit of men and so it must be daily earned and refreshed - else like a flower cut from its life-giving roots, it will wither and die. 
~Dwight D. Eisenhower
