Editor, Gazette-Journal:

This is “America the Beautiful,” and we are meant to represent God’s plan for this land of plenty—the nation that wrote a Constitution with liberty for all as the root of its laws—just as God wills for everyone. With all these gifts came the freedom to choose, because God wants us to love Him as He loves us, and this makes us responsible for our choices.

Have we chosen well? Do we respect His word? Do we courageously stand up for Jesus, even when mocked? This is what we have to do if we want to honorably represent the county that God has blessed so much.

From Genesis to Revelation, we will learn all we need to know as to how and why, but only God knows when, and He does have the last Word. Let’s pray we hear the words, “well done, good and faithful servant.”
