Thoughts on 4th of July from an "original American"....

I have "original American" heritage.  Sure, I am mostly Norwegian by heritage.  But my mother's side of the family (which is rather large even to the 2nd cousin range.....considering large family size back in the day), has British Isles (Irish/English/Scottish) heritage as well as some Indigenous Native American heritage.  Sure I look like all the rest of the "white people".....but that doesn't mean that I put down the "white side" of me all for the sake of the tragic incidents of the minorities in the USA.

I even hear stories about how the Irish built the railroads and were treated harshly.  Ok.  So that puts a lot of my Irish side under pressure to conform to the "money" as it is.

In reality, I believe we will ALWAYS need religious freedom with a touch of religious respect.  I don't care how may times "man" comes up with a new plan on how to get through this life......sin will ALWAYS find a way to ruin men from within....and then could very well lead to death.

Character is an absolute essential element.  Pride vs. Humility.  Foolishness vs. Wisdom.  We need to take the time to reflect on ways to glorify and reverence our creator......day in and day out.... no matter our heritage or background.

The forth of July should be more about freedom to sense that dignity and value come from the -sermon on the Mt- instead of dictatorial empires that control our ability to have freedom from within.

Yes, America is NOT the kingdom of the LORD.....but we have ACCESS to the kingdom and its rules and orders.  Nature is with us (indigenous people......we and still are a part of American fabric) to find a redeemer to worship and praise.

We can find hope and strength with the access to APPROPRIATE FREEDOM OF SPEECH....
