PASSING DOWN TO THE NEXT GENERATION:

While attending a Patriotic Production July 1,2008, the audience was jubilant in listening to the band and choir sing song after song of our heritage. We clapped, waved flags and stood as each of the armed forces were recognized. After we left, on the way home, I thought - I hope the next generation feels the same zeal for the freedom of our country. Are we doing all that we can do to pass down the wisdom we've learned in our generation.

James 1:2-7 says: "WISDOM MEANS THE SPIRITUAL CAPACITY TO SEE AND EVALUATE LIFE AND CONDUCT FROM GOD'S POINT OF VIEW. IT REVOLVES AROUND MAKING RIGHT CHOICES AND DOING RIGHT THINGS ACCORDING TO BOTH GOD'S WILL REVEALED IN HIS WORD AND THE LEADING OF THE SPIRIT."

It is a privilege to live in the United States of America. It is privilege to pass down Godly wisdom. It is a privilege to know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Are we doing all we can in passing down this wonderful heritage.

God Bless America! We have some important choices coming up during this next year. May we use that wisdom!
