Independence Day
By Tammy Derouin
Happy Independence Day! The United States of America was established 242 years ago today. Fifty-six brave men signed their names to the Declaration of Independence, severing ties and absolving allegiance from the British Crown.
The desire for independence had been brewing for some time. The famous Shot Heard Around the World, the Battle of Lexington and Concord, took place on April 19, 1775, well over a year prior to the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
I have a picture of the Battle of Lexington hanging in my living room. It serves as a constant reminder of how blessed we are to be free. Whether I'm facing some of life's normal daily challenges or larger threats of injustice, which we all occasionally face at some point, The Battle of Lexington has become a symbol; that which is worth having is worth fighting for and defending.
There will always be outside forces which will attempt to make life difficult or which will try to encroach or impede upon your rights to life, liberty or the pursuit of happiness. Man will be man. History is full of examples where man finds it necessary to control the lives of others. Millions have died under such tyrannical rule. Freedom is always the desired goal. We live in a country where freedom and individual rights are recognized. Why would we want to give that up?
Man will try to deceive you into thinking that government should determine your rights. The problem with that is, if we begin to believe or demand that the government is the giver of rights, not God, then government can also take them away.......
