Last Ounce of Courage

Today I worked on a part of the yard that was just filled with brambles.  Years ago I had planted in the space but it is kind of "out of the way"  thus out of mind and eye.  Well 4+ wheelbarrows full and sore muscles later I have "pushed back" and rededicated the land.  Vines, raspberry bushes, weeds, small trees etc etc had all rooted them selves pretty strongly.  

BUT I DID TAKE THE LAND BACK!

Today I went to see the movie "Last Ounce of Courage" with mom and a friend.  It was good and reminded me of my gardening experience.    Our "land" has been taken over ~  our freedoms have been trampled.  We have followed like lambs to the slaughter on many fronts without speaking up.  

If you ever listen to ACLJ (American Council for Law and Justice) you will hear many stories of people that have been TOLD that they cannot bring their Bible to school, pray in public, put up a nativity,  say Merry Christmas,  etc etc etc.  

AND IT NOT TRUE! 

  

Because someone said we can't we just submitted without questioning and finding out the law and or making a call to someone who knows....and the weeds began to grow.  

I, like many, have been passive in some of these areas.   I don't want to make a fuss, be singled out, and often I'm just not sure what my rights are!   Its time we find out!  

Its time that YOU AND I stand up and be counted.  

I will stand and pledge that flag!   

I will pray   

I will carry my Bible  

I will witness  

etc etc etc. 

Stand up friend ~  there's a train on the track and it's coming fast~

Let 's also remember that we must obey God first and foremost!

Blessings!
