As this Monday gets closer, we might want to consider all those who have given their lives, so that we can enjoy the freedom we have in this great nation. I, for one, tend to take it for granted sometimes. I know it is not a perfect nation, but it is by far the best one in the world today. And with this in mind, let us consider, this nation was founded on christian beliefs and principles. The sad thing is, we are straying so far from those foundational beliefs. Let us also consider on this Memorial Day the ultimate sacrifice given that serves as the foundation of our Christian faith. That is Jesus Christ, who gave His life, for the redemption of mans sin, so that we could be reconciled with God. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotton Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life!" John 3:16. May God bless you all! In Christ love; Greg J.
