Never far from his work, but with 10 kids still at home, someone better work. After all, he supports them (not the government).

It seems to me the freedoms and rights we as Americans hold dear are under attack like never before in my lifetime.  I think this is because too many people, including many of our nation's leaders, believe even our most basic freedoms are privileges granted by the government when, in fact, the very reason the Declaration of Independence was penned was to declare freedom from government.

IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Read the first sentence of the second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence again.  The founding fathers believed that God endowed us with our rights.  I believe that too, and I know a lot of my fellow Americans do as well.  Since I believe our country is under attack like never before in my lifetime, I will pray for it like I never have before.
