"We love freedom, but too often we treat freedom as a blank check to live as we please, rather than a sacred responsibility to live just and virtuous lives. Too many Americans--from elementary school children to college students to CEOs of our largest corporations--do not know American well enough to love her deeply or critisize her wisely."

I think we ALL have room to grow here. I'm honestly not sure how to know America well enough to love her deeply or critisize her wisely. Any ideas?
The one thing I totally appreciate, (partly because I see the absence of this freedom in other countries; and partly because I see freedom of religion eroding in our country) is this: The freedom to own and read my Bible. I was so blessed the other day at Caribou. There were three groups of 2 or 3 sitting around me either having Bible study or discussing spiritual matters. Thank you God. Please preserve that freedom. Your Word is rich, true, and unchanging.
EverGrowing,
Lonnie
