HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!

Today's DailySusan is a musical email with a series of pictures from small-town Texas that showed about a thousand people standing along the route between a church and a cemetery for the funeral of a serviceman killed in Iraq. They held their hands over their hearts, and silently held up American flags, in a moving tribute.

It made me realize that the soul of America is beautiful, because it is rooted in Jesus Christ. But we don't show our true soul all that often.

My Fourth of July prayer is that the fruits of the Spirit, which have been so lavishly endowed upon Americans and our country, would blaze to the fore in the coming year, and overcome the evils and problems which beset us. These fruits -- evidence of God's influence in our hearts -- are listed in Galatians 5:22,23: love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and temperance.

If everybody would try to model those, we really would crown our good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea.

Have a great day, everyone.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!
