Celebrating someone’s death is sickening. I’m done staying silent or being scared to talk about my beliefs. I understand that I will have people unfollow me for this and I’m ok with that. I grew up as a pastors kid and I have tried so hard to keep this a secret till now. I fell away from Christ for about 8 years now and the past few months I’ve felt Jesus pulling on my heart. Today is the day I’ve decide to find him again. Remember to love one another and be kind. There’s too much evil and hate in this world.
Independence Day is a reminder that America is not the project of any one person. The single most powerful word in our democracy is the word ‘We.’ ‘We The People.’ ‘We Shall Overcome.’ ‘Yes We Can.’ America is owned by no one. It belongs to all citizens. And at this moment in history—when core democratic principles seem to be continuously under attack, when too many people around the world have become cynical and disengaged—now is precisely the time to ask ourselves tough questions about how we can build our democracies and make them work in meaningful and practical ways for ordinary people.
