Let Freedom Ring

"I testify to you that God's hand has been in our destiny. I testify that freedom as we know it today is being threatened as never before in our history. I further witness that this land—the Americas—must be protected, its Constitution upheld, for this is a land foreordained to be the Zion of our God. He expects us as members of the Church and bearers of His priesthood to do all we can to preserve our liberty."

-Pres. Ezra Taft Benson, 1979

I'm so grateful for my country. This truly is the land that I love: from the mountains, to the prairies, to the oceans white with foam.

My heart yearns for a time when we will be a country at peace again, when righteousness will prevail, and we won't have such political turmoil. And yes, I'm aware of what that means I'm wishing for... I wish the Savior would come.

But truly, I love America.

It never was. It never will be.

Happy 4th of July to all!
