Before there was Independence Day there was July 4th. Before there were countries there was Mother Earth. Before there were fireworks there were
trees blazing with oxygen from which we took our life.
Pledge allegiance to the flag. Pledge allegiance to God. Go ahead, everyone needs something to stand up for and to. Say you are free because you are American, then kneel at the cross, enter your temple, declare your right to kingdom.
But oh Sweet Land of Liberty, do you not know that the crucified have no kingdoms? They render themselves unto neither God nor Caesar. They are rendered unto death, by those who think
the forsaken are crying out for someone else.
America, stop singing for God to bless you. Listen, the forsaken cry out to you. Render life, blessed life.

I'm the one on the left. That's my favorite part on the right. I'm an ordained minister in the Presbyterian Church (USA) and the United Church of Christ. I work as Minister to a parish community in Cumberland, RI. That I could also see myself as a farmer, a cowboy, or Thoreau sitting pond-side at Walden is probably not insignificant. I don't blog about anything in particular, but everything I blog about is particularly important to me. That it may be to you as well is good enough for me.
