July 4th, What is
Independence About?
Political Outcast – Dave Jolly
– 7/4/2013
I had the opportunity to
talk to my granddaughter and ask her what they taught her in school about America.
She told me that they had taught her a little about George Washington and
Abraham Lincoln, but mostly they taught her all about President Obama and how
great he is. When I heard what the public schools had been teaching our
children and grandchildren, I was angry and yet at the same time, I almost
wanted to cry.
I pushed the subject a
little further and asked Megan if they taught her anything about why the
Pilgrims came to America
or why we fought the British in the Revolutionary War and she looked at me like
I had been asking about quantum physics. What I did find out was that she
had been taught about globalism and how we should all be working together to
save the planet.
Have you ever asked your
children if they understood what July 4th was all about or if they knew America’s
Christian history? Have you ever sat down with them and read Deut. 6 or
Psalm 78 and showed them how that relates to America?
I challenge all of you to
make this July 4th weekend a special one and teach your children what it is all
about. Teach them about the Pilgrims and why they came to America.
Tell them about the thousands of men and women who sacrificed so much to win
our independence.
