What Price Freedom?

If you are one of these people who is a parasite on society, like Senator Robert Byrd’s constituents, you probably won’t get what today is all about. If some of you ever had to give up a meal or be homeless, you would whine about how tough you had it.
Our Founding Fathers knew what it meant to suffer, to really suffer. They did it because they believed in something that was far more important than having a roof over their heads or making sure they ate every meal: FREEDOM.
I am proud and honored to say that I am the descendent of a Revolutionary War Hero. I pay tribute to him today, as well as for his sacrifice in making us free. Our family paid the price in blood because Robert Jarrett IV was willing to give his life for our freedom.
Someone once said that you can’t have freedom AND equality. You have to pick one. I personally believe that you can be equal under the law and equal before God although God does hold those who are saved above those who aren’t. After that, there really isn’t anything such as equality. We don’t all have the same homes, incomes, looks, or anything else. Each of us is unique with unique circumstances.
I personally prefer freedom. Although I do believe that those things outlined in the Bible as sins are sins, I also believe that we’re all adults and responsible and accountable for our behavior. Whether you believe in God or not, or believe what the Bible says, or not, it doesn’t mean that these things aren’t true. Some things simply are true no matter the message or the messenger. That’s just the way it is. Trying to defy the law of gravity because you’ve decided you don’t want it to exist doesn’t mean that it goes away.
There are consequences for everything we do and every decision we make. That’s just life. If you want to be free, you’ll have to stand up. That’s just the way it is. I will stand up because I want to be free, and freedom is worth any price.
Today is a day to be grateful. If you are an American citizen, then be grateful today because you enjoy a freedom few in the world will ever experience. Don’t take it for granted.
