Tomorrow
we, as a nation, celebrate the day our ancestors declared their independence
from dictatorial government. The monarchy increasingly pressed for greater
control over their lives until they’d had enough.
Political
pressures continued until tensions reached a crisis. Colonists knew they were
called to establish a new country—one that would allow its citizens to freely
worship God and create a new form of government that serves the people. Like
David, they faced their giant, committing themselves to sever their bonds with
their oppressors. No matter what.
Recently,
I found myself facing a crisis. I
listened to my doctor say, “You have metastatic prostate cancer that has
metastasized to your bones. We can’t cure it. All we can do is manage its
growth and your pain.”
