America, Bless God!

     Everywhere I go I see the sign "God Bless America." I am not sure if it is a prayer, or a plea, or a command. I believe God has blessed America.

         At our very inception we have documents and historical evidence that our forefathers sought God and His blessing. The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution placed liberty and freedom as a top priority. God blessed those ideals. Slavery was surely a blotch on that intent, but the ideal itself triumphed. Even though it cost a destructive and divisive war, those blessed liberties won. America bless God.

         There have been other difficulties over which we have struggled, other wars which have tested our resolve, other calamities which have required our resilience. America bless God.

         On September 11, 2001 we experienced major attack on our homeland. We had never experienced bloodshed from foreign attack on our continental shores before. Let us not assume that God has deserted us. America bless God.

         In 225 years of this nation's existence God has indeed blessed us. It is time to return the favor. AMERICA BLESS GOD
