4 July is coming soon. With every fourth, Southrons have to face the pressure by the uninformed to sing or listen to the Battle Hymn of the Republikc. Several years ago I was asked to speak in a church. I specifically requested that hymn not be sung as part of the service. Well the youth pastor went ahead and included a small portion of the song. It behooves Southrons to use this time of year as a reminder of what that awful song is all about. Here is an article on the song Battle Hymn . Tell your pastors and church members what awful things this song teaches. If I stood in the pulpit of any God fearing Bible believing church, and preached what that song teaches, they would take me out and brand me as a heritic.

I often watch the movie Gettysburg as a reminder of the sacrifice of those brave forefathers who risked it all for our nation. I lost family there at the railroad cut in those three days of fighting. It was also on 4 July 1863 that there was a Confederate victory in Richmond, Kentucky.  The day was not filled with defeats all around the south.  Whatever you do, pray for our nation. Pray for our people, Pray for our  Independence and remember the sacrifices others have made for the freedoms that we are still able to enjoy. Remember that freedoms come from the Almighty God, not as a favor allowed by the empire. If you shoot off fireworks, do it in the city limits so as to exercise your freedom.

Free Texas and Remember
