Freedom

Today GBS participated in activities for National Day of Prayer downtown in front of the courthouse. There was a mass exodus of black and blue suits filing off our bus and mingling with the people on the street and steps of courthouse. I played with the band, and the choir also sang. It was a fun experience, but more than that it really gave me something to think about and be thankful for.

I was thrilled when we first pulled up next to the courthouse to realize that inscribed in the stone structure on each side was a quote about justice and included God. They (whoever "they" are) have not been able to take everything away! We also pledged allegiance to the flag, and many people prayed for various leaders, our government, schools and more.

One of our guys sang the solo for the song That's Him. The music was so beautiful and the lyrics almost made me cry! It is so amazing and wonderful that we could stand outside on the steps of the courthouse and proclaim and sing about Jesus and what He has done for us. He is Sharon's rose, He's Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End!

I am so thankful to live in a free country where we don't have to hide our relationship with God and can pray and praise Him in public!
