Project 2025 concerns him
Celebrations centered around July 4th have always been tricky for me, for two reasons. First, the 4th is the birthday of my father and a very good friend. So, it’s a wonderful time to acknowledge God’s delight in bringing them into the world. A very positive experience. Second, the 4th also symbolizes the signing of our Declaration of Independence which unfortunately legally established non-white citizens (many as my neighbors) as less than full humans (2/3rds at best). A very negative experience.
Time and the courageous efforts of many others, including my family, have allowed the words “all people are created equal endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights” to make the Declaration and Constitution a more true and complete statement of God’s desires for our (and all) nation. The fact that’s its taken nearly 250 years to achieve this outcome is both embarrassing and hopeful. And, now it could all be lost in a matter of months.
