Liberty

Galatians 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.



These are powerful words from the Apostle Paul. While we were in New York earlier on our trip we took the tour around the Statue of Liberty from one of the rangers there. Being a Government teacher I was overwhelmed with the awesome passion that the guide explained the story of the "Statue". He was an ex-marine who had served in combat I believe in Korea and an African-American-so I would assume that his background gave him an interesting perspective. As he told the story of all the symbolism within the building of the statue, you could see his passion for the liberty that he can now claim. He seemed to understand fully the cost of liberty that Americans now posses.
