As I prepare to tuck myself in for the evening, my heart reminds me how very blessed I am to live in this country. Oh sure, in this country we have our share of changes, disputes, differences of opinion; however, we are free to express our views. Somehow even with our various ways of viewing life situations, there is still a respect for each individual's right to express his or her's opinion. I like that! So, tonight my prayer is each of us remember what a privilege it is to live in this country and  to pray that gift  be given to everyone in this world.
