Our Inaugural Thoughts

By drew on January 20, 2009

We have a new president.

American Flag Retirement Ceremony

By drew on November 24, 2008

How is one supposed to properly dispose of an American flag? Can you just throw it in a dumpster? Sure you can, but here’s the correct way to put a worn out star-spangled banner to rest:
“The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed [...]

Save Us from Ourselves

By drew on November 5, 2008

From Dr. Al Mohler’s blog:
May God grant us mercy and grace as we seek to fulfill our responsibilities as citizens — and our responsibilities as Christians.  This world is not our home, but we do bear responsibilities as followers of Christ as we are living here.
May God bless America, not because this nation deserves to [...]

America for Me

By drew on June 12, 2007

by Henry Van Dyke

’Tis fine to see the Old World, and travel up and down
Among the famous places and cities of renown,
To admire the crumbly castles and the statues of their kings —
But now I think I’ve had enough of antiquated things.

So it’s home again, and home again, America for me!
My heart is turning home again, and there I long to be,
In the land of youth and freedom beyond the ocean bars
Where the air is full of sunlight and the flag is full of stars.

Oh, London is a man’s town, there’s power in the air;
And Paris is a woman’s town, with flowers in the hair;
And it’s sweet to dream in Venice, and it’s great to study Rome;
But when it comes to living… there is no place like home.

It’s Home Again, and Home Again, America for Me

By drew on June 12, 2007

So it’s home again, and home again, America for me!
My heart is turning home again, and there I long to be,
In the land of youth and freedom beyond the ocean bars
Where the air is full of sunlight and the flag is full of stars.

Thank you, Henry Van Dyke. I couldn't have said it better myself. Although, on the other hand, it was loverly to be in Virginia Beach ov'r the weekend, witnessing not only the marriage of my cousin Joel and his bride Kirk, but also the sandy beaches of the Atlantic Ocean.
