The wonders of technology! A sweet friend sent me an animated
e-card for the 4th of July. As the fireflies swirl round an iconic
American farmhouse, red/white/blue flags and decorations appear on the porch.
The fireflies move on to a pastoral scene and then to a southern style mansion,
with more bunting, more flags, and now people waving and cheering as fireworks
explode overhead.
I’ve felt patriotic in a heart-broken way of late, grieving
for the USA I knew as a child, which I now see I saw only in part.
Only God is holy. Only God is perfect. May his kingdom come,
his will be done on earth – the whole earth – as it is in heaven. Amen.
