observation: freedom

So you are saying to yourself, "how appropriate". The 4th of July, and she wants to talk about freedom. Why, yes I do.
I appreciate those who fight for my freedom. Iraq. Afganistan. And those who have fought for our freedom. Persian Gulf. Korea. Vietnam. Europe. I appreciate the freedoms we have, that they fight for. Religion. Speech. Bearing Arms. And I love that I have the freedom to schedule what I want, when I want to. I love that we aren't bogged down by rulers who tell us what to do each day, hour, and minute of our lives. I have to freedom to get married to whom I want, when I want to and where I want to. I have the freedom to have as many babies as I want to.
So now I am going to talk about my favorite freedom. Religion. Freedom of Religion. I have the freedom to choose what religion I want to follow. Which church I want to join. And I had the freedom to join it when I wanted to. I have the freedom now to choose the extent of which I follow my religion. (I am devout, I promise, I am just making a point). I have the freedom to worship where and when I want to. I have the freedom to love and worship my God, my Heavenly Father, as unconditionally as I want to. I have the freedom to follow the footsteps of Christ in whatever way I deem appropriate. I have the freedom to talk to whomever I want about my religion. I have the freedom to pray, and to read my scriptures. I have the freedom to donate my money as tithing to my church, and to donate to charities of my choosing. I have the freedom to be friends with whomever I want to. I have the freedom to love whomever I want to. And I have the freedom to raise my children in this AMAZING land.
I HAVE FREEDOM...and I love it.
