Patriotism.

We must be patriotic, remember what we fight for. And not just "remember" but we must DO something. we can't just sit there. And, while most times when people think of patriotism they think of patriotism to the country that we live in now, we must also remember the country that we have lived in for so much longer. The kingdom of God. Thomas Jefferson once said, "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." Now, while there are some aspects to this I don't like, it's relevant to what I'm talking about. We must act, we must rekindle the fires in people. If we live without the awakenings then we do not live. While sometimes people need to see the loss before they will do anything, sometimes we must feel the power of God for us to be energized. we can not constantly feel the spirit super powerfully, it goes up and down. But these cycles of the spirit are like the blood on the liberty tree, it reawakens us. And through many of these reawakanings we can come closer to god.
