Setting aside all political arguments of what is right and wrong with this nation, I was able to experience one of the truly great ceremonies of our nation today. We have an Indian brother in our congregation who became a naturalized citizen today. It was my privilege to witness 705 new citizens from 82 different nations being sworn in as American citizens.

I had never experienced anything like it before. The ceremony was a great celebration and it is something I HIGHLY recommend everyone try and see at least once in their lifetime.

Das and I had a great time of celebration. Our church will have a great time of celebration for him later in the month as well. It was truly a proud day as an American. (Click on the picture to go the album.)
