I love July 4, fireworks, patriotic songs, movies about the Revolution… all of it. That cop that sings “God Bless America” at Yankees games gets me every time I hear his wonderful tenor voice.
But my allegiance isn’t here. It is in another land. Another place. Another kingdom.
The country of my birth is a place I love. The Kingdom I serve and can’t wait to see in full is far greater. As is my King. To him, and his Kingdom, I will always pledge allegiance.
God bless America.
And, Maranatha.
