Freedom of Speech

Freedom of speech - America your law says we have the freedom of speech - and so we do.

Or do we?

If you have followed the many interviews my family has given over the past 2 yrs. 10 mos. 22 days, you know what the producer allowed to be aired as we answered each and every question.

Could you hear what was not allowed to be aired? 

You see in every interview, we spoke of our faith in Jesus Christ to get us through.

Just this week, I have been asked to write a letter to the editor of our local paper.  I am expressing my support for the write-in candidate for Mayor of Morenci.

After submitting the letter, the editor sent back a few questions for me to address.

Rightfully so, after all this is his job, to be sure my position is understood and I am open to any and all rebuttal that will come.    

Next Wed. this city will read of my desire is to have God fearing men and women in government offices.

My dear readers, we as Followers of Christ are not to be still, we are to speak the truth.

It saddens me that our country has gone so far away from God, so far away from what our forefathers believed and founded this country on.

What saddens me more is us, dear followers of Christ, we have been silent, when we should be shouting!

Why have we kept silent so others won't be offended?

I am done being silent. The letter to the editor is a beginning for me. 

Christ was rejected and crucified, I believe He is asking me to speak up and take the rebuttal.

Luke 9:22-27 "And he said, 'The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests and teachers of the law, and he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life.'
Then he said to them all: 'If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will save it. What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit his very self? If anyone is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels. I tell you the truth, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God.'"
