I watched the Olympic games tonight. At least most of them. When the Swimmers were to take the podium for the awarding of the medals and the American swimmer had stepped up to receive the gold, it felt good.

The part that got to me was when the American National Anthem was played. The melody by itself is beautiful. The words spoke of a fight that was being waged. The feelings expressed were concern for whether or not the fight was being won by the new American people.

Thinking on what was being expressed made me cry. Our country has been a wonderful place to live. We have freedoms that are not always found in other areas. It made me wonder if our country will be able to continue to be free. I do not want our country to fail. I do not want our people to fail. So many other places have lost so much and people have suffered. Please pray for our country. Please pray for our people. Please pray for our leaders.
