Rockaway Beach, Oregon
Janice and I happened to be at Rockaway Beach four days before the celebration of our nation's independence. Rockaway may be a small beach community, but they know how to decorate for the fourth of July.
This window display captured my attention, maybe at first for the colors and the attention to detail, but as I've reflected on this picture there is something more that appeals to me. This display hits a nostalgic chord in me.
This chord is not the result of the items in the window. I've never played a blue guitar or a red ukulele. My family didn't decorate our house in red, white and blue. This nostalgic chord is struck by what this display represents. It typifies that for which our country stands.
This not a political blog. This blog is read by people around the world, as well as Democrats, Republicans, and Libertarians. I will continue to keep that way.
This specific blog is a call to remember what has been passed on to us as Christians throughout the centuries and what will be passed on for generations to come.
"With all these things in mind, dear brothers and sisters, stand firm and keep a strong grip on the teaching we passed on to you both in person and by letter." 2 Thessalonians 2:15 New Living Translation
Let's not lose our grip on Christ and what has been delivered to us from generations past. It is this faith that has been passed on to us which brings true liberation.
