I've always had mixed feelings or thoughts about patriotic services in America. I went to one tonight that was thoroughly wonderful. Ultimately, the Cross was portrayed as the center of the Believer's walk. The whole service did point back to Jesus Christ as our Savior. The choir was fantastic. The orchestra was awesome. Understand too I highly respect those who currently serve in the armed forces. I also highly respect those who have done so in the past. Some even paid the price with their lives which is a costly yet admirable sacrifice to protect our freedoms. What is hard for me is equating the U.S. and super imposing promises made to Israel by using passages such as 2 Chronicles 7:14 and Psalm 33:12 to mean the U.S. is God's chosen people. Or even that the U.S. is God's "special" nation. Again I have mixed feelings/thoughts on the matter. Is it just me or does anyone else struggle with this?

I watched an interview (or was it a debate) between two gentlemen who cited very different numbers about murders in the U.S. and in the U.K. It seemed to be a real point of contention, with the word liar being tossed in for good measure. The numbers were hugely different not just between the U.S, and the U.K., but between one person and the other. Obvious to me, was that omitted from the conversation, was the population difference between the two countries. Less obvious, was the fact that these two gentlemen were saying very different things, not just different numbers. Sorry to be so vague in the description, but I think it would be better if you just watched it, if this sort of thing interests you. In this post, I will put the video of the debate. The numbers were so different, that I decided to look into them as the host of the show suggested, to see who was the bigger liar, lol. In the next post, I will put another video, where someone did a more thorough investigation of the numbers, and bothered to analyze why they are different and what the differences really mean. Enjoy! I just noticed that this video has already been posted, If you have already watched it, just go to the second posting and watch the analysis. Sorry! http://youtu.be/QFbKhAfw4RI
