Well, when one party is explicitly unpatriotic, patriotism becomes a political statement.He links to the latest Gallup poll.
This blog is looking for wisdom, to have and to share. It is also looking for other rare character traits like good humor, courage, and honor. It is not an easy road, because all of us fall short. But God is love, forgiveness and grace. Those who believe in Him and repent of their sins have the promise of His Holy Spirit to guide us and show us the Way.

Patriotic?

Who are we?
One more supermarket story. The 2014 calendars are out. Can we learn something about Americans by what kinds of calendars they buy? Here were some titles I noticed in just one display of calendars:
Jesus Calling
God Bless America
Psalms: Anthems of Praise
Joyful Heart
America
Keepers of the light
Garden of Grass
Parenting
Country Music Hall of Fame
Nature's Grace
And that doesn't even include all the calendars featuring cute kittens and puppies! Yes, I did see one Maxim calendar featuring a nearly bare-chested person who did not look one bit happy.
I admit I live in the suburbs. Perhaps all the smutty calendars are reserved for the inner city bookstores. Or is it just the kind of people who buy calendars? Maybe calendar-buying people are more religious and patriotic than non-calendar buyers? Or people who buy calendars as gifts buy religious and patriotic calendars?
