To many people here and around the world she has become The Apple of Their Eyes. Only a few were aware of her birth and her labors would be long and painful. Her future, one of uncertainty, was wrought with struggle. There would be many battles ahead and many mistakes would be made before she could even stand on her own. Her own people would challenge her and engage in open conflict as she struggled to find her place in the world and among her people. Like all things obtained through struggle and strife, she bore those marks with pride, never losing sight of her belief in God and in the love she had for all people. Why she even sent those of her own to die for others and to stand in the gap between the oppressed and those that sought what she had and through example offered freely to the world.

Today sadly she is threaten and abused by those who would seek to marginalize and destroy her very existence because it stands in their way… The very foundations of her strength are being eroded by indifference and disrespect. Churches that once stood in the grace of her benevolence now struggle to find a place among her people. The law we as a society live by, which is a product of our doing…is now simply a mater of convince. Kindness, love and tolerance are buzz words in the reality of the day…just words…no action. There is no such thing as difference of opinion…or civility as her people tear into each other to maintain a false sense of comfort in the value of their agendas. 

Less said the better I guess…Oh by the way if you haven’t guessed yet the identity of the lady…

God Bless LADY LIBERTY and the USA.
