Two days and counting. Will have to work a half day that morning, but the plan is to hit the road taking my mother and aunt to ‘ol Blue Hole Spring. Set up a day tent, grill some hot dogs, swim a bit in the ice cold water (exactly what my overheated body as of late needs), maybe even fly-fish A River Runs Through It-style (great movie by the way). Wrap up the day at a firework show back in T-town. Such is the plan.
I’m reminded that it is part of our duties as Catholics to be patriotic. To not retreat into the deep woods like anarchist libertarians, but to give continued support to those elected or apppointed officials, and those running for office for the first time, who either inadvertently or deliberately are promoting the Social Kingship of Christ.
That is the unity between Christ and His Church and government and public society.
That’s what I’m reminded of when I think of how our President has been used by the hand of God, in some significant measure at least, to help restore all things to Christ in this country.
Anyways, we’re getting close to the 4th of July, our national day of rightful patriotism.
