Chapter 13 of Sierra’s Story with Shellie’s Thoughts on Fallen Man, Flags, and Freedom

Hey friends! I hope life is treating you kindly. This week’s newsletter is going to be brief. That dislocated finger I told y’all about last week turned out to be a bad fracture. I’m endeavoring to type with said finger buddy taped to the next one and enclosed in a hand brace. Tomorrow morning I’ll find out if surgery is required. God is still good. He is always GOOD. He can’t be anything less, but typing is a challenge so I’m going to paste in some freedom thoughts I wrote on social this week along with the show notes and then I’ll need to bid you farewell for now. I wanted to share my recipe for Mexican Chicken with you, but alas, it will have to wait!

 

What Cubans Know About Freedom

They wave our flag in Cuban streets. The very Stars and Stripes so many in our country despise and disrespect. And why? Why do they see the hope of personal freedom within her shores when so many Americans don’t?

Because they have none.

Because our Cuban neighbors know too well what happens when all power is centralized in one place and government controls every aspect of their lives. They’re living the reality of the Communist Socialist Marxist utopia that failed every single country that has ever succumbed to it and now threatens to take down our own.

Mankind will never create the perfect sinless country because humans have a fallen sin nature. What we can do is to continue to strive for “a more perfect union” without destroying the one we’ve been blessed to inherit and inhabit.

Jesus is our Living Hope. I’m appealing to Him for the future and peace of Cuba and America. Join me.

Hugs,
Shellie
