dependence day.

Patrick Henry's words ("Give me liberty, or give me death"), while having been for the most part of my life something I was proud to think of, have started to taste sour. Don't you see that we have become slaves to that liberty? We would trade true Life for it, dying for that which will kill us slowly anyway by means of the hyper-individualism that plagues us as a result. We're going about it all backwards. Instead, in the reality of Good Friday and Easter Sunday, we find Jesus saying, "Take my liberty, give me death, so that Life may result."
