Praise Anthems

Decent Essays
This is one of my go to praise anthems. Every time I say these words and reflect on how majestic God is, I am simply in awe. I look around and the world around me and specifically the trees, grass, fall blooms, and birds and animals. I am amazed at the beauty and uniqueness of all that God has created. My kids (mostly me) raise chickens in an urban area. This is a new adventure for us. We face many challenges in raising a flock of chickens in the middle of town, however we are doing quiet well. It did take at first some hard work and rescheduling of time and energy.

Yet, evolution hasn’t been shut down in schools across the US for the last 80 years. America has been built off of the belief in God and that is the way it has been over 241 years.

In 1931, George Padmore, a prominent African -American writer of the twentieth century wrote “The oppression of Negros assumes two distinct forms: on the one hand they are oppressed as a class, and on the other as a nation….. National (race) oppression assumes its most pronounced forms in the United States of America.”…
