God bless America and other such patriotism

i actually wrote this yesterday for the 4th of july but here it is: it's kinda been a while hasn't it? wow, i am officially a slacker. that's ok though, i'm american and therefore i am allowed to sit on my butt and take my wealth for granate. it's july 4th and with that comes the need to be patriotic and excited about our beloved country. let us celebrate our laziness, let us celebrate our selfishness. let us celebrate our unappreciated wealth. let us celebrate our freedoms that we don't fully take advantage of. let us celebrate our rights that are slowly being pryed from our relaxed hands. guys, what the heck are we doing!? this is ridiculous! we as americans have everything other countries want! do you ever wonder why they're always watching us? its because we have the power and freedoms that they want so desperately! so what do we do with it? nothing. we sit in front of our computers and play with myspace, we sleep for 12 hours and then watch tv, we go to our prestigious jobs at target to make our 7.50 an hour and spend it on worthless things. this is so completely wrong! just hearing from blake and ivan has really made me realize how ridiculous all of this is! seriously! we have so much and we don't even realize it, even compared to the russians who have become extremely americanized, we have sooo much! why do we live like this? we don't take the time to realize what we have, embrass it, and use it for something more than ourselves. guys, america is a country founded on God, how many other countries can say that? we need to use it for His glory and stop wasting it! guys, God has so much more for us and this country but we're too lazy to do anything about it! we have the power of the almighty God inside of us! the power that created this entire earth is inside of you, and what is it doing? it's crying out to you to use it! embrass it, take it for what it is guys! He's given it to us for a reason, let's not waste it. today as we're watching fireworks and eating BBQ i challenge you to get off your butts and get on your knees for yourselves and for our country.
