What is a Patriot?

1/4/2023

"The Patriot".
I love this movie! 
I know - it is "just a movie".
But it is a great historical movie.
​And from what I have read, researched and studied - not far removed from historical facts. 

I have been doing some research into what it means to be a "Patriot". 

PATRIOT - a person who loves, supports and defends his or her country and its interests with devotion.
A person who vigorously supports his or her country and its way of life.

"Patriots" is a name that is often used to describe the early American colonists.
Those that rebelled against the English government.
They represented an array of social, economic, ethnic and racial backgrounds.

The "Oxford English Dictionary" has this definition of a "Patriot" ...
"A person actively opposing enemy forces occupying his or her country; a member of a resistance movement, a freedom fighter."

In Britian 1773 "patriot" had a negative connotation.
(And to many it does today as well.)
A "Patriot" for America was first a "traitor" to England ...

There are many enemies of life and liberty - both foreign and domestic.
​Those enemies that attack from without, and those that attack from within.
May God grant us the eyes to see and the ears to hear all attacks!!!
May God grant us the courage to stand up and be PATRIOTS for America!!!

    Why "Stay the Course"?

    Stay
    *to spend some time in a place or a situation
    *to continue to be
           *to hold out or endure
    *to keep up
         *to stop or halt
       *to hold back

    *
    to rest

    Stay the course 
    *to persevere

     *endure to completion
    *to continue doing something - even when it is difficult
    (Based on the literal meaning of a ship continuing on in the same direction even under bad conditions.)

    I believe in America - right or wrong.
    I believe that America is the best place on earth to live and to grow and to learn.
    But I also believe that America as individuals and as a Nation needs to return to her roots and to 
    STAY THE COURSE!

    We are the UNITED States of America.
    Let's STAY THE COURSE of being UNITED. ​

God is God over the storms in my life & world -
and I am His.
Trusting in Him. Holding to His Promises as He holds me.

Learning to laugh, to love, & to live ... again - without Rick, but with God

Life goes on ... even when we don't want it to.

Great grief is indicative of a great Love.

Rick, my Sweetheart.
Margaret, his Beloved.
Always & Forever.
