					<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>It&#8217;s Another Podcast! (Or is it a rant?)</h3>
<p>I was going to write an article, but decided at the last minute to just sit down at the microphone and record a podcast.  This one may very well be labeled as a rant.  Some people might not like it at all.</p>
<p>I would really like see your comments after you listen to the whole thing.  It&#8217;s not that long (16:45) I really hope it makes you think and pray for your country.  We really do need God&#8217;s help.</p>
<p>Please leave a comment regardless of how you feel after hearing this podcast.</p>

<p><strong>America (My Country, &#8216;Tis of Thee) </strong><br />
My country,&#8217; tis of thee,<br />
sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing;<br />
land where my fathers died,<br />
land of the pilgrims&#8217; pride,<br />
from every mountainside let freedom ring!</p>
<p>My native country, thee,<br />
land of the noble free, thy name I love;<br />
I love thy rocks and rills,<br />
thy woods and templed hills;<br />
my heart with rapture thrills, like that above.</p>
<p>Let music swell the breeze,<br />
and ring from all the trees sweet freedom&#8217;s song;<br />
let mortal tongues awake;<br />
let all that breathe partake;<br />
let rocks their silence break, the sound prolong.</p>
<p>Our fathers&#8217; God, to thee,<br />
author of liberty, to thee we sing;<br />
long may our land be bright<br />
with freedom&#8217;s holy light;<br />
protect us by thy might, great God, our King.</p>
