"It is our duty to endeavor always to promote the general good; to do to all as we would be willing to be done by were we in their circumstances; to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly before God. These are some of the laws of nature which every man in the world is bound to observe, and which whoever violates exposes himself to the resentment of mankind, the lashes of his own conscience, and the judgement of Heaven. This plainly shows that the highest state of liberty subjects us to the law of nature and the government of God."

• Samuel West, On the Right to Rebel Against Governors, 1776

Please pray for our Armed Forces standing in harm's way around the world, and for their families ~ especially the families of those who have fallen and granted their lives in defense of American liberty.
