| Interests | American History and Christian Theology Greetings all...My name is Norm Rust - I am a follower of Jesus Christ and my earthly passion is American history...I graduated with honors from UMBC with a BS in history, class of '85...It is truly tragic that so many of our citizens know virtually nothing about the marvelous historical heritage of America, the land Lincoln called "the last, best hope of earth." This God-kissed land has been the champion, defender, and protector of freedom both at home and around the world. Despite the problems, faults, and shortcomings of her people and despite the distance which still needs to be traveled to reach the full realization of her ideals, lady liberty's torch still is held high above the most blessed nation the world has ever known. This is not something for Americans to be prideful about - in fact, her people should be humbled, mindful of their responsibility to be proper stewards and sharers of such an inheritance. We have received it not because of our greatness, but because of God's sovereign choice...Our servant-like attitude will only help to honor the God who has so blessed and lead all to minister to those in need everywhere for all time...I share the following essay to remind us all that freedom is not free and that we must never forget the hall of heroes that wind back through the corridors of our history from this very day to the gangplank of the Mayflower...A great statesman once said that a nation is best judged not by the materials it creates or the power it has attained, but by the men it produces...It's an honor to share with you the stories that have, in many cases, been long forgotten...No more...Please pause to ponder, to listen, and to remember... |
