Per Fidem Intrepidus means "Fearless Through Faith". My courage isn't my own, it comes from the Holy Spirit, it's my faith in God and my personal savior Christ Jesus that calms my fears and allows me to move forward in this fallen world. Personally I'm afraid of a lot of stuff, but having the faith that Jesus adopted me as his little, sin filled, brother keeps me going.
Early morning on July 4th I'm sitting on the patio enjoying coffee and watching the dragon flies and butterflies drift in the warm morning sunlight when suddenly the church bells from far off started the beautiful patriotic hymn "My Country 'tis Of Thee". I'm suddenly put in mind of softer, sweeter days; small town parades, picknics in the park, a brass band on the gazebo, and people who love God as well as their freedom - have a blessed and glorious Independence Day
