Recognize

Holy crap. So, we put together the dance right? Yeah, well it looked so dang good! It was slow to get moving but all dances are so it was pretty normal. By 9ish things were really great. People were loving it, and there were a number of really really good costumes, including mine and Nicole's. I got to wear my dad's old Air Force coat, which I thought was really cool. Nicole found a nurse's outfit that was seriously perfect. We were looking great!

The highlight of the night was when we stopped dancing and everyone stopped to acknowledge the giant American flag that we hung on the wall. We read a poem called I Am Your Flag that is positively amazing. So great. After, we all said the Pledge of Allegiance. It was so powerful to have group of young people salute our flag and acknowledge our dedication to this country and the things that it stands for. It is such a wonderful blessing to live here. More and more I am recognizing that America is truly a place like no other. Despite the riffraff, this country is inspired of God. There is no other place that can make that claim.
