I am confident most everyone in America today is aware of what is happening in Iran these days with the elections (or lack thereof). In America, and most civilized democracies, I think we take simple freedoms, like the right to vote, too lightly.

Take me for example. When I was struggling with my debt over ten (10) years ago, there were not many companies I could go turn to for help. Today, ten years later, there is a proliferation of companies that provide these debt relief services. It is truly capitalism at its best. Take something that works really well, while helping people out at the same time. Nationwide Debt Reduction has been doing this for the Christian community for some time now.

Now, another example. I had a late flight last week that did not get back into town until after midnight. Not wanting to call my wife for a ride, I elected to take the short taxi ride. My driver was a native of Iraq. He had been her for a little over 5 years. So I asked him, how it feels to live here versus there. He told me, “I am ready to go home.” As much as he loved America and the freedoms we have, he told me Iraq no has those same freedoms. He said, “you never read about it in the newspapers here, however the schools the hospitals, the roads, everything is now so much better than with Saddam Hassan in power. We have the same freedoms as you have now.”
