Being an American is something I wanted to be for a very long time, probably since I saw the moon landing when I was a child.
But I was also a brat. I used to belong to a gang that went looking for fights with other gangs.
From faith, hope, and love, the virtues of religion referring to God, there arises a double act which bears on the spiritual communion exercised between God and us; the hearing of the word and prayer.
