I love America. Yep! That's what I said but it's not because I am Davey the Patriot. I love America because God put me here. If God put me here then I have to be grateful. I know how self-made and self indulgent this country can be but I also see some good things. The one thing that impresses me the most is "Freedom". Yes, our freedom allows everyone of us to have opinions and even some very bad ones at that (but that's my opinion). God and America are the same in that respect. God has given us freedom as well and He sees how we mess things up and still loves us and never gives up on us. The United States tries to mimic God with all kinds of political influence. It certainly not a perfect system but it's probably the best of the worst. The perfect government is a righteous monarchy. Yep! A kingdom led by a perfectly righteous King. That form of government will eventually rule the world for all eternity. No more human checks and balances, infighting and political bickering.
The United States looks very selfish and caught up in itself by much of the world. We look that way because we have not always been responsible with our freedom. I really get upset with the "God Bless America" thing sometimes. He has already blessed us beyond our wildest dreams. I want America to bless God but you know what. It's our choice! We actually have the greatest opportunity on the planet. We are free to choose by God and we are free to choose by our country.
There are attacks on our freedom all the time. There are imbalances and prejudice for sure in the USA but we are still free. I cannot imagine what it would be like not to be free. Our tax system makes you wonder sometimes but all in all we can make our own way in this country. Have we drifted away from God with our freedom? Probably, and that will always cost us as a nation and yes, the Lord wants nations to acknowledge Him just like he wants individuals to acknowledge Him. We have squandered so much with our liberty. We are not perfect by any means but I'm glad that I live here. I really do love baseball and apple pie.

About Me
- Davey Buhl
- I am semi-retired and very involved in seeking God on how He wants me to finish the final chapters to my life. My 20's were spent pursuing a career in rockin' roll music. I recorded both in New York and Nashville in the late 60's and early 70's. I cried out to God for help in 1970 and He came and rescued me and turned my world upside down. I was forever changed by His presence. After my meeting with the Lord, I returned home to West Virginia and got married in 1971. I raised three great children. They are all married and I now have two grand children. My occupation over the years has been in the insurance business and at the same time heavily involved in ministry. I've done some church planting. I just recently finished a two year stint as a Men's pastor at a large non-denominational church in the north hills of Pittsburgh. I love the Lord, I love my family and I love Pittsburgh Sports. I have some history now and want to share my experiences and the things that I have discovered along the way.
