Independence Day

Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.

Psalm 33:12

No matter how many people try to take God out of our country, I am thinking He is here to stay! Almost every courtroom, piece of currency or governmental writing makes mention of God or our "Creator" or otherwise.

We are privileged enough to live in America, to have our freedom of speech and right to pursue happiness. These privileges are precious and should not be taken for granted. The freedom to express opinions regarding our government, the freedom to practice whatever religion you want without the threat of death or persecution.

Lets not forget the sacrifices that have been made by so many men and women who have given their lives for our freedom. I know we all hear this everywhere around this time of year. Truly though, take a moment and consider the thousands of people who have suffered, died or given up loved ones so that you and I can have the families that we have and do the job that we do and have the opinions that we have. As you are reading this men and women are fighting for what America stands for, which is freedom!! Take a moment and say a little prayer for these brave individuals that so graciously take our freedom and happiness on their shoulders every day.

Have a wonderful 4th!!!!!

We are going to see some fireworks and the movie, Cars!!!!!
