I like to run this every once in a while.
Just think how important it is for us that 238 years ago, a
group of very brave people said we’re not willing to put up with this anymore
and we are declaring our independence from Great Britain. They were willing to
fight and die for their beliefs and their freedom. While I often get frustrated with our
government and our politics (and wonder if we should declare our independence from Washington), I merely have to look around Almost Heaven South
or reflect a few minutes about the Middle East, North Korea, and many other
places where people suffer under dictatorships or anarchy, or live in abject
poverty, to make me very thankful to those brave souls of 1776.
So let's all enjoy our Independence Day and more
importantly our independence and thanks for stopping by.

Well said Larry. I often think of other countries with their dictators, poverty, refugee camps, and wars and count my blessings. We are indeed blessed to live in the land of the free and the home of the brave. Happy 4th of July to you and Beverly.
