Happy 4th of July!...

As I prayed myself to sleep last night, the last thing I remember praying about was our country - thinking about the 4th of July Bar-b-ques, parades, fireworks ... thinking that's not all we should be thinking about as we celebrate the 4th of July. We need to remember why we have a '4th of July,' and never take our freedoms for granted. I think I have in the past, but I don't want to be guilty of thinking that way anymore. We still need to take a stand to keep our freedom and to take the responsibility of our freedoms - both personal and national, seriously. And above all else pray for our country, for those who are in leadership positions, for those who serve in the military ... for us as citizens. Happy 4th of July and God Bless America!
