Tumultuous Times, Happy July 4!
Today is a very special celebration in the life of our country-- that comes at a time of terrific internal strife and tension over what kind of country we want to become. My vote...that we continue to strive for a "more perfect union," in our stretch to reach toward "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." No other country on the face of this earth has set up a form of Government that so encourages every citizen in this land to be the best...they can be. Perfect, no. But idealistic, resolute, resilient, determined, yes. Today is our day. I am still in awe over the work our Founding Fathers were able to achieve. I'm reading about it, again, now, in a book called, "Founding Brothers," by Joseph J. Ellis. Recommended. So-- may you be safe, joyful and similarly determined as were our founders to live INTO not away from our Country's ideals. Let's remember together what this document is all about.
