First blog. Woke up this morning thinking about freedom--about the privilege of being an American, where freedom is part of everyday life. In a culture where actors, athletes, and politicians are touted as heroes--maybe the real heroes are the young men and women who serve our country each day, who do the job of protecting the freedom we enjoy. Today, it would do us good to imagine some of their faces. They are so dedicated. They don't complain. They just do their jobs. Regardless of your political bent, today as you head to the lake or fire up the barbeque (for grilled veggies, of course!), spend a moment or two in gratitude. These are the true heroes.
Thomas Jefferson: "The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time; the hand of force may destroy, but cannot disjoin them."
Next blog is about spiritual freedom. And a recap and some reflections on the message Sabbath. Happy July 4th!
