July 4th reflection
« on: July 02, 2011, 07:49:12 PM »
On Monday, this wonderful country celebrates 235 years of Independence. As we bustle along in our daily lives, it is important to think back and reflect how it must have felt that day, when we finally declared our independence. People came to not only to escape the loss of freedom of religion, but start a new life. From 13 colonies, people traveled and  pushed forever westward and more land was claimed into what we now have of 50 united states.
Monday, we together, will embark on another year's adventure, full of trials and tribulations, joys and sorrows, victories and losses. I say unto you, HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA!!!!
The sea is treacherous, but an even hand on the keel brings it safely to port.

yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery - today is a gift- that's why it's called the "present"
