Education
This past Sunday was the the Fourth of July. I made an effort to greet people by wishing them a “Happy Independence Day”. I want people to remember that it is not the date that we are celebrating, but our country’s declaration of independence from England. I feel that most people forget this. We forget…
Let Freedom Ring
This is the Thursday before the Fourth of July weekend. The weekend that the United States of America celebrates it’s independence from England. This had me wondering this morning if England has an independence day that it celebrates. If they do, it must go back to the time of the Roman Empire. Things have really…

Remember
Earlier this evening someone reminded me that today was Thursday, oh right, I need to post on the Gratefulness Series. So I am Grateful that there are people in my life who help me remember. I don’t mind being reminded because I can be forgetting.
It is Good
This past weekend was a fantastic weekend! I did not want it to end. It was spent with a very special friend that I had not seen for several weeks and we just had a great time, working, playing and just relaxing. It ended too soon. Yesterday and today I have been working with a…
