Fourth of July

Happy 4th of July, everyone! Thank God for a country where we are blessed with resources, freedoms of every sort, and the ability to express ourselves through the selection of our government.

I'm grateful that I can come from the cycle of poverty and go to college to make something of myself.

I'm grateful that I can go to church and not worry that I'll be persecuted for my choice.

I'm grateful that as a woman, I can walk down the street without it being considered a crime.

I'm grateful I am not considered a piece of chattel.

I'm grateful that men and women in the prime of their youth volunteer to represent me and my well-being in war.

I'm grateful that God chose to plant me in this country, with all of it flaws, because there is no better place on Earth to live.

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!!!!!!
