For all of us who live in the USA, we all know what is just around the corner. That's right, some rockets' red glare and bombs bursting in air time.
Well, more importantly it is a great time for us to remember what happened over 200 years ago that changed the world forever. The birth of this Great Country. For some of us this brings back memories of ol', commitments made to those we love, backpacking trips to the middle of nowhere, neighborhood BBQ's, fireworks gone awry, city extravaganzas and I am sure a whole lot more.
It is a time that brings us together as a Nation, as a State, as a Community, as a Neighborhood. It's a time known to us as the 4th of July and it is so close you can already smell the BBQ lighter fluid and see those carnival tents sprout up all over the city selling fireworks.
So in the spirit of celebration lets make it extra special and do something a little different. Something some of us haven't done since our high school days. Lets all brush up on some good ol' fashion patriotism and turn a few minutes over to reading our Bill of Rights and Constitution and reflect on our current state. Maybe we'll all learn something new. Maybe it will ignite an explosion of activism. Maybe it will make you smile. Or maybe it won't do anything at all.
Either way it is important for the continued success of our Country for every citizen to have an understanding of the laws that govern us as Americans and be vigilant to how our government of today stays true to these laws.
Whats that old saying. Oh, yes. "All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing."
Have a happy and safe 4th of July.
See you on the mission field!
