Happy 4th of July!

I hope all of you had a safe and fun 4th. I know we did. We BBQ bologna and hot dogs (BBQ baloney is popular around here, I don't eat it) and all the other stuff to go with it. To end the evening we went to our local high school and watched some awesome fireworks. All in all it was a great holiday.

This is one of those holidays that really gets to me. When I get a moment to think about the what this day really means, and how scary it must have been to think about the consequences of their actions (the founding fathers) I get chills. John Adams was on all day to day on HBO and although I never got to set down and watch any of it I still feel a connection with these great men because of that mini series. Today also marks the death of both Adams and Thomas Jefferson. Two awesome, visionary leaders. Thank God for bringing all those great men and women together at one time to lead us. I pray that something that awesome happens again.
