My friends, some of you are here in the States and are getting ready to celebrate this country's birthday. If you are traveling, may you be safe in your comings and goings and may you find you home and your belongs just as they were when you left.

And may you remember sometime this weekend what this country is supposed to be all about. Freedom.

If you have the time this short Youtube video is a great reminder of what we're all striving for.

To those of you outside the U.S., may you also have a great weekend and blessed day.


"Democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention, have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property,and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths." - James Madison
