Why do we celebrate the 4th of July? I know that seems a stupid question but have you been listening to the people elected to congress in the last session? July 4, 1776 is the date inscribed on the Declaration of Independence. Because of that we call this Independence Day and even though the Progressive elites are doing all they can to limit our liberty, we still have a lot to celebrate. I urge you to stop and read the Declaration.
It starts,
When in the Course of human Events, it becomes necessary for one People to dissolve the Political Bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the Earth, the separate and equal Station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent Respect to the Opinions of Mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the Separation.
and goes on from there. I will post the document in a separate post. I urge you to read the entire thing today. You might even try a little exercise I had my middle school students do: Paraphrase the paragraph without using any of the key words. For instance, “When in the Course of human Events” could become, “all through history”.
We still have much to celebrate and be thankful for.

Amen.
