Military families and Independence Day

Independence Day for Military Families

This holiday is forever linked to honor and sacrifice. These people are my friends, my community, my support and the hope of the future. I’ve watched as these scenarios have played out before my very eyes. In my heart, the phrase, the home of the free and the brave is real people, making real sacrifices.

God and man and time.

The difference between man and God is time. We cannot escape it, and sooner or later we all run out of it. For God there has never been an hour or a moment or a second, no beginning, no end, no time.

I bet you have fun family Fourth of July traditions and hometown hoopla planned as well. But, in the midst of all the backyard barbecues, patriotic parades and fabulous fireworks, I hope you’ll take a minute to pray.
