Haven't been here recently -- this has been a very busy time for me -- all good!!

I had to take just a few minutes to wish all my readers a happy and safe July 4th and to suggest  that we all say a prayer before we start out busy day of celebration, for those men and women who are serving our country. Especially for those who are in harms way across the world. If we don't have a family member or close friend in the military, I think it is very easy to forget what these patriots are doing for US!! Without them, here and across the globe, what kind of harm would we find ourselves and our loved ones exposed to right here in the good old USA? I shudder to think of it. So please, for or against the war in Iraq doesn't matter -- we have to be FOR the people who volunteered to protect us -- how can you not? Say a prayer and ask for their safety, say a prayer and ask for their loved ones to be comforted until they come home, say a prayer and ask for a quick and peaceful end to the war. A few seconds of your time -- it's not too much to ask -- it's not too much to do -- it is a right and just thing to give thanks to those protecting our freedom on this day of celebration.

Now go have a good time -- be safe -- and May God continue to Bless America. And may America thank God!!
