In such troubling times as these, what would be the words that you want to hear? Gasoline prices have dropped to under $2 a gallon, Covid has been eradicated, groceries prices are dropping as fast as they rose, Russia withdraws from Ukraine, a Peace Treaty has been signed by all the nations, a cure for cancer has been found, etc. All of these would sure sound good, and with it comes the visions of hope that could be restored to all of us.
Before our first child Lee, was born, I was shopping in the baby section, at what I thought, at the time was a fancy store, where I found a soft, adorable brown teddy bear with a red bow around his neck and as a bonus when you wound it up, it played music and its head turned.

Jeremiah 30: 2 “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Write in a book all the words I have spoken to you.” Over the years I’ve found myself hurrying throughout most days and finally realized I was missing some very important parts of my life by trying to accomplish too many things.

Independence Day focuses on the courage of many Americans who fought against Great Britain in the Revolutionary War and with much blood-shed declared the victory and helped establish this great nation. On July fourth, 1776, the Second Continental Congress, meeting in Philadelphia, declared the sovereignty of the United States of America as they signed the Declaration of Independence which is recognized as our nations birthday.
