Just curious. Is the 4th of July significant to you in a spiritual or energetic way? sm

Or is it just another day for you?

I get very excited about this day as I think of (my observation only) how God guided our founding fathers to sever our ties from England and to create our nation as a unique land of practical freedom and opportunity. In my opinion, God left the birth of our nation in extremely capable hands and I am forever grateful for His guidance.

This kind of day carries a sense of urgent renewal to me both personally as well as nationally. As great as our nation is, we seem to be going through an adolescence or perhaps a midlife crisis that marks a turning point determining our eventual direction. I pray that our road is eventually for the better.

God bless America! And Happy Birthday!!
