Independence Day - July 4th 2006

9:18 AM, Jul. 5, 2006 .. 8 comments .. Link

My granddaughter Holly who has spent most of her life in Romania didn’t get to learn about the 4th of July traditional fireworks.  See her mother's article here: http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/KarenW/

I watched the Capital Fourth, The Boston Pops and part of Macy’s Fireworks.  Ours here in Decatur fizzled out before the finale because of a misfire that started a small fire. The Fire Department then shut them down.

We praise the Lord that the Shuttle got up ok.

I had a great time watching from the comfort of my home, it was hot here in Decatur, AL

 

It sure is great to be in a country where we can celebrate with family and friends and not be beaten, jailed or killed because they failed to comply with some rule concerning head dress or dress or men and women embracing in a public place.  Or just being identified as a Christian.

I saw a wonderful video clip of a soldier and a young lady kissing in the park during the fireworks.  Let Freedom Ring!  God Bless America! 

Here are some links useful for your history, government, and social studies: http://www.eadshome.com/QuotesoftheFounders.htm

 

Well I have some Gideon work to do, some letters to take to the Post Office, and some calls to make.  Have a great day! God Bless. Hear some songs here: http://usinfo.state.gov/usa/infousa/facts/symbols/songs.htm

 

God Bless you all,
