Independence Day

"When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary"

So began, on July 4, 1776, the revolution that guaranteed our independence today. We are so blessed. From tyranny and despotism to laws created by the people for the people. Three branches of government that balance each other, and have survived the test of time.

How true this simple statement, now more than 200 years old, is:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

Take time today, and often, to reflect and enjoy this independence that is the envy of the world.
