Happy Fourth of July. Do you have big plans? I'm going to sit at the top of the parking garage at the local Nordstrom's to watch the fireworks and attend a garage party benefit for the Y. We'll be able to see the fireworks at the beach without being devoured by bug pests - I hope.

Let's see, what are we celebrating?

This is the intro to Sunday's church talk. I thought it was a good answer to my own question:

"

Our nation celebrates its birthday on July 4. Our founders declared our freedom then, but still had to earn it, with 8 years and many battles, not all of them military.

The founders discovered that it is one thing to declare freedom, quite another thing to experience freedom, and quite another thing to express freedom.

Let us express our freedom in terms of being tolerant of others, of forgiveness, of choosing love over fear whenever we can, which is many times a day. " Rev. Phil

Freedom is not doing what you want to do, but not having to do what you don't want to do.
