Independence Day

I posted this on Facebook but thought of sharing it on my blog too.

Fun times with family, enjoying perfect weather on the coast for the 4th! I am mindful of the important Liberties in our country’s great heritage. From earliest days, before the nation even formed, settlers came to American soil seeking opportunity, safety and freedom. Of late, First Amendment freedoms may be eroding. From Covid shutdowns, cancel culture and hate crime legislation, rights of free speech, press and assembly are in question. I hope the Independence joyfully celebrated by so many Americans last weekend will “yet wave.” (Yes, that’s an Australian flag flying off my brother-in-law’s boat, but the US flag proudly waves on the port side!)  Colossians 1:16-17

Wife, mother and grandmother, educator and someone who thinks about the things I observe. I am the daughter of a writer; my dad's career was in the field of journalism. More significantly, I am God's child, a person believing in Jesus Christ and in His timeless Word. Blogging is new to me but I feel like I've always had a pen in my hand. I jot notes in my planner, mark papers, underline verses, write many letters, and occasionally draft articles for work or church. When I am not holding a pen, I am probably cuddling a mug of coffee.
