This is the time to celebrate being Americans

Freedom Rings

Starry skies, and moonlit nights,
such beauty in our land...
we're so thankful for these blessings,
that come from God's own hand.
The right to vote, to have a choice,
In a nation proud and strong-
and on this Independence day,
we sing our Freedom Song.
We salute our flag so proudly,
and thank God for the chance to say...
"there's no country we love better,
than the good ol' USA!"
Today we'll gather together,
with our family and our friends...
giving thanks to our Heavenly Father
for the blessings that He sends.
Thank you, Lord, for America,
a place where we can pray...
we give You all the glory,
on this Independence day.

"Historic Photo" of the Week

I saw this big ship on the river last Sunday during the KITE SAIL event. I never tire of seeing these ships. I always wonder where they are going? Where are they from? When will they be home? These are not cruise ships. I doubt they have a casino and bar. I would not like a "life at sea" but I do think about it, for a few moments, when I see one, then reality sets in and the moment is over. I do understand this is a great way to see the Mediterranean though. Those ships will have a bar, casino and a decent steak.

I'm very fortunate to stay as busy as I am. With one new fully responsive website almost ready for launch, another one I hope to get design approval on today and another one waiting in the on deck circle I'm very happy and a grateful man. Clue to the one on deck. Can you guess who?
