Oh, I am not talking about freedom from Great Britain, but freedom from our sins,
freedom to worship God.
Freedom is a Liberty we all to often take for granted.

As you celebrate may it be done with a heart of gratitude, and with a humility that except for God's Grace, we could have been born into poverty, war, famine,
or just into despair.

So eat and have with family and friends and may God grant all of you a greater freedom than you already have!

Happy Independence Day!

Thanks, eh!

When I left home at 6:50 to be at Kroger when they opened, it was not raining...so girlfriend here wore sandals.

I was in the store long enough to pick up 2 bags of apples (it was requested I take Felicity's Apple Pies) and 3 other items...couldn't have been in there 10 minutes, came out and it was pouring down rain.

I mean, the streets are near flooded...it's pouring!!

So now Sis. Barb is drenched...oh well...time to start the pies...

"Ragged Old Flag"
By John R. Cash
(C) 1974 House of Cash, Inc.

I walked through a county courthouse square,
On a park bench an old man was sitting there.
I said, "Your old courthouse is kinda run down."
He said, "Naw, it'll do for our little town."
I said, "Your old flagpole has leaned a little bit,
And that's a Ragged Old Flag you got hanging on it."

He said, "Have a seat," and I sat down.
"Is this the first time you've been to our little town?"
I said, "I think it is." He said, "I don't like to brag,
But we're kinda proud of that Ragged Old Flag.

"You see, we got a little hole in that flag there when
Washington took it across the Delaware.
And it got powder-burned the night Francis Scott Key
Sat watching it writing Say Can You See.
And it got a bad rip in New Orleans
With Packingham and Jackson tuggin' at its seams.

"And it almost fell at the Alamo
Beside the Texas flag, but she waved on though.
She got cut with a sword at Chancellorsville
And she got cut again at Shiloh Hill.
There was Robert E. Lee, Beauregard, and Bragg,
And the south wind blew hard on that Ragged Old Flag.

"On Flanders Field in World War I
She got a big hole from a Bertha gun.
She turned blood red in World War II.
She hung limp and low by the time it was through.
She was in Korea and Vietnam.
She was sent where she was by her Uncle Sam.

"She waved from our ships upon the briny foam,
And now they've about quit waving her back here at home.
In her own good land here she's been abused --
She's been burned, dishonored, denied, and refused.

"And the government for which she stands
Is scandalized throughout the land.
And she's getting threadbare and wearing thin,
But she's in good shape for the shape she's in.
'Cause she's been through the fire before
And I believe she can take a whole lot more.

"So we raise her up every morning,
take her down every night.
We don't let her touch the ground
and we fold her up right.
On second thought, I do like to brag,
'Cause I'm mighty proud of that Ragged Old Flag."

My friend and her husband are in London right now. She emailed our pastor the other day and said that when they went to supper her husband was talking with the waitress. Without even thinking, he looked up at her and asked, "So do you guys have any kind of special celebrations or traditions here for the 4th of July?" LOL!!!! I guess the waitress just gave him the biggest DUH! stare you can even imagine!! (while he crawled under the table once he realized what he'd said and to whom)
