July News

     On July 4, we remember when America adopted the Declaration of Independence from Great Britain in 1776.  Not only are we a free country, but we are also free individuals, free to have independent thoughts and beliefs.  We can choose to agree with others, our family and friends, our pastors and politicians.  Or, we can create our own opinions.
     Be truly free and independent.  Realize that we all have the right and responsibility to think for ourselves.  We should not remain dependent on others to make our decisions.  We are not obligated to keep the same opinions that we have  held in the past.  Value your independence.
     For many people, July provides time for vacations from school and work, time to change our routines and perhaps to have a change of scene or to take a trip to visit extended family.  After a vacation, we can feel refreshed and ready to go back to our everyday lives.
     Celebrate July!
