Hit play!  This song is better LOUD. Thank you, every one of you, who has served our country. Thank You! I am proud to be an American! Thank You for fighting for and defending our freedom. A special thanks to my dad who served in the US Navy. My Father-in-Law who served in the Army. My sister-in-law and brother-in-law who served in the Army. My brother-in-law who is serving in the US Air Force. FREEDOM In him and through faith in him we may approach God with  freedom  and confidence.  Eph 3:12 It is for  freedom  that Christ has set us free. Gal 5:1 Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves. Abraham Lincoln Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.

I have had a few interesting conversations with friends lately.  Amy was talking about how this beautiful pink blouse for work kept hopping into her Target shopping cart.  Emily mentioned when she walked by a jewelry counter at Nordstorm the sales lady beckoned her to just "play".  She tried on a stunning necklace that looked amazing on her and she came home with a catalog.  I was sharing ...
