Happy July 5th

Well, the family has yet survived another 4th of July and although we still have Constitution Day in Puerto Rico and Pioneer Days in Utah we are breathing a sigh of relief. This was actually the first July 4th I have been in in quite some time and we enjoyed a day with family and a night filled with fireworks.

We are preparing for the upcoming travel ahead as I leave for Canada in about two weeks with others to come. Please pray for comfort for the kids and patience and sanity for Todd. Sorry such a short post but I will leave you with this quoteon this July 5th.

It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. ... I am well aware of the Toil and Blood and Treasure, that it will cost Us to maintain this Declaration, and support and defend these States. Yet through all the Gloom I can see the Rays of ravishing Light and Glory. I can see that the End is more than worth all the Means. And that Posterity will tryumph in that Days Transaction, even altho We should rue it, which I trust in God We shall not. -John Adams
