Fourth of July is almost here and so is the I Love America Festival at the Boone County Fairgrounds. As I write this blog, I'm glancing at a copy of the Declaration of Independence hanging in my office. 56 men signed the original document. Most all of the men suffered great loss because of their stance for freedom. It's still true today -- "freedom isn't free".
During the month of July we are going to celebrate "Faith, Family, and Freedom" -- three core values which we believe make America great. I hope you will join us for the festival on the 4th and join us each Sunday as we celebrate America together.
July 5th, I will be speaking on the topic: "Why I Love America!" Maybe you should take some time this week and make a list of your favorite reasons why you love America. I'd love to hear them.
Here's my short list:
1. I met my wife in America.
2. We are free to worship God.
3. We are free to work where we want, when we want.
4. We can choose to live where we want.
5. We get to vote in elections.
6. There is still justice for all under the law.
Well, I'm off to get some banners and t-shirts ready to go for the event. O yeah, I need to get some ribbons for the Kid's Duathlon.
See ya Saturday at the festival.
Pastor Tom
