Happy Fourth of July!

 Happy 4th of July!  

Let's take a moment to remember who made this land free.  

"It is impossible to govern rightly without God and the Bible."

                                                                                          George Washington

"I believe in God and in his Wisdom and Benevolence: and I cannot conceive that such a being could make such a Species as the human merely to live and die on this earth.  If I did not believe a future State I should believe in no God.  This Universe, this all, would appear with all it's swelling Pomp, a boyish Fire Work."  

                                                                  John Adams, in a letter to Thomas Jefferson

"The highest glory of the American Revolution was this: It connected, in one indissoluble bond, the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity."

                                                                                           John Quincy Adams

"And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country."

                                 From President John F. Kennedy's Inaugural Address (Jan. 20, 1961)  

I'll probably post pictures of what we are going to do tomorrow sometime.  Until then, enjoy your Independence Day!

Wow.

Yesterday, here's what I read in my science book:

"Do you think every single seed that a plant produces will grow into a new plant?  No, not every one will.  The same is true when it comes to sharing Christ with others.  Sometimes, you will share Christ with others,  and it won't matter to them.  Nevertheless, we should still continue to plant seeds, because some of them will certainly grow and produce more seeds that will be planted to grow and produce more and more and more.  One day, when you get to heaven, you will be able to see all the work that was done through you because you were faithful to plant the one seed that was needed."

Today, here's what my copy work/penmanship lesson was:

"Die when I may, I want it said of me that I plucked a weed and planted a flower wherever I thought a flower would grow."

                                                                 Abraham Lincoln

Quote For the Day

"...but friendship is precious, not only in the shade, but in the sunshine of life; and thanks to a benevolent arrangement of things, the greater part of life is sunshine." 

                                                                 Thomas Jefferson

"Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work." 

-Thomas Edison
