It is great to live in a free nation like America.  What a privilege to be able to worship without fear in the Land of the Free.  Let us not forget that freedom is not free.  It was won with the lives of our brave men and woman who have fought throughout history.  Our forefathers won freedom many years ago and thank God that freedom has continued.  On this Independence Day I am thankful for our soldiers.  Our prayers are with them.  As we have BBQ’s and fireworks, they are in the line of enemy fire, ensuring that we maintain our independence.

I am also thankful for the greatest of freedom.  Freedom that is found in Jesus Christ.  He whom the Son has set free is free indeed!
