Just a quick post to extend our blessing to each of you and your families wherever you may be today on this Independence Day 2008! May your celebrations be uplifting and your travels return you safely back to your individual homes.
We stayed home this year, and the annual parade in Friendswood was again held down the main street running through our town. We thankfully managed to avoid the congestion in order to accomplish other tasks on our list while we had a day off. In the afternoon, we had quite a good rain and wondered about the fireworks show planned for tonight. But not to worry, the sun is now shining and the earlier rainstorm will hopefully not cancel this other small town tradition which after all these years has turned out to be a really big deal. I think we will just view the fireworks from our front yard and watch the downtown fireworks show from the comfort of our own living room. We thank God and our servicemen and women for the freedom to do just that!
