On the 4th...

We declared our independence from Britain....

And our dependence on God.



Not one of the signers of the Decleration of Independence, or of the Constitution, believed that there was NOT a God.  They all knew and believed in Him, even if they didn't trust their life to Him.  They founded this nation on principles first found in the Bible.  Our Nation has gone through many trials, but we are still standing.  But we must fight for our Nation, we must fight to uphold our values.

"Well there's pride in every American heart
and its time we stand and say.
That I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.


And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA." -God Bless the USA


Anyway I just wanted to take a moment and say:

 Happy Independence Day

Because I'm proud that I have the privilege to live and breathe in this country.  I am very proud to be an American. 

God Bless,
Kristin

P.S. This is one of my favorite poems below, enjoy. :)
