Happy 4th of July Everyone - Celebrate Freedom

Celebrate freedom


Freedom is the great enabler of opportunity. When you are free to act in accordance with your most treasured values and interests, anything you can imagine is possible.

Essential to freedom is responsibility. It is by accepting and exercising full responsibility over every aspect of your life that you become truly free to live and fulfill your own unique vision.

Freedom carries with it great power. Responsibility keeps that power focused in a positive and productive direction.

Freedom, lovingly tempered with responsibility, has produced many great and wonderful things. Even more wonderful is the fact that freedom's best rewards are yet to come.

For in freedom there is endless promise. With freedom, the possibilities for goodness and fulfillment are always growing more abundant.

Celebrate freedom and, more importantly, creatively put it to good use in your own special way. With your life, uncover and bring to life some of freedom's treasures that have never been seen before.

-- Ralph Marston


This Canadian is grateful for a wonderful neighbour to our south whose presence ensures my freedom too.

Happy July 4th everyone! Let freedom reign.

How fitting for me that today is my first day of "freedom". God truly has a plan for me.
