4th of July

The 4th of July should be spent with people that you love. It is a day that is marked on my mental calendar every year of my life. How many fourth of July's do I remember? All of them.

Last night, I spent the first one alone, that I can remember. Redwood City had a nice show. About like at Royals stadium on fireworks night.

When I was a kid, my parents told me that all of the fireworks were for my birthday. Now the years go by, and I remember every town I lived in and every fireworks show that we saw.

I stood last night with 100 people in silence, plus a few quiet ooos and ahhhs. We humans are mesmerized by fireworks.

Well, let's take a moment to thank God for our country and for our families. Later today, I am flying home.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
