I was thinking today about just what Independence Day means and trying to explain it to the younger ones. Stella didn't quite grasp the concept. Van and I were watching the news and every story was about the higher gas prices and the economy. Ross wrote on his blog that everything was getting pretty scary and it sort of is I guess. Our grocery bill has gone up 40% over the last 6 months and our gas for the van and the truck is getting outrageous. But then Grace said something that really made me think. She had learned about Uganda in VBS and the conditions they live in there and was telling us about them. She explained how lucky we are to live here with our nice houses, cars, cells phones and indoor toilets. I thought about how other people have to hide to worship God and to speak their minds. When I think about this, I guess I don't have too much to complain about after all! I found this picture that Morgan took and thought it was fitting for today! God Bless America (but it would help if He could bring gas prices down! HA!)!
