Jul
Do you remember how old you were when you became aware that the 4th of July celebration was more than the BBQ with the family and shooting off some fireworks that your Dad picked up at a roadside stand? I honestly don’t remember how old I was either, but when you’re a kid the idea that our country is having a birthday doesn’t mean much unless you have cake, ice cream and a party with presents.
This got me to thinking, how can I celebrate our countries birthday in a more meaningful way? So I decided that I 
would spend more time praying for our leaders that they are guided by our founding fathers who drafted the Constitution designed to “form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the
common defence, promote the general welfare and secure the blessings to ourselves…”
and if my prayers aren’t answered within my state then I will contact my local representative or my Governor and if my prayers on a federal level aren’t answered then I will contact my member of Congress or Senator and if they still aren’t answered then I will contact my President. And if that fails I will go back run my own life, make my own decisions, accept my responsibilities and be happy to live in a democracy where I am allowed to do whatever I darn well please. And if you are a complainer, whiner or general pain in the ass about living in this country and have not contacted any of the afore mentioned elected’s than you are welcome to exercise your freedom to leave anytime.
Happy 233rd Birthday America! May you have many more!
