- Ron Edmondson
July 4th weekend is a usual busy time for family and friends. Hopefully each of us will pause for some patriotic reflection. Watching the release of hostages this week after 5 years of being held captive in Columbia reminded me again how blessed we are to live in a country where freedom reins. Take some time today to pray for our troops and their families and ask God to grant them safety and grant the world peace. If you really want to be patriotic, call a soldier or a deployed spouse and encourage them this weekend. Because of their sacrifice we remain the land of the free!
In the midst of your celebration take an hour to join us Sunday. We'll be looking at the courage of another great Bible superhero. Why not invite your neighbor or a friend from work to join you? You may be surprised. This time they may just say "Yes".
Happy 4th! God Bless America, our troops, and us all!
