To say it all simply is Jesus is Awesome.  I hope you all enjoy the fourth of July and although the fireworks may be limited if any know that true joy comes from the fact that we have freedom in the first place. Dont get disappointed when the real celebration allows us to believe openly and freely. IN GOD WE TRUST.  Peace out until my last email next week, i love you all!
