July 4th

July 4th, 2008
What a blessing to live in the United States! I am so thankful for all our forefathers and the things they did, for the sacrifice them made, and the words and wisdom they gave to each of us. I have walked were Patrick Henry, Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and many more had walked in their lifetime. I was honored to share in the places they worked, in their homes and the stories about their lives. Below are some quotes they have left for us to live by.
Patrick Henry
“It can not be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians, not on religions, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ!"
Thomas Jefferson
“Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing.”
Benjamin Franklin
“Guests, like fish, begin to smell after three days.”
George Washington
“It is impossible to rightly govern a nation without God and the Bible.”
July 4th, 1776
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all me are created equal that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”
Go forth into Life. Enjoy your Liberty! Pursue the Lord for all your Happiness!
Pastor Ken
