It's going to be a hot one here in North Texas, which is quite fitting in my mind - I can't imagine an independence day celebration in any other kind of weather. Perfect for a backyard barbeque and a dip in the pool!!

As we all go about our planned celebrations today, let's pause for a moment to remember those people who got us to this grand day and say a prayer for the ones who are fighting for the same freedom for us and many other people around the world today and every day.
