  It’s true, freedom requires responsibility. However, the loss of freedom only occurs when thing become ugly.

      If you mean total freedom without the rule of law, you are correct. Then you have anarchy, which isn’t good. Freedom in polite society empowers the people, but a powerful government has no interest in allowing freedom for it’s people. Freedom is precious and costly.

Thanks for the post and photo. My husband and I are also celebrating my husband’s personal independence day. He comes home from the hospital today after receiving a double lung transplant. We are so blessed!

  Oh my, Linda. That’s huge! How long was he in? I’m so glad to hear he’s home. How is he feeling? We will keep him in our prayers. What a wonderful Independence day for you both!

    Hi Tim,
    My husband was in the hospital about 11 days. He’s a bit tired but he’s been walking every day. I’m so happy that he is off oxygen and can breathe! We have been richly blessed.
