July 4th – What We’re TRULY Celebrating Beyond Fireworks

What are we actually celebrating here on July 4th I wanna make sure that we’re clear on what that actually is because the cookouts and the fireworks and the cold drinks are fine and I indulge and enjoy every bit of it as I know you do But if that’s all it is doggone we have missed something pretty staggering and pretty important What we are celebrating really is a miracle and I I don’t use that word loosely What our founders built what they risked which is everything to establish this country including their lives was not the inevitable outcome of historical forces It was an act of extraordinary courage rooted in extraordinary conviction that these were the men who understood that the liberty they were fighting for was not political invention it was divine gift
