IF you are looking for something positive to do this holiday weekend, I would strongly recommend viewing the mini-series John Adams. It is based on the book by David McCullough and is incredibly well done. It is an excellent way to teach your family about the history of the move to declare independence. It reminds all of us what an amazing feat the foundoing of our nation was.
Moreover, it reminds us that we have always stood for something - liberty. It succeeds not only in reminding us of imprtant things, but it stirs something in you. It calls us to be great as they were great. It calls us to stand for something greater than ourselves - which is what they did. It was a valuable and enjoyable time watching this movie and discussing it afterwards and I hope you and your family will enjoy it as well.

I loved reading this book on John Adams. I was also very impressed with his wife Abigail. Thank you for bolding speaking up about the situation in our nation. Did you hear there is a Southern Baptist Chaplin who preaches at Camp David today? Hopefully he won't be replaced by Jeremiah Wright. :)
