First Baptist Church of Herndon Blogs
Having just returned from my family’s beach vacation my morning walk had moved to an earlier time. The heat at the beach was the driving factor and now at home the same oppressive heat makes an early start imperative.
I am having a hard time believing it’s already August, and summer is all but gone. This mind set comes from my childhood. Summer activities would come to an end and our family would always vacation the last week of July.
When you live in a “wanna be” nature preserve as I do you should not grow attached to certain destructive critters.
For years I wondered how I would feel about our family vacation once I retired and no longer saw vacation as an escape from work. Now I know, it is a great escape! Extensive travel to exotic destinations was never in the cards for me.
A few weeks back I was “under the weather”. You know, one of those times when you feel lousy, but you aren’t deathly ill, and your over-the-counter meds work pretty well until they don’t which is usually in the middle of the night.
As July 4th has come around again, I just want to ask you, what are you celebrating? Is it the birth of our nation, our democratic system of government, the separation of church and state, the land of the free and home of the brave, or is it something else?
