Independence Day
I am grateful that so many have fought in the past to provide the freedoms we now enjoy. I know that I am blessed that I was lucky enough to be born in the USA. I have spent many years declaring myself an indepent woman and truly we Americans are a little caught up in the whole "Independence" thing.
Sunday when someone was speaking of independence day at church I was thinking that this is the one place where we should be proud to admit that we are totally dependent on one much greater than us. Stephen Curtis Chapman said it best.

Now, let me say that I’m the kind of guy who wants to do it all myself
Don’t want to ask for help, don’t like to stop for directions, oh, oh
But in reality I’m nothing on my own
It’s by God’s grace alone that I can make this confession
All that I am and all I’m hoping to be
Is all and only what He’s given to me
So I say…
This is my declaration of dependence
This is my declaration of my need
This is my declaration of dependence
On the one who gave His life to me
I hope you all have a great holiday today. Be proud to be an American, but be humbled that you are saved by his marvelous grace.

Donna, I love that SCC song!
Did you catch the "streaker" during Sharapova's match today? Good grief! HOW does that sort of thing happen? Makes me want to GRUNT! Ha!

I've had to learn to be less independent - only after I realized that I can't do everything by myself!
