This time of year I often think of how much work it took to create the Declaration of Independence.  Crafting words and phrases, matching ideals and goals, fashioning a foundation.  What a glorious day it was when it was completed and signed.

And yet, then, the work had just begun.  In all the days that followed came the really hard work:  living ...  all those words and phrases, ideals and goals, building on that foundation.  

We'd like to think that it's all in the past, but we are still living it, still creating it, still making the dream of what this nation could be... true!  

May it be so, more and more every day and every night.  It's work, and we get to carry on that work.

What an honor and privilege to live in such a country.

Don't just sit back and revel in what's been done, get involved in what needs to be done.

 

Peace in our journeys,

Pastor Steve Meld
