Honor, justice, and humanity, forbid us tamely to surrender that freedom which we received from our gallant ancestors, and which our innocent posterity have a right to receive from us. We cannot endure the infamy and guilt of resigning succeeding generations to that wretchedness which inevitably awaits them if we basely entail hereditary bondage on them. - Continental Congress Declaration, 1775

With hearts fortified with these animating reflections, we most solemnly, before God and the world, declare, that, exerting the utmost energy of those powers, which our beneficent Creator hath graciously bestowed upon us, the arms we have compelled by our enemies to assume, we will, in defiance of every hazard, with unabating firmness and perseverance employ for the preservation of our liberties; being with one mind resolved to die freemen rather than to live as slaves. - John Dickinson and Thomas Jefferson, Declaration of the Cause and Necessity of Taking up Arms, July 6, 1775

FYI .. tonight on HBO:

God is Bigger Than Elvis - the story of former Hollywood actress Dolores Hart, who left it all behind to become a Benedictine nun.

Synopsis excerpt:

The only child of divorced Chicago parents, Dolores Hart was plucked from obscurity to play Elvis’ love interest in 1957’s ‘Loving You,’ and when she received his first on-screen kiss, Hollywood instantly fell for the gorgeous 19-year-old. 

She was subsequently engaged to handsome young architect Don Robinson and starred in a number of other high-profile movies, including 1957’s ‘Wild Is the Wind,’ with Anthony Quinn, 1958’s ‘King Creole’ (also with Elvis), 1960’s ‘Where the Boys Are,’ 1961’s ‘Francis of Assisi’ and 1963’s ‘Come Fly with Me,’ her final film.

Hart surprised Hollywood, her friends and especially her fiancé when she joined the Abbey of Regina Laudis in Bethlehem, Conn. to become a cloistered Benedictine nun.  ‘I never felt I was leaving Hollywood,’ says Mother Prioress Dolores Hart, recalling her decision today.  ‘God was the vehicle, the ‘bigger Elvis,’” she asserts with a smile.

It didn’t win, but the film was nominated for an Oscar in the appropriate category, and she went back to Hollywood for the event for the first time since she’d left.

Her former fiance never stopped loving her, and she him, but she was called. He visited her at the abbey every single year since she’d left until his death last year.

Her interview with Raymond Arroyo.

Mother Dolores was a very close friend to actress Patricia Neal .. and Neal in her last days became a Catholic and is buried at the Abbey.

I remember her like it were yesterday, and I watched the Academy Awards, hoping to get a glimpse of her, to no avail. I don’t get HBO. I know about the film. Tried searching for it on Netflix: nope.

I’m going to watch “The Iron Lady” with Meryl Streep playing Margaret Thatcher tonight, which just arrived today from Netflix! Very excited!

In fact, I need to exit in a few very minutes, so I can nuke something quick for dinner!

I’ll be back after the movie.

brb. I need to un-flatten my backside. :)
