Happy 4th of July!
Here’s a poem I wrote some years ago, it has nothing to do with July 4th, however here goes.
Captain Heart
A lavender gown faded tattered
hung in the closet
a faint aroma of lavender
drifted from the old garment
She stood at midnight
moonlight beaming in
through the window
her silky silhouette tall, lean,
beauty, in lavender lace
Bone China face
hands of a fragile woman
opulent riches surround
her frame while she
celebrates the ceremony
meant for two
two glasses
lavender roses
dinner in chambers
midnight love
Moving with the grace
of a fragile butterfly
her movements
synchronized with
full moon waxing yellow glow
toward a shadowy figure
emerging from a black recess
the Captain of her heart
symphony of exquisite rhapsody
of love
candlelight and moonbeams
Captain of Her Heart
Soaring Feather

Hiiya Beachie! My most memorable July 4th happened in 1976, our Bicentenial. I was in the Army in Bamberg Germany and our unit was responsible for guard duty of our ammunition depot. So me and my fellow soldiers walked the perimeter of the depot, wishing we were back on base celebrating the 4th of July with the rest of our buddies. Hey, someone had to do it :-) How’s the mini vacation going?

Dependence Day
July 4, 2014
Read: John 15:1-13
In the US, the Fourth of July is a national holiday when outdoor grills are heated up; beaches are packed; and cities and towns have parades and fireworks displays, picnics, and patriotic celebrations. All of this is in remembrance of July 4, 1776, when the 13 American colonies declared their independence.
Independence appeals to all ages. It means freedom from the control, influence, support, and aid of others. So its not surprising that teenagers talk about gaining their independence. Many adults have the goal of being independently wealthy. And senior citizens want to maintain their independence. Whether anyone is ever truly independent is a discussion for another time and placebut it sounds good.
Craving political or personal independence is one thing; daring to pursue spiritual independence is problematic. What we need instead is a recognition and acceptance of our deep spiritual dependence. Jesus said, I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing (John 15:5).
Far from being self-reliant, we are totally and eternally dependent on the One who died to set us free. Every day is our dependence day.
I need Thee every hour, most gracious Lord;
No tender voice like Thine can peace afford.
I need Thee, O I need Thee; every hour I need Thee!
O bless me now, my Savior, I come to Thee. Hawks/Lowry
Our greatest strength comes from dependence on our strong God.
There are two sides to the word picture of Jesus and His followers as a vine and branches. On the one side, His followers, the branches, are totally dependent on Him, the vine. But as the vine, He freely and generously supplies what we need to bear fruit.

~Happy Independence Day~

Independence?
The Lady holds a tablet. There is a date engraved.
July 4, 1776. A memo that we saved.
Within that page of History, we hold the American Rose.
Pressed by weight of moments, the album now we close,
To mark the beginning of Mans finest striving,
Wherein heroes, villains, and events were arriving,
At a small town we call Philly, (Thats where we keep the bell.)
To speak their piece, and start a war, and put them all through Hell.
It was a needed moment. We had to take our place,
Among the giants of the earth, for Life stepped up the pace.
We had to shoulder burdens, that no one else could bear,
And send the finest of our land, to fix things over there.
The blood we shed has nourished the Freedom that we sowed,
And gave the homeland back ten-fold, all debts that we had owed.
Just to ensure survival of the plantings that we nourished.
We went back for a second time, to make sure that it flourished.
We thought that we could take a break, and live a private life,
Unburdened by the problems of the world and all its strife.
But this small world kept shrinking, and our moat gives no protection,
From enemies who should be friends, except for their infection.
Well need to cure their illness, whatever the cost may be,
Or we will not enjoy the life we have, a life of liberty.
Its not enough to shine a light beside the door,
We have to go among them, and boost the yearnings of the poor.
NicknamedBob . . . . . . . . . . . . July 3, 2004
GOD BLESS AMERICA

I have an old cassette tape of Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops playing Sousa Marches. It is really good and I was going to play it tomorrow but can’t seem to find it.
