IT CAME UPON ME TODAY that while July 4 is celebrated as INDEPENDENCE DAY in the United States, it is even more important that we celebrate the date as DEPENDENCE DAY. The Founders, no matter how much we debate their individual and collective religious beliefs, clearly envisioned, embraced and extolled our Independence from political tyranny as having at its foundation a Dependence upon God. 

Our independence is of and from God. "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change." James 1:17 Freedom from human bondage is only as good as the bondage of our wills to God's will.

To All: HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY and HAPPY DEPENDENCE DAY!
