“Free at last; free at last; thank God Almighty we are free at last.”

The title of this blog is a quote by Martin Luther King and accurately states the truth whether we are enjoying the freedom as a country or our freedom in Christ. As we have returned from our travels in Israel and Greece we are so thankful to be back in the USA celebrating our freedom on the 4th of July. Whether we were in Crete seeing the fighter jets flying over daily bombing Libya, the riots in Athens, the shooting off of live rounds from tanks in the Golan Heights, crossing into Bethleham through Palestinean territory or seeing military on the roofs of Jerusalem or swarming the streets, it makes us very thankful for where we live. To them it is a way of life, to us, we are so far removed. But today, we want to say we are extremely thankful for the place that God has allowed us to live! It is our prayer that you enjoy your day with whoever you are with, very aware of the things that God has blessed you with. We are currently in California spending some time with family, again thankful for all the blessings we enjoy!
