This weekend, here in the United States, we are celebrating our Independence Day.
John Adam and Thomas Jefferson were extremely influential in founding the United States. Did you know that they both died on the same day; July 4, 1826, the 50th birthday of the United States. Last year, on July 4th, on my membership site, I posted some information about of those men. If you’d like to see the article, Click Here.
Video
Bellow is a very special video in honor of Independence Day 2009, called, “In God We Trust.” Below the video are some quotes by both Adams and Jefferson.
Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
John AdamsAll the perplexities, confusion and distress in America arise, not from defects in their Constitution or Confederation, not from want of honor or virtue, so much as from the downright ignorance of the nature of coin, credit and circulation.
John AdamsAbuse of words has been the great instrument of sophistry and chicanery, of party, faction, and division of society.
John AdamsA wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned – this is the sum of good government.
Thomas JeffersonAll tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.
Thomas JeffersonI predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.
Thomas Jefferson
God Bless The USA

A Christian Nation?
By the way, there is a wonderful CD that came out in 2003 by the Goad family called, America – We Have Not Forgotten
This is more than a patriotic CD. It is full of the truth of the forming and foundation of the United States as a Christian nation.
You will hear the truth about “separation of Church and State.” You will hear about a time when the United States Supreme Court ruled against someone who wanted to take Bibles out of schools.
You will hear some great quotes from our founding fathers as well as some quotes from some of our past presidents who were very clear in their belief in God and the Bible.
There are several songs, including a song dedicated to Veterans, called, “Veterans of the USA.” If you are a Veteran, you need to hear that song!
I own the CD. I have listened to it a number of times. I have even played it at Christian fellowships. It is very inspiring. If you’d like to get a copy, Click this link – it will take you to Amazon so you can get the best price.
America – We Have Not Forgotten
MIke, I wasn’t sure if I watched (old age) so I watched it again…and it is still lovely. You did a great job putting that together and the background music was awesome. I don’t know why I couldn’t remember but as soon as it started it all came rushing back like a long lost friend. lol Blessings to you and your wife, Rosie and Larry West, Sheridan, IN
p.s. I remember now that I cried when I saw it the first time.
Hi Rosie,
Yes, it is a very moving video – I wish I could take credit for it, but I did not put it together. Those who did though, were very inspired and did a great job.
God’s blessings right back at you and Larry!
Mike
Here we are again, another 4th of July,celebrating the birth and the freedom of our country….God is good to us, so very good, and we are thankful. I pray you had a great day with your wife and family today. We did nothing….I just got out of the hospital last night and we took it easy…
Lord, bless Mike and his family. Please let your blessings rest upon them and around them and may they sense your presence in a new and glorious way. Thank you, Lord, in Jesus name, amen.
Rosie and Larry West
