<p>This weekend, here in the United States, we are celebrating our Independence Day.</p>
<p>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&#8217;d like to see the article, <a href="http://www.enrichingyourlifenow.com/friday-july-4-2008" target="_blank">Click Here.</a></p>
<h3>Video</h3>
<p>Bellow is a very special video in honor of Independence Day 2009, called, &#8220;In God We Trust.&#8221;  Below the video are some quotes by both Adams and Jefferson.</p>

<blockquote><p>Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.<br />
John Adams</p>
<p>All 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.<br />
John Adams</p>
<p>Abuse of words has been the great instrument of sophistry and chicanery, of party, faction, and division of society.<br />
John Adams</p>
<p>A 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 &#8211; this is the sum of good government.<br />
Thomas Jefferson</p>
<p>All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.<br />
Thomas Jefferson</p>
<p>I 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.<br />
Thomas Jefferson</p></blockquote>

<p>By the way, there is a wonderful CD that came out in 2003 by the Goad family called,   <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000I11TTC?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=conandjoy-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B000I11TTC">America &#8211; We Have Not Forgotten</a><img decoding="async" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=conandjoy-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B000I11TTC" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /><br />
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.</p>
<p>You will hear the truth about &#8220;separation of Church and State.&#8221;  You will hear about a time when the United States Supreme Court ruled <em>against</em> someone who wanted to take Bibles <em>out</em> of schools.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>There are several songs, including a song dedicated to Veterans, called, &#8220;Veterans of the USA.&#8221; If you are a Veteran, you need to hear that song!</p>
<p>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&#8217;d like to get a copy, Click this link &#8211; it will take you to Amazon so you can get the best price.<br />
