Happy Fourth of July!

Here are some great quotes that I think fit with the celebration of our Independence:

"The highest glory of the American Revolution was this: It connected, in one indissoluble bond, the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity"

John Quincy Adams

"And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God?"

Thomas Jefferson

I think the last quote is so true today.  We all need to remember that 

"Righteousness exalts a nation,

but sin is a disgrace to any people."

Proverbs 14:34
