A "memory" popped up this morning on one of my social media accounts. It was from July 3, 2014. (Photos of 2014 at bottom of blog post.) As I scrolled through my photos I realized that this Independence Day weekend will be a bit more "stay at home" versus years in the past.
The picture above is from Hilton Head Island on July 4, 2018. I had just moved to the area a few days prior to this. Thus, I stayed close to home that year but spent time exploring the new surroundings.

On July 3, 2015 I traveled from Wyoming to Missouri to visit mom. The photo above was taken on that day just a few months before her death.
The following day, on July 4, 2015, I went to visit my brother. I always enjoy the scenic trip along the Mississippi River.

It was good to see the new addition to his yard pictured below.
Finally, going back to six years ago on July 3, 2014, these are the memories I captured while enjoying the beauty of northern Wyoming. Our son was still in high school and had traveled to Cody, Wyoming to participate in the parade with his high school band. (You can probably pick him out by height.)
We had some time to do a little exploring while we were in the area. One of the most beautiful drives in the country is the Chief Joseph Scenic Byway. It is simply phenomenal. If you ever make the trip to Yellowstone Park, I highly recommend taking this scenic route.
We stayed in the town of Greybull, Wyoming. The flowers were gorgeous.
A close-up picture of the flowers is below. Photos don't do the scene justice.
We are staying close to home this year for the holiday weekend. I never imagined back in March and April that we would still be this locked down in society after all of this time. If recent months have taught us anything, it should be the value of freedom and the necessity not to take it for granted.
Please pray for our nation. Pray for your own personal conversion, as well as the conversion of all the people of our country. We need to turn back to God.
"One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
Have a safe and blessed Independence Day weekend. Thank you to all of you who strive to keep us free.
