Many, if not most, of our Founding Fathers were motivated by their Faith in Christ. They wrote sermons and creeds and hymns. They founded Bible Societies and Sunday Schools. They served God’s purposes in their own generation. ~ Mark Batterson

You should definitely read Mark Batterson’s post today about the men who signed the Declaration of Independence. It gives me an even greater understanding of the price paid for our freedom.

God has already blessed our nation and I am proud to be an American.

Happy J4!

I’m getting a little nervous about our party tomorrow night. With the RSVPs that are coming in, I think we could easily have well over 100 people tomorrow! That is awesome and scary at the same time.

If you are coming to the party and you know anyone else coming that lives near you, please carpool. But, whatever you do, don’t stay home. It’s going to be a BLAST!

We don’t alway recognize what we are really saying. We get caught up with what we mean to say or even what we wish people heard. Blogging is no different. I recently came across a new site called Wordle (thanks Carolyn) that creates a word cloud from your website. It is a great way to see what you have really been talking about. You might even say that out of the abundance of the heart, the blogger writes…

Take a look at some of the recent things here on Deep Thoughts…

So, what does your word cloud say about your blog?

• Forgot 2 get milk. So, it’s back in the car. The boys could eat cereal with water, right? #

• Running late. @jennifermcgee kept “distracting” me. Sometimes that’s a good thing… {smile} #
• Just did a PC3 driveby. I am so excited for you guys! Can’t wait to get a tour. #
