Happy July 4th

Freedom does not come free.

Nor does it just happen.

You cannot just wish for freedom.

It takes sacrifice to be truly free.

Freedom costs.

Thank you for those who have truly sacrificed for my freedom. For our nation's freedom. May it never be in vain.

While this holiday has come to mean a time of parties, grilling, and fireworks, please take some time to remember that freedom costs. Take a few minutes today to take it as serious as it really is. It costs. It does not just happen. And for us to remain free, it costs. Until we remember this each day, we shall never be truly free again. Freedom is not a handout or wishful thinking. It takes intentionality.  Be intentional in recognizing how freedom requires a cost. Remember this every day.
