Having a picnic on a Parks Canada island only reachable by boat.
So I built a little console table in my free time

Helped a friend build a deck on his island in my free time (after carefully thinking through the process)
Happy US Independance day
Yea, I know, It was 11 days ago.
Regretfully, I was not born born the US, but I earned my citizenship by serving in its millitary for 3 years after a heartbreaking failed attemp to defect from Canada. See The Epistle HERE scrool down to 'The Defection'. In some ways, that is why it means so much more to me than to someone who simply crawled out of their mother womb to be here.
There are many who claim that America is the best country in the world but don't really know why. Man, do we ever have issues that make me cringe but before anyone starts casting stones in our direction have you seen what is happening in yours?
I have always felt that America is where God sent his favorite people and is simply the absolute manifestation of what God wants us all to be.
Some see America as arogant in the world and should apologize. Arrogant? Apologize? Clearly, we have not always gotten it right but we might remember that after WWII alone we had 104,366 Americans burried in European cemetaries. Sometimes we need to be reminded of their sacrifice and not confuse arrogance with leadership.
Refresh my memory again.... How many French, Dutch, Italians, Belgians and Brits are burried on our soil, having defended us againts our ennemies? Oh wait, thats right....zero.
Still, there are some who are so unhappy with the state of the country and its shortcomings that they say they would like to leave. If you know any, you can tell them you have great news!
