Independence Week
/ Autumn McKenzie JacksonOur country is far from perfect, but we are afforded many freedoms. Gratitude goes along way. Thanking our military service men and women for protecting our freedoms is important.
My hope is always that we find the urgency to live this live according to our dreams and purpose. I do not ever want to take our freedom for granted. To that end, today is the best day to start.
I don’t know exactly when I realized that I was scheduled to work the same day Audrey and I were to fly to Orlando, Fl for National Club Swimming Association (NCSA) Age Group Championships.
As I prepared for my brother’s life celebration, I found out that I had no way to prepare for what I experienced. I already have the utmost admiration for my brother, still, over the course of one afternoon at West Point…
I am certain I did not understand the full significance of what he wrote then nor do I now, but I knew enough to hold onto his letters.
I tend not to be awestruck, but my older brother, Darrell, is an exception. He is my superhero.
If you have never made a declaration of faith and you want to make that commitment, here is how.
This is my nephew Joshua. He is the boy in my Joyful Crew!
