Blessed vs Happy

Other Hat today shares in honor of the Forth of July and our Independence Day a painting by Frederick Church "Our Banner In The Sky"

Frederick Church "Our Banner In The Sky"

The first time that I viewed this actual painting was at the "Civil War" Exhibit in The Metropolitan Museum last summer.  The exhibit moved me to tears, as does this painting as know more of its timing in history when it was painted.  As an Artist, think it is inherent that passions run deep.

simply sharing from quiet time chair the inspirations from the word today

As an American, we all celebrate today that our passions run deep and that we may celebrate our freedom to express them and stand by our beliefs. In saving time, just sharing a picture of my journal from this morning.  Hope to not make any enemies... simply sharing the thoughts beyond my quiet time chair... that do believe it is more important to be 'blessed' than it is to be 'happy'

Happy Birthday America
May God Bless America indeed Godspeed
