Happy Independence Day everyone!! Don't forget about the scout breakfast at 7 am in Kent's Market parking lot. Cost is $15 per family of 5. $5/person and $2 for children 11 and younger. Think those prices are correct. Anyway, go support our scouts! The parade starts at 9:30 am right along main street.
I would like thank all of the men and women out there who have sacrificed so much for our freedoms!!
I also thought it might be fitting to put a quote from our former Prophet President Ezra Taft Benson who tells of the men who signed the Declaration of Independence.
"We know the signers of the sacred Declaration of Independence and the Founding Fathers, with George Washington at their head, have made appearance in holy places. Apostle Wilford Woodruff was president of the St. George Temple at the time of their appearance and testified that the founders of our republic declared this to him: 'We laid the foundation of the government you now enjoy, and we never apostatized from it, but we remained true to it and were faithful to God.' (Journal of Discourses, 19:229.)
"Later, after he became President of the Church, President Woodruff declared that 'those men who laid the foundation of this American government and signed the Declaration of Independence were the best spirits the God of heaven could find on the face of the earth. They were choice spirits, not wicked men. General Washington and all the men who labored for the purpose were inspired of the Lord.' (Conference Report, April 1898, p. 89.)"
Have a wonderful day!!
