Since I am back to work today this seems very appropriate. Here’s to all the folks who are working for a living and to those finding their way back to working for more. Released in 1982 this Huey Lewis and The News song still has a great beat.

The Spirit Of America Made Available Worldwide
May the American spirit of freedom and liberty find its way to your native lands. Celebrating our Independence Day is a reminder that not everyone has the freedoms available to them to do amazing things in the world. May freedom and the right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness be available to all around the world. I hope there will be people who will work to make their countries the best they can be. Peace to all.

Happy Independence Day, Let True Freedom Ring For ALL To Hear
I salute those who embody the spirit of America by doing things to make life better for everyone. To my fellow Americans who follow the beat of a different drummer you rock. We are made greater by the nerds and geeks and peacemakers who aren’t afraid to be themselves.
Our country is made stronger by diversity of race, creed, gender, orientation and thought. To my fellow geek/nerd-Americans your sacrifice of time, talent and treasure is very important and appreciated. May we help our country be the best it can be daily. Grace and peace to everyone this 4th of July.
Happy Independence Day. Let true freedom ring for ALL to hear and feel and to realize.
Fixing Your Post Mistakes #wordpress #blogging
I am glad that blog posts can be edited. Often times you write something that looks good at first, but it looks all sorts of wrong later. Those errors can be a little embarrassing when you don’t catch them in time. It’s not the end of the world, but you know you want to not make a fool of yourself. Grace in the blogging community for mistakes is a very nice thing to have.
Life would be great if we could go back and correct mistakes we made just like a post. Writing is something I have been told I am good at but when I do it there are lots of little things including punctuation that have to be fixed. There are great writers out there who do amazing posts and I hope to be right up there with them.
A Beautiful Planet, A Beautiful and Important Film
Today we celebrated my dad’s birthday, which was actually yesterday. We took him to the Tennessee Aquarium’s IMAX theater in Chattanooga to see the fantastic IMAX movie “A Beautiful Planet” in 3D. It is a very moving film that takes place on the International Space Station. Academy Award winner Jennifer Lawrence narrates this story of how our planet is a wonderful but fragile place that is our home. The space station is a really cool place where important work is being done. Those who call the station home come from different places and when you are in space borders don’t matter much. Their work has a common goal of making the world a better place. One big point the movie makes is that our planet’s resources are being used at a very high rate and that threatens us all. Seeing the changes from above can change your perspective on your life.
We are to be crew members on planet Earth in taking care of each other. The notion that it’s every person for itself is wrong. You don’t get a free ride but you are responsible for one another and you have to care about the place you live before it is lost forever.
Here’s The Trailer for the movie…
