Independence Day: Honoring The Just Spirit
We celebrate July 4th with fireworks, barbecues, and parades to mark the day we declared independence from Great Britain in 1776, but what are we really celebrating? We often do not take the time to remember the Founding Fathers responsible for our independence. I would like to remind you of my two favorite Americans whose brilliance influenced the passage of the Declaration of Independence. They are Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin, and they are both prime examples of just spirits.
