Sometimes I wish I could fly,

To be free like the birds above,
To be able to see all I can see,
And still be close to all that I hold dear,

To be free to me means to fight,
To fight for what I believe in,
And not give into the evils of this world,
It means you have the opportunity to show love,
Worship in any way you choose,
I want to keep that

Freedom is very important to me and many others,
We may fight to keep it that way,
And we will use it every chance we get,

However, freedom does not come free,
We are where we are because our founding fathers put their trust in God,
They were not afraid to die for what they believe in,

The men and women who fought in the revolutionary war
Were willing and did lose their lives so we can be where we are today,
Why, even if didn't have our civil war, we wouldn't be united as we are today,
our fights, our wars, and our battles were fought  for reasons sometimes ludicrous to the human mind,


But if we did not fight, we would not be here,
In this free country, to worship God how we choose,
To have the true and everlasting gospel on this earth today,
Because we are free, we now have the Gospel of Jesus Christ on this planet once again,
We have a living prophet who leads and guides us in this time when we prepare to receive the Savior once again...

Brothers and Sisters,
This is my testimony,
I know that Christ will come again,
And that we are this free country so we can worship Him,
I know that we have a living prophet who leads us against the evils of this world,
I love my Savior and am ever grateful for His sacrifice,
May we all have a safe and fun Fourth
MAY GOD BLESS YOU!

JESSICA! You WOW me! You are AWESOME! You are a GIFT from GOD! No one else has a daughter like you! I am so humbled, so thankful, so *humbly proud* of you, of who you are, of who you are becoming! To my daughter gain a testimony and grow it, is more than my greatest wish for each of my children! You are grown up now, and you are ready to face the world (mostly on your own, maybe with a little help here and there, but mostly on your own!) You are intelligent, you are loving, you are non-judgmental, you are service-minded, you are an easy-going, happy, positive, optimistic person. I truly do want to be like you when I grow up! I am SO THANKFUL to have you in our family! Our family would not be the same without you! You have had dark days, and you will have more dark days in your life - but you have kept your eyes on the eternal goal, and stayed close to your Father in Heaven. Nothing could be a better choice than that! NOTHING! Keep it up girl! You're HOT!
