July 4


We Gather Together
by Adrianus Valerius

We all do extol Thee, Thou Leader triumphant,
And pray that Thou still our Defender will be.
Let Thy congregation escape tribulation;
Thy Name be ever praised! O Lord, make us free!




Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.  ~Ephesians 1:3

T.Jefferson is not only an American he is also citizen of the word. I remember his epitaph and I found it today again.

HERE WAS BURIED THOMAS JEFFERSON
AUTHOR OF THE DECLARATION OF AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE
OF THE STATUTE OF VIRGINIA FOR RELIGIOUS FREEDOM
AND FATHER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA

For my Greek visitor:

Ενδιαφέρον κομμάτι. Σας ευχαριστώ για να σταματήσει κοντά.

["Interesting bit. Thank you for stopping by."]
