I took this picture last night while I was
doing the photography for our local high school
play. And there are two
things I keep thinking about whenever I see it on my computer.
First,
teenagers are so outstanding. And I will never stop believing that. I
spent the last two
evenings with them and not only do their talents and
abilities blow me away, but they are
good and kind and powerful and
their future is bright. I adore them. And I highly suggest
heading over
to our high school to watch this particular group shine this week and
next.
And second, I love this country of mine so very much.
Like these teenagers I photographed
for hours on end, it is good and
kind and powerful and its future is bright. And if you don’t
feel that, I
might suggest learning, like I did, to stop listening to the loudest,
angriest voices.
I truly believe they do not represent this great
nation. Not at our core. Not in our hearts.
But what does
represent us is what we have celebrated today. Those that
have given
such a huge price for our freedom. I’m so grateful. So humbled.
So
blessed. We all are. Because of what our bravest are willing to do.
A most heartfelt thank you from the bottom of my heart.
