I hope you all had a great celebration and enjoyed some time with friends and family. Just a reminder that we all need at times is that freedom is NOT free. I suspect everyone who reads this loves our country and all that it brings with it. I sometimes get frustrated that not everyone sees the future the same way I do (yes, that includes my wife Susan ) but I pray we can all agree that this is the best place on earth to live today. We enjoy more prosperity and wealth than anywhere else.

Yes, gas costs a lot. Food costs a lot. Housing markets are not what they were a few years ago. Politics gets in the way of doing the right thing but we are blessed and I believe blessed by God. I believe God blesses us but he also blesses others and in the end we are all the same and we will all bless God when he finally comes back.

Take a few minutes to make a list of your blessings and get up tomorrow and be thankful for all that you have. Focus on what you have, not what you don’t have. I think your day will go better if you do.

It’s a good life,
Jerry Robertson
