This Tuesday we will celebrate, running to see fireworks, grilling out, doing all of the things families and friends do to enjoy another day off at work and perhaps even giving a passing thought to the meaning of the day. The 56 signers of our declaration of independence knew what …
With Sergey here this morning I thought it would be appropriate to share about purpose. Sergey left Belarus with nothing to launch out to bring his family to safety and freedom in the US. He began his life in the US serving and has developed his own construction company and …
