Let Freedom Ring

Our 4th of July was packed this year. Morning at Provo Freedom Festival/Parade, afternoon at neighborhood party/games/food, evening watching fireworks at neighbor's house with some fam and friends. We were hot and happy.

President Gordon B. Hinckley:

"Years ago I clipped these words from a column written by Jenkins Lloyd Jones: Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal is going to waste a lot of time running around shouting that he's been robbed. The fact is that most putts don't drop, most beef is tough, most children grow up to be just people, most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration, and most jobs are more often dull than otherwise. Life is like an old-time rail journey...delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas, and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride."

(Deseret News, 12 June 1973, p. A4.)
