Celebrating in July

The fourth of July is a month of celebration. Remember those picnics, and the spectacular fireworks displays as a child. Let's try to see them again this year through our child's eye.

America is still the greatest nation on earth. I believed that as a child and I have no reason to discontinue that this 4th of July. Strike up the band. It's a grand old flag... it's a high flying flag.

After the celebration of the birth of our nation's birth, the( Christy Award )program will be held in Colorado on the following Saturday. This is an exciting time for Christian writers and fans.

History of the Christy Award:
"In the spring of 1999, nearly a dozen Christian publishers confirmed the need for establishing a Christian fiction award to recognize novelists and novels of excellence in several genres of Christian fiction. By late summer, ideas and planning had come together to launch The Christy Award, named in honor of Catherine Marshall’s novel and of her contribution to growth of the fiction Christians love to read."

Until next time...
