SOME ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS

Here are some topics that I didn't have time for.

Luke 11:46, 52 (KJV) - And he said, "Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers. ...

"The most Glorious legacy that one can bequeath to posterity is Liberty; the only true security."

John Quincy Adams: "Posterity - you will never know how much it has cost my generation to preserve your freedom. I hope you will make good use of it."

Amen.
