. . . i love to see the temple . . .

. . . quite a poignant moment 
as i snapped this photo . . .
. . . flags all across arizona, 
including this one on the temple grounds, 
are flying at half mast 
this fourth of july week . . .
. . . as we remember, 
grieve the loss of, honor, and respect 
the nineteen hot shot firefighters 
who lost their lives 
fighting the yarnell hill wildfire 
near prescott . . .


. . . i love this country . . .
. . . i give thanks every day 
for the privilege of living in a land 
where i can worship as i choose . . .
. . . a land that was founded 
on the very principle 
of freedom of religion . . .
. . . a land so diverse and beautiful . . .
. . . a land with countless opportunities . . .
. . . freedom --- i do not take it for granted . . .

. . . god bless america, land that i love . . .
