As we celebrate our

Pastor
I am sitting
in the Holiday Inn in San Clemente, Calif., on
Tuesday evening, July 4, anticipating that, soon, a
brilliant display of fireworks will be launched from
the pier that juts out from the beach into the
magnificent Pacific Ocean. I should easily be able to
see the festivities since the beach is just a few
blocks away.
