Are these still the times that try men’s souls?

This summer has been filled with celebrations of our country’s 250th birthday anniversary. My heart has swelled with pride countless times. I know we are not perfect, but the USA is still the best place on earth to live and I thank God for that privilege everyday.

Quotes by Janet Hogan Chapman (?)

“It must be written down, the bad and the good. The stories and tales. The tears, the terror, the ours, the theirs. It must be preserved to show that we, yes WE, not us or them, but WE can move forward together. If not, then God help us all.”

“I spent most of my life trying to specialize myself. I went to theater school, film school, music school, mime school ... Finally, I was able to gather enough knowledge to build the confidence to create my own work, that goes utterly against the sense of specialization.”
