Happy Fourth of July =)
Today's patriotic trivia question at work: What makes America the best country in the whole wide world?
Just kidding. Sometimes Mill Creek doesn't have a very good sense of humor.
But just in case you were wondering, the answer is barbecues. Without a doubt, hands down. When I was overseas this year all I wanted was to stand on the grass and eat meat. Mmm...
The actual trivia question: How many cookouts happen nationwide on the Fourth of July?
Answer: 150 million.
That is a lot of dead cows.
On a completely different note, last night over frozen cookies and large mugs of drip coffee I learned about trust. I had an amazing conversation about hope and forgiveness and joy. For two hours I wiped tears and a snotty nose as we spoke because these concepts have wriggled their way into my reality with surprising force and depth. I am asked to live them now in a new way. This is true, and it is good.
The truth shall set you free. Happy Independence Day.
