Have a safe and Happy 4th of July Scholars!
Our country is not perfect nor has it ever been. I think of those young rebellious and ambitious white men and the women that supported them that said, ‘enough with the Crown’. I think of the strong black African men and women that cried out- “are we not MEN created equal with unalienable rights?” I think of the struggles they fought and won so that we ALL can live free as we do today. There is much more work to be done BUT, when I look at these kids (pic:history.com), I think of the hopeful tomorrow our country has!
Let’s keep dreaming and striving for a better country as did those of old. Let’s do our part to be sure we leave a great legacy to the next generation!
Top 5 things we can do:
1) Better ourselves personally by pursuing our PHDinMe (Pursuing Higher Development in Me-Yourself) which includes: walking in the Spirit/Truth, increasing faith, loving, laughing, smiling, taking care of the temple
2) Helping others, caring, developing EMPATHY
3) VOTING
4)Reading- Expand your MIND
5)Exploring- getting outside of the box and paying attention to the happenings of the world not just our city, state or nation.
This list is by no means exhaustive, but its a place to start! Have something to add? Share it with a comment!

Light and Love,
