We live during a time of great upheaval in our country and it seems as though things are coming apart at the seams. And perhaps they are.

But patriots all over the nation will be celebrating Independence Day today, and the best thing you can do is reflect on all that we have to be grateful for in this country, holding out hope that one day, we will return to a culture of thanksgiving for what we have in the U.S.A.

I thought that starting the day with one of the greatest performances of our national anthem might just do the trick this morning. Maybe it will do it for you, too.

Have a great Fourth of July!
