Memorial Day...

A day to get ahead on the household chores, a day to remember those who have gone before.

A day to watch a baseball game on ESPN, day to recognize the sacrifices strangers have made for us.

A day in which we spend 30 seconds between the barbecue and the concert in a moment of silence trying to remember what we were commemorating, or a 24 hour period of time set aside to humbly ask God to lead us on the paths of peace and thankfulness.


I think that we have so much free time, that we've forgotten the meaning of holiday.
