00:00:04,583 --> 00:00:06,815
And welcome to today's quick connect where we

2
00:00:06,815 --> 00:00:09,222
take a moment toward mass 3. Today where

3
00:00:09,301 --> 00:00:11,296
I live in the United States. We celebrate

4
00:00:11,296 --> 00:00:13,609
something called the fourth of July or independence

5
00:00:13,609 --> 00:00:15,682
day. Now I realize that I have many

6
00:00:15,682 --> 00:00:17,517
of you, my friends, who do not live

7
00:00:17,517 --> 00:00:19,284
in the states. So So this is a

8
00:00:19,284 --> 00:00:22,227
very general message. And that is if we

9
00:00:22,227 --> 00:00:25,885
are not able to self govern and live

10
00:00:25,885 --> 00:00:28,441
out our truths then we are not free

11
00:00:28,441 --> 00:00:30,980
at all. And my friend, my invitation to

12
00:00:30,980 --> 00:00:33,756
you today is as we steep into what

13
00:00:33,756 --> 00:00:36,164
we can be so grateful for today in

14
00:00:36,164 --> 00:00:38,638
the freedoms that we do enjoy, and those

15
00:00:38,638 --> 00:00:40,633
of course, are our god given freedoms that

16
00:00:40,633 --> 00:00:44,000
are supposed to be protected by our governments,

17
00:00:44,399 --> 00:00:46,713
let us remember that it is they who

18
00:00:46,713 --> 00:00:49,028
are for us as public servants, and it

19
00:00:49,028 --> 00:00:52,806
is we that must speak. Must choose must

20
00:00:53,021 --> 00:00:55,404
decide how we wish for them to best

21
00:00:55,404 --> 00:00:59,319
serve us as we self govern and pursue

22
00:00:59,693 --> 00:01:02,816
life liberty, and happiness. And the only way

23
00:01:02,816 --> 00:01:04,651
to pursue those is in a measure of

24
00:01:04,651 --> 00:01:07,921
autonomy and freedom, being kind to our neighbor

25
00:01:07,921 --> 00:01:10,409
and doing no harm. So the invitation let's

26
00:01:10,409 --> 00:01:12,404
use our voice and let us do our

27
00:01:12,404 --> 00:01:14,580
best to lift up our own communities,

28
00:01:14,958 --> 00:01:17,592
our own areas, our own regions, and leave

29
00:01:17,592 --> 00:01:20,872
a positive impact on every and anyone we

30
00:01:20,872 --> 00:01:23,098
come in contact with. Much love you, my

31
00:01:23,098 --> 00:01:26,301
friend as always. And here's to making every

32
00:01:26,358 --> 00:01:27,327
