Giving Thanks on the 4th of July

The United States isn't a perfect country, but it's a good country, a country I love. What I most revere about the United States are the reformers and radicals who have fought to get this country to live up to its highest values. These reformers and radicals helped give this country a new understanding of what it means to be a country of freedom and equality.

God Bless America

We live in a world where rather meaty terms are dropped about willy-nilly. The cynics and the skeptics have it easy, perhaps too easy.

A Service of Lessons and Hymns for Independence Day

Created by the Rev. Elizabeth Kaeton, rector of The Episcopal Church of St. Paul in Chatham, NJ, who gives gracious permission to copy, adapt and use, with attribution. Whether you're planning the service for the Fourth of July, or are like me and enjoy reading and praying along to special liturgies pulled together by others, this is a special one. She shares a lot of my discomforts having nationalistic celebrations mixed and mingled with worship.

Benjamin Franklin's Fight to Abolish Slavery

Benjamin Franklin has always been my favorite Founding Father. Of all the Founding Fathers, he seemed the most witty, the most personable. When I watched the movie 1776, I really enjoyed the jolly Benjamin Franklin personna that I watched on the screen. I admire Franklin's accomplishments as a scientist, a politician, and a diplomat to France and England.

Here's why I continue to serve, in the civilian sector, now.

As a veteran of the US armed forces, I am concerned about America’s reliance on fossil fuels. On the one hand, it makes us dependent on unstable and unfriendly regimes. On the other hand, burning fossil fuels deepens the threat posed by climate change. And have no doubt – this is a threat to American security.
