Those Blasted Presbyterians: Reflections on Independence Day

Posted by Scott Holstad on July 5, 2015

I found this blog post by Don Sweeting this morning while browsing around. I thought it was good. Those Blasted Presbyterians: Reflections on Independence Day.

I hope everyone had a good Independence Day. The rain largely held off here and it was supposed to thunderstorm, so we got to go downtown and enjoy seeing the fireworks. Cheers!
