Happy 4th of July! Independence Day! What does Independence Day mean to you? Lots of Americans, one America.” – Val Saintsburt“
|
When I celebrate the Fourth of July, I’m celebrating my hope that America will one day live up to the ideals stated in the Declaration of Independence.” Julia High

We need to get back to basics of loving our neighbor. Color has not been as big of an issue for years now, as much as it is these days of division. I love people, based on their character. We were ALL CREATED IN HIS IMAGE! Let’s love one another as the Lord commands. Enjoy your 4th of July in the land of the free! So thankful to all those who sacrifice/sacrificed so much for those freedoms!

In the Spotlight
|
This month’s $20 store credit prize goes to Sarita Coffman, with her gorgeous red leather bag!“I put orders on the back burner so I could make myself a new red leather bag. My son sent me the red and black leather from Springfield Leather Co for my birthday over a year ago. I had also purchased the Moonwake pattern the first day it came out.
|
This leather is about 3 oz, I hand skived the seams...whew! I hate to skive! I used decovil light from Barb’s on the sides of leather and in the straps and woven fuse 2 on the lining and interior pockets. Silver Hardware from Fireweed Stitches, and my bag tags from ARC Expressions!”

Angel Food Cake and Berry Trifle
- Level: Easy
- Yield: 8 servings
- Total: 1 hr 40 min
- Prep: 20 min
- Inactive: 1 hr 20 min
Ingredients
- 5 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced, plus a few whole, for garnish
- One 6-ounce container blueberries
- One 6-ounce container raspberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- Juice 1/2 orange
- 4 cups low-fat 2-percent Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup honey
- One 17-ounce store-bought angel food cake
Directions
- Add the berries to a bowl along with the sugar and orange juice. Let sit at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes, until juicy.
- Meanwhile, add the yogurt and honey to a bowl. Stir with a spoon to mix in the honey and smooth out so the mixture will be more spreadable.
- Cut the angel food cake into large chunks using a serrated knife, and add about one-third of the cake to the bottom of a medium trifle dish. Add a layer of the syrupy berries and then a layer of yogurt, reserving a few spoonfuls of yogurt for the end. Repeat the layers until you have no more remaining ingredients. Finish the top with the few spoonfuls of yogurt in the center and the fresh, whole strawberries.
- Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour and up to overnight

Happy 4th of July, y’all! Love your neighbor!
““Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.””
