The Morning After, and our Flag Is Still There

The Seed of Democracy was a Dream of Divine Inspiration. The Seed reflects a Divine Design that is the Creator’s plan for what Shall be when it grows to maturity. Democracies have historically been known to have a shelf-life of 200 Years. We celebrated 200 years in 1976, wondering about the State of our Union.

“And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.”

Home Base: Jackie and Shadow’s Nest

Sandy and Luna, 07/03/2026 – Jackie and Shadow’s nest with a view of the rising Sun and the Big Bear Valley Solar Observatory

Facing the Morning Sun

The Eagles favorite view looks toward the East where the Sun rises. Sandy and Luna may have fledged 2 weeks earlier than sisters Sunny and Gizmo in the last brood. Sandy was accidentally knocked off her perch by little brother Luna. Then Luna had to spend the night alone and fledged the next day.

The timing may have been turned to the highest good. They both made their way back home where they can use the safety of the nest as their base of operations. Eating fish on a branch is a little tricky. They only have to call on Jackie for home delivery.

They have the best accommodations (with room service). They know they can fly and make their way back, so they are free to come and go.

The Creation: The Darkness of the Void (7 Night / AKBAL)

Mars Meets Uranus Before Dawn On July 4 In Closest Pairing Until 2053 – A rare dawn conjunction on Saturday, July 4, brings fourth planet Mars and seventh planet Uranus unusually close together in the east-northeastern sky. Getty Image

Happy Independence Day!

The passion of Mars is paired up with the unpredictable Uranus. Uranus is one of only two planets in our solar system (the other being Venus) that spins backward (clockwise). Uranus rotates on its side, spinning at an extreme axial tilt of 98°. The limits of our reality can be shattered by a Spiritual Experience.

Ephesians 1:17 KJV
17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:

Romans 8:26 KJV
26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

The Creation: The Wind Beneath Our Wings (6 Wind/IK)

In God We Trust

Celebrating 250 Years of the United States Freedom and Liberty is a dream completed by God’s Grace alone. It will be a big weekend and the best part is a Day we celebrate together as One, United by a Divine Cause for the Highest Good of the whole. Above our pride in the country the credit goes to the One God who united us from the beginning.

God’s Word is the Truth, as it is from the beginning it will be to the end. God is the Author of all good things. 250 Years is long enough for a “dream of Camelot” that came true to be remembered for all time. We haven’t reached our highest end, but the dream remains and the Faith to carry on.
