July 4, 2011... A vanload of family members (me included) had the opportunity to go see the Mill Run fireworks show. Sometimes, I think about what Francis Scott Key had to watch as
Fort McHenry was being bombarded by the British. Also, knowing that fireworks are designed to be somewhat similar to exploding bombs and charges (minus the casualties) can add new light to watching a fireworks show. Praise the Lord for all the brave men and women who risked their lives, and spent their fortunes so that their descendants could live in comfort for years to come.

I never thought of explosives (fireworks) in that way before. Thought provoking! Great pictues!
