Last night I listened to the Pres. talk. I admire that he took action and made a decision and that he has not given up. Many blame him. I wonder if we let go of blame and worked on unity what sort of things we could accomplish as a nation. It made me think of another of my loves...Freedom: (My Earthly Home) America has many faces: her mountains, forests, and fertile valleys; her cities, towns, and homes; her majesty; her solitude; and her people. America is the land of promise, “America the Beautiful,” I long to travel her seacoasts, mountains, cities, her beautiful and quiet places, in a special thanks for the blessings that are America. We have not celebrated often or deeply enough the birth of this promised land, this choice and beautiful and still-young land, which we possess as the Lord’s gift in freedom and joy—just as long as we serve him. It makes me sad to see us as a Nation turn away from God. I was raised with a respect for the men and women who at great peril sacrificed for my freedom. July in Utah is great because we 
celebrate twice; once on the 4th and again the 24th. Fireworks, graveyard visits, picnics, hymns of praise, and the fabulous Parade. I marched in it as a young girl; I passed out from the heat. Anthony got to be on a float one year. Scott and I sat in front of Aunt Sue’s apartment and President and Sister Hinckley waved and smiled right at us. For several years Scott worked the parade route with broken floats. We are living in the best of all times of the entire earth because the Gospel in its fullness has been restored and we are in a land of liberty. I come from 
freedom loving family. My Scharrier ancestors were with the Waldenses a religious group like the Huguenots, who were offered religious freedom in Germany escaping torture in France. My Grandpa and Grandma Scharrier came to America to be with the Latter Day Saints. Now days Americas seem to twist the very principals we were founded on. We pray for leaders who follow God and protect family values to lead us. I love America, I love to be free. These are a few photos of my Scharrier family. Two of my dads cousins Al in New York and Ilse in AZ. We love to visit with them. My dad loved his family and his freedom.
