Jersey
Some fun facts about New Jersey from my local Life and Leisure paper.
Highlands, NJ has the highest elevation along the entire eastern seaboard, from Maine to Florida.
NJ has more race horses than Kentucky.
NJ is home to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.
NJ has the most stringent testing along our coastline for Water Quality Control than any other seaboard state in the entire country.
Jersey tomatoes are known the world over as being the best you can buy.
The first Indian reservation was in NJ, the Watchung Mountains.
The first drive in movie theater was opened in Pennsauken, NJ.
YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE IN NEW JERSEY when...
You don't think of fruit when people mention "The Oranges."
You know that it's called Great Adventure, not Six Flags.
A good, quick breakfast is a hard roll with butter.
You've known the way to Seaside Heights since you were seven.
You know what a "jug handle" is.
You know that there are no "beaches" in NJ - there is the shore NOT "at the shore" you are "down the shore."
You know that this is the only "New.." state that doesn't require "New" to identify it (like, try... Mexico, ...York ... Hampshire - see it doesn't work, does it?)
You NEVER, NEVER, pump your own gas.
New Jersey, the place I call home, for now... no place like it on earth!!!

Carrie Underwood w/ Vince Gill How Great thou Art
Carrie Underwood has such a pure voice. Watch the standing ovation at the end and listen to her hit those notes. She held those last two notes for 15 seconds, amazing! Vince Gill on electric guitar, not to shabby either.
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to thee.....
Are you smarter than a 5th grader?
I think I might be. I just passed the Praxis Paraprofessional exam with a score of 475!! 480 is the highest score you can receive. Woo hoo!!!
You may be thinking, isn't she bragging?
Well... first off I have been out of school for 30 years. When I opened the study book, I was like, what????? The math was like looking at a foreign language. So, I hit the books, studied for 7 weeks and took the test.
All hard work brings a profit. Proverbs 14:23 (NIV)

Are you free???
Happy Independence Day America!!!! Today we celebrate our nation's freedom. I am so glad I live in a country where we are free, but greater freedom is available to all...
If the son sets you free, you shall be FREE indeed. John 8:36
You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you FREE. John 8:32
Freedom - the quality or state of being free
Free - to relieve or rid of what restrains
