Thank you, Mr Jefferson

Today I am grateful for the words from the Declaration of Independence: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I bought a book some months ago called The Faith Club: A Muslim, A Christian, A Jew - Three Women Search for Understanding. I'm reminding myself that I should read the book, and embrace and celebrate the differences between us.

It was hard to think of a photo to illustrate this post, but I decided on this one taken from the steps of the Capitol.
