Prayers are with the new Government in France and their citizens. Hopefully this is a start of a great new future for France.

Don’t ever give up the good fight. Compromise is just a form of not believing in what you know is right.

We will be celebrating the 4th of July here in the USA and Bastille Day in 10 days should be one about pride, courage and hope for the people of France.

Many French people do not “celebrate” July 14th. A date that is viewed by many as infamous, the beginning of a bloody reign of terror that overthrew not only the Royal family, but was hell bent on the destruction of the church and religion as well.

Many of the problems of secular (laic) France of today can be traced back to their bloody heritage of July 14.

Tens of thousands of innocent people were guillotined by the French Revolution, including priests and nuns, the elderly and the very young.

The in-laws of La Fayette, our Revolutionary hero, the Noailles family, were guillotined in todays Place de la Concorde, the la Place de la Revolution. They were more that 80 years old.
