Happy Fourth of July


Grill up some hotdogs, make a dip with chips and a red white and blue dessert, it's time to celebrate the fourth of July, our Independence Day.  It is the birthday of our great nation, a cause for revelry. 

 A Little of the History of Independence Day History.com

When the initial battles in the Revolutionary War broke out in April 1775, independence from Great Britain was a radical idea.  By the middle of the following year, however, many more colonists had come to favor independence. 

On June 7, when the Continental Congress met at the Pennsylvania State House (later Independence Hall) in Philadelphia, the Virginia delegate Richard Henry Lee introduced a motion calling for the colonies’ independence. 

Amid heated debate, Congress postponed the vote on Lee’s resolution, but appointed a five-man committee—including Thomas Jefferson of Virginia, John Adams of Massachusetts, Roger Sherman of ConnecticutBenjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania and Robert R. Livingston of New York—to draft a formal statement justifying the break with Great Britain.Read more about 7 Events That Enraged Colonists and Led to the American Revolution

On July 2nd, the Continental Congress voted in favor of Lee’s resolution for independence in a near-unanimous vote. On that day, John Adams wrote to his wife Abigail that July 2 “will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival” and that the celebration should include “Pomp and Parade…Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other.” 

On July 4th, the Continental Congress formally adopted the Declaration of Independence, which had been written largely by Jefferson. Though the vote for actual independence took place on July 2nd, from then on the 4th became the day that was celebrated as the birth of American independence.

After the Revolutionary War, Americans continued to commemorate Independence Day every year, in celebrations that allowed the new nation’s emerging political leaders to address citizens and create a feeling of unity. 


Let's remember all those who gave their lives to the preservation of America, the greatest nation.  We started as a "grand experiment in democracy" according to Alexander Hamilton.  My wish for this fourth is for us to rekindle a spirit of unity. Unity is not sameness, it is working together for a common good.  Unity is critical for forward movement in families and nations.  It is great to be a part of this melting pot of people.  Enjoy your celebration.

Moving forward,

The Ultimate Sacrifice


Memorial Day is a time to honor those who gave their life serving our country.  The men and women we remember on the holiday chose to sleep in tents hearing enemy fire, eat food out of a can and ultimately give their life in order to guard our freedoms.  

We live in a time when we love our comforts, our luxuries, fine dining and a super soft mattress.  We think we can't live without them.  Is there anything so precious to you, for which you would give your life to preserve?  

As you enjoy a day off, take time to reflect on our history.  Pause at 3 pm on Memorial Day for a moment of silence and reflection on the sacrifice of the fallen. Men and Women of Integrity who serve in the military have a different view of our country and of life.  They choose a career that could cost them their life.  They see our country as worthy of defending.  We are blessed to live in the United States.  Of course our country has faults, we all have faults and our country is made up of a bunch of people who make mistakes.  

My challenge is to turn my mistakes into learning opportunities.  I want to be a giver not a taker.  "If you learn from defeat, you haven't really lost."  Zig Ziglar

I pray for you to have a blessed Memorial Day cherishing those you love and the life you have.   Thank a vet.

Moving forward,

He Came to Serve




Those in the Christian community have begun their "Holy Week".  (the remembrance of last week of Jesus life on earth)  The week started out amazing.  Palm Sunday.  As Jesus rode into town the crowds adored him, laid palm branches and their coats on the dirty pathway for him to ride through.  They yelled out praises to Him, honoring him as royalty.  He only lived a short 33 years on this earth yet we are still talking about him 2000 years later. He accomplished all he came to do in the time he had.  He didn't waste a minute.  We can learn a lot from his life, his legacy and his humble example.  He was all God and all man.  He can relate to our lives while he can see the future of all mankind.  

As this last week of Jesus life moved forward he spent time with his best buds, the 12 disciples.  He told them about what was to come but they didn't understand.  He had a passover meal with all 12 even the one that would betray him.  He washed their feet...a task usually performed by a lowly servant.  He was the son of God, God in the flesh yet he didn't use status to impress others.  

The night before he would be killed he took some of his disciples into the garden to pray.  He prayed so hard he sweated blood.  He asked that this cup be taken from him but if that was not God's plan he submitted to God's will.  The plan would give all men the pathway to a personal relationship with God.  In that garden, Jesus friends fell asleep.  Jesus woke them just as the guards came to take him away to be crucified.  

The day of crucifixion is now called Good Friday.  Why good?  It appeared the evil had triumphed.  But Jesus didn't stay dead. He conquered death for him and for all who believe.  That was good for us all.

Sunday when some ladies who loved Jesus came to the cave/grave they found it empty.  That was the first Easter.  

Easter is a celebration of the risen Savior, of new life and joy.

Moving forward

Friday is Career Day



 

Every Friday of our Basic Freight Broker Training Course is Career Day… or Resource Friday.

 

After learning the ins and outs of being a freight broker in our course we introduce graduates to Freight Brokers who are looking for agents.  Talk with these successful Freight Brokers  about becoming an agent or starting your own brokerage. It is a win-win situation.  The freight brokers that offer opportunities on Friday know that Brooke training is thorough.  They know we teach with integrity and enthusiasm.  So when they find a graduate that likes their opportunity it is a winning situation for both.

 

We also have service companies who can help with the set up of a brokerage office, financing needs, load board insider information, and more.  

 

We have a variety of professionals Brooke has worked with over the decades in the industry.  We put out the invitation and get a great response.  The mix of who comes to resource Friday varies but the quality of opportunities is always rich.

 

We’d love to sign you up for our freight broker training course, in English or 
Spanish.  Spend a week with us, learn what is needed, then get a career opportunity handed to you on a silver platter.

 

I thrive on meeting our students, seeing them grow in knowledge during the week then find the career opportunity that is right for them.  

 

Join us soon.

 

Moving forward,

Martin Luther King


Today we celebrate a great man who left us too soon.  It is Martin Luther King Day.  Take a minute to reflect on the man, his legacy and impact on people of all. Martin Luther King was a man who knew how to bring people together.  As a man of God, He understood how to have reconciliation without compromise of values.  We need that kind of wisdom in life, in politics and in our families.  The  Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. was a devout pastor, transformational civil rights leader, and courageous activist. Reverend King changed the course of history by envisioning and articulating a path toward a better future for all Americans.

He bravely fought for equality and freedom.

Reverend King was living with his family in Montgomery, Alabama when Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white man on December 5, 1955. As black leaders began mobilizing across the city, 26-year-old Martin Luther King Jr. was chosen to lead the first major nonviolent demonstration against segregation, the Montgomery Bus Boycott, as the spokesperson and president of the Montgomery Improvement Association. 

That is how he started on his calling to recognize all men are created equal.  As you continue on your own journey recognize your own ability to honor and encourage others, seek peace, and reconciliation.

Moving forward,

Jeff Roach
