Happy Independence Day to all Americans out there.

This wonderfully unique town is a great town with a hour long parade over these last few years for the 4th of July. It’s awesome to see how many people turn out.

I’ve hung out at the corner of W Chestnut and Main Street in downtown Pardeeville for the last 10+ years, sometimes with the kiddos, most of the time, not. This year, they were demonstrating with Team Eclipse with the Plumer Karate America Portage group.

And now, here’s the video of the Plumer Karate America – Portage’s ninjas in training doing a demonstration, including the Team Eclipse (with Willem – double chucks, and Lillian – sword).

For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. For the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” But if you bite and devour one another, take care that you are not consumed by one another. But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh. For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law.
