This, that and a word of caution


    I hope you like our new web page. It gives us much more flexibility, especially with mobile devices. It also allows us to include former web sites that were stand-alone. We will be expanding it in the coming months.
     We all have been watching the country slide into anger and division. It is easy to become angry when you see our president dividing our country, forcing absurd policy using executive orders, and instituting foreign policy that guarantees global disorder and terrorism. Out of this has come a populist presidential candidate who is feeding on that anger. While he is right on many points, be careful you don't allow his vitriol to turn your anger into bitterness or hatred. Those are destructive emotions that blind a person to reality and positive solutions. Case in point: look at the insane actions of our president and other liberal progressives to see the results of those kinds of emotions. Let your anger motivate you to action and then ask yourself what each candidate actually plans to do and how would they pay for it. After all, "Make America Great Again" tells you no more than "Hope and Change" did eight years ago. And, we've all seen how the promise of hope and change has worked out.
     For those of you who have been praying for me and my stage IV colon cancer, it has been a rough year. I'll explain more in future posts, but for now I am doing much better and have energy to actually do things. I have a ways to go, so keep praying!
