Happy Birthday, Mom! God Be With You, Brother!

God Is In Control!

My mom's birthday is on October 21st.  She would have been 83 since her transition.  My brother is having major surgery that day.  I love them both!  God is merciful and has everything under control.  HE knows what HE doing and no one can do it better!  To God give the glory!

Grandstanding? No way!

14 days on government shutdown and the sleaze is oozing.

Cherish Our Love Ones!

Lord, we need you now more than ever.  You are calling our elders home.  You know what is best for them and there is no more suffering but peace and praise with you!

This Is A Hate Crime!

This is another act of stupidity and people gone wild.  An innocent soldier celebrating the end of his service with his friends was attacked and killed because he was white.  The police in Lakewood, Washington reported that black men in a car yelled “cracker” repeated as the soldiers were walking along the sidewalk.  The two groups confronted each other but the report stated that the driver called it off after learning the soldiers were combat veterans.  But, one jerk wanted to be bad and stabbed Army Specialist Tevin Geike as they were leaving.  Not only are soldiers sacrificing their lives for our freedom everyday, we have jerks like this taking their sacrifices for our freedom for granted.  I still believe that the draft for military service should be reinstated.  It should be for all dropouts from the ages of 17-19 and mandatory for that same age group even if they have found a stabile career.  Shameful.  This country has enough problems already between the races and it seems to get worse everyday.
