To my regular readers I apologize for not posting anything yesterday and today on this daily blog. It might happen much later today ... if at all. I've been extremely busy with helping out at our church's pumpkin patch and enjoying our grandchildren - special event last night at their church, Saturday morning at a local farm's harvest festival and then later this afternoon at our own church's harvest festival.
If I had the time to write it would be about the Rally to Restore Sanity being held today in DC. It is about time somebody tried to do something because our nation has gone a little crazy - with all the hate speech going on, attack ads, mistrust of one political party after another ... bottom line: no one seems to care about our countries future only their own political future. Besides, it is insane that we are so worried about being attacked again that we are turning the world inside out fighting a war we had no good reason to start all out of some misplaced fear. As Jon Stewart recently said, "We survived a Civil War. We are not going to disappear. We are not fragile. We are not going to break." We just need to relax, take a deep breath and quit this blue state/red state, Tea Party stuff and move forward. My daughter reminded me of a statement written by David Eisenhower and Julie Nixon (who are husband and wife). They were quoting their fathers who said, "The country can only stand a moderate conservative or a moderate liberal." We have to operate from the middle not from the edges. If we continue to move in either direction (liberal or conservative) we will destroy ourselves in the attempt to preserve ourselves.
Anyway ... that is just a little of what I would have written. Maybe later today or this evening I will get to finish my thoughts.
Grace and peace,
Jim
