What do I believe?
Oh well, at least it's not a small world. People say it is, but just try to swim the Bearing Strait. Less than a finger wide on the map. If it was a small world you'd have nie trubble wud ye?
The truth is that it is a large world filled with small people. Sad, but true. Penny-ante politics (no clue if that is how you spell penny-ante, but my spell checker buys it.) mess up every day life. Thieves run the country but are obviously not members of a reputable Thieves Guild. As the Hub used to say: "Oh Very Well"
And there you have it

Sittin in the mall and wondering why
Got to go to the large font so I can see it. The curse of age, you know. Seeing all the kids out of school here and wishing school could be 24/7 sometimes. But then again, I'm not that mad at anyone and wouldn't want to curse the teachers that badly for anything. At least a few of the kids are with a parent or two. I note that many of the stores are devoid of customers though. Oh well, gotta go get some vitamin c as per dr.'s orders.
Merry Thanksgiving and a Happy CHRISTmas.

Let's try that again
Armistice Day / Veteran's Day.
I guess there aren't many left who remember the origin of this day of observance. How many people remember back to 1918? They are nearly all gone. Those of you who have family in their 110's best go talk and reminisce with them. They will soon be gone like the veterans of the war for Southern Independence. (Weren't nothin' civil about it if you ask me.) Daddy and his brothers and sisters did their part during WW2 (the second war to end all wars) and I gave them 22 years of active service. I thank God that I never had to face an enemy with a gun trying to kill me. I have cousins that know that feeling and I know from their experience that I don't want to face that situation. Now My son and daughter-in-law are in harms way following orders and doing what they can. I think more than others I have an appreciation of this situation and the fullest of ramifications that can come. I know I certainly appreciate the nature of the situation more than many of our "leaders" and others in positions of power. I guess it's a good thing my finger is nowhere near the button.
If you can walk down the street and not fear for your life, you should thank a veteran (and policeman and firefighter and neighborhood watcher) because their blood makes it possible. The days of safety are numbered now and the number is getting smaller. The time has come to teach your children well, not just what they need for living, but what they need for life. Teach them about their ancestors and the trails and tribulations, the joys and sorrows, the good and the bad of their history. Hold nothing back because the world will not hold any evil back from them. Especially teach them about the nations and their relationship with God as well as their own personal relationship with God (and Jesus).
Heaven comes soon. Keep your eyes open and your ears tuned.
Live to serve and serve to live.
