Something I Posted On Twitter

(A response to another Twitter user)

As for me being led by the left, if you mean led by my faith and my friends who are open to new ideas, justice for all and inclusion of all human beings to the opportunities this country should provide them then yes call me a lefty liberal. I wear that badge with much pride.

Quote Of The Day – 3 Quotes Challenge Day 1

Three Days, Three Quotes

My fellow blogger Denny challenged me to do a 3 Day, 3 Quote Challenge and I have accepted. If you are a frequent visitor here I do love quotes and have almost 200 or so quotes posted on this blog. I even have a category in the special features menu above where they are curated and collected. I will be posting three new quotes starting today and running through Wednesday. There might even be a bonus quote if the inspiration strikes.

At the end I will nominate 3 fellow bloggers to follow suit. Stay tuned!

Teachers in Kentucky and Oklahoma are walking off the job for better pay and funding. I believe communities rise and fall based upon public education.

Teachers and students deserve better.
