He shall judge between the nations, and shall decide disputes for many peoples; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore… Isaiah 2:4

Hey gang, good morning, good afternoon or good evening (depending on when you read this) the week is halfway done. The challenges are many but coffee is our friend right?

I am kinda dreading Thursday because I go back to the dentist for what will be another process of fixing my teeth. But once its done then it will be OK I hope.

Be mindful of the needs of others today, everyone could use a boost.

My friends I hope you are having a good week so far. Whatever challenges you are facing may they be conquered with vigor and gusto. Survive today and make it through!

A Commentary On Parkland

There is a special place in hell for those who smear the survivors of the Parkland, Florida high school shooting. It makes me sick to hear of “crisis actor” conspiracies that are running rampant because some want to sweep this event under the rug so that everything can go back to the status quo. I hope these kids and kids everywhere will keep the volume up to 100 so that changes will be made for the betterment of the communities that makes up our country. We owe it to the survivors of all mass shootings and to those who have died to honor their memory.

Quote Of The Day

One of the secrets to staying young is to always do things you don’t know how to do, to keep learning. Ruth Reichl

Still True About The Work I Do
