It’s Monday, Time To Get Back At It

Let’s get back at it today. Monday is happening whether we like it or not. Do your best today and I will do the same. Grace and peace.

Six Word Story

Time travel is tricky and risky.

The Week Ahead

As I look to the week ahead I know it will be less busy than the week before it. Also hopefully no more pulling of teeth. Let’s hope for the good stuff to happen.

A Shoutout To Like Everyone

We all have stuff to process and trying to be kind and open-hearted at the same time is admirable and noble. Be good, good people.

Disagreeable But Respectful

You can be disagreeable without being disrespectful. Cursing someone to get your point across diminishes your argument. All you have to do is say I disagree and explain your point and that should do hopefully.

Something About Law Enforcement

I support law enforcement. However, some police officers have no business wearing the uniform and carrying a gun. Better screening, better recruitment, and better training are needed. Also better pay to attract the best people who will become officers. Too many instances of what happened to Tyre Nichols, George Floyd, and others are happening. Police officers are to serve and protect or so I thought. Something must change. Change should have happened a long time ago.
