America needs to do better, one person at a time. I think all lives matter but I have been told that diminishes the black lives matter movement….Well life is temporary and we all need to matter, no matter what.
The Secret Life Of Pets…Fabulously Furry Fun!
This movie is adorable. It’s full of fun, action and heart. Its kind of a flight of furry fancy about what goes on when pets people go to work. Pets do have secret lives and they can live very interesting lives when we aren’t looking. Dogs, cats, birds and other critters make this movie awesome. It is so worth seeing in the theater. The animation is state-of-the-art and it makes New York where the movie is set look amazing. Like most movies of this genre there is an all-star cast featuring Louis CK, Jenny Slate, Eric Stonestreet and Kevin Hart. We saw a 5:10 PM presentation of it and the theater was packed. It could be the top box office hit of the weekend.
Keep Cool This Summer On The Cheap
I found a video similar to this on Facebook today and became fascinated. For not a lot of money you can make a DIY portable air conditioner with some parts you can get from your local hardware store. This is so cool and it does keep you cool.
Evil Should Not Lead To More Evil
Evil actions should not lead to more evil actions. When that happens people lose the moral argument. I hope for cooler heads to prevail and the middle ground will be found. Let there be peace on our streets today, Lord hear our prayer.
Big Blue, Big Blues
This is a beautiful place. It’s known by some as “Big Blue” but lately it suffers from “big blues”. Lots of mean things are happening here. Violence, unrest, suffering. Granted there are also good things happening but in the past few weeks we are reminded of how fragile the whole thing is. Good people we must strive to change things in a meaningful and profound way. Pray and work for peace. This place is worth it. Lord hear our prayer.
To Serve and Protect. Senseless Killings Must Stop Everywhere
I am a supporter of law enforcement. Many of it’s rank and file do great things in the communities they serve. However good law enforcement begins with training, temperance and a little tolerance along the way. Too many people have lost their lives unnecessarily due to incidences that could have been prevented. Law enforcement should be there to serve and protect even those who they are apprehending. Some people do bad things and threaten community and they need to be brought to swift justice by whatever legal means necessary. It’s also up to community and government to work together so that people aren’t brought to a point of desperation to do bad things.
The senseless killings this week are a reminder that life in all its stages is important and valuable. We have seen the names flash upon our screens and devices. Those people did not deserve to die. We can pull the trigger of a gun and public opinion too quickly without having all the facts. Too many people are no longer with family and loved ones because of that. It needs to stop. People are important, everywhere.
