Interesting Time In Politics, Get Out And Vote

With Bernie Sanders endorsing Hillary Clinton yesterday and Theresa May becoming British Prime Minister today and of course Donald Trump this is an interesting time in politics around the world. It will be interesting to see how the US election goes. May will be leading the UK out of the EU so that will bring about significant changes globally and for some locally. Theresa May is the second female PM so will the USA see a Female President. If that happens 3 major world powers will have women at the helm.

Politics is ultimately about power and how people manipulate it. There is something about power that changes people.

I am fascinated by how things are going in other races that don’t involve the race for the White House. Politics is very local and personal too. Your local officials such as mayor, city council and county commissioners have way more impact on your own day-to-day life than anything nationally.

No matter what, know the issues and vote. It’s important for those who have the freedom to choose to do so. Politics is ugly but its even uglier when you don’t participate. Make your voice heard, its a good thing to do.

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.

Yea, It’s Thursday!

This week has scooted by due in part to the Independence Day holiday on Monday. It seems so long ago though for some reason. Today is another opportunity to do good things. I just hope I am good enough for the tasks. We shall see how things go. Have a great day everyone. Do your best. Grace, peace and love.
