You know, I believe we still have freedom of speech in this country as long as we don't talk about our Creator or the countries problems ... however, I can't just hide my head in the sand all of the time ... I do turn off the media ... I do not watch television hardly at all and when I do catch the news, it is only what they allow me to hear ... so I chose to do my best in my own little family, church, job and community and be prepared for the best of times and the worst of times ... and as I drove by the gas station last Monday, I noticed the price had gone up $.07; the next day it had increased $.12 more and by today it had increased by $.36 per gallon in less than one weeks time ??? makes you wonder just how far things will go ... as it surely didn't make me think it was going to be the best of times affording the rising gas prices ...
Do I want to ignore the politics or unite in making things better, because I have children, I have grand-children and I do want to help them make good choices, better ones than I made. I cannot give them the things I didn't have either, but I can give them an example to follow and if I don't feel good about the way things are heading, I will probably be known to say something or better than say it, I will probably be doing something about it ... but it truly does bother me to have those representing our Republic, our One Nation Under God, that do not even believe in what our forefathers did when they signed the Constitution ... men who knew that when they signed it they would either be backed and free or they'd be hung by the neck by morning ... what happened to real battles that stood for what is right??? instead of being fooled by the wolf in sheeps clothing?
I think it should be okay for us to talk on this forum about what is in our hearts with our dear friends that we grew up with and knew for so many years ... we all need somew here to talk and vent without being hushed ... there is enough of that going around and as you will see, in our near future we will be hushed even more... and not for the right reasons ...
WE do have one another ... let's keep that and let's keep our minds and hearts open ... love you all ... and looking forward to seeing you all ...
On the lighter side of things ... I am going to SLC a couple of times this next couple of months; attending a baby shower for the twins on the 12th; maybe catching a Zango meeting too while I'm there and maybe go to coffee or hot chocolate with a few if you think we can squeeze it in :) and then hoping to come back when the babies are born ... see you then :)Catherine
