These are pics of my Dad, Brothers, Pat & Jimmy & myself & no we are not losers...We served because it was our duty & belief that America was the most decent country on earth..
Perfect, of course not, just look at the racial & social injustice that still exists...We served with men & women of all political affiliations & we chose to respect one another for we were all on the same side, something solely lacking today...It is now the duty of our President & all his supporters to honor theirs...Just ranting that this was a rigged election doesn't make it so & it is a direct assault on what I believe our military served & even died for...I am also tired of some folks believing that God only favors one side or the other...In my meager & ongoing study God loves us all & has bestowed His grace on all...Yes, I am Christian & a
Liberal...Horrors, I know, many of you are losing your minds as how can that be...Well Jesus is my savior & I hope you agree yours also no matter who you voted for...This is my one & only political post, but I finally decided that after enduring 4 years of these offensive & dishonest posts from some folks, that it was now my time...
I will not engage in any back & forth, because as I just stated this was & will be my one & only political response, period!....I am not interested in a fight, just peace...
"Get in good trouble, necessary trouble, and help redeem the soul of America." John Lewis...
"We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools"...Martin Luther King Jr...
"Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister is still in the darkness. Anyone who loves their brother and sister lives in the light, and there is nothing in them to make them stumble."..1 John 2: 9-10

We The People

        I've sat back for over these past four years & kept silent as the daily Facebook political posts supporting our now ex-President became even more alarming...Now it's my turn to make my voice known...I can not sit idle any longer...This posting is lengthily & it's my space to write down my thoughts so be fore warned...      Well here it is March 25, 2021 & 563,530 fellow Americans are gone because of the pandemic...We had an inept President & administration for whom facts just didn't matter...The most important duty of a President is to protect us all from foreign & domestic harm & he failed miserably...He has still exhibited no empathy or apology...It still continues to be everyone else's fault..What an inept disgrace of a leader & American... It's amazing to me that he continues to be unfazed & that his cult members still support him...The lies & conspiracy theories continue & we are more divided & dangerous

My Recent Thoughts

 I previously posted this on Facebook &  I am re-posting it here on my blog so it will forever be part of my story.   If you are okay with a Supreme Court that has no public policy for conduct or oversight, then keep voting for Republicans. If you are okay with our government deciding what's best for a women's body, then keep voting for Republicans. If you are okay with all these mass shootings & the massacring our children, then keep voting for Republicans. If you are okay with more guns & less legislation on limiting access to them, then keep voting for Republicans. If you are okay with the continuing hate being used against the LBGTQ community, Asians, people of Color, people with Disabilities, Drag Queens & Disney, then keep voting for Republicans. If you are okay with the lies about the last Presidential election & who won & a certain news network saying that January 6th was just a few folks wanting to take a peaceful tour of the Congress,

Time To Say Goodbye

   Well it's really the right time to end this journey of mine with this final post.  I just turned 74 & while I'm not throwing in the towel, I am mindful of the time I may have left.  I was shocked to just find out that the average male life expectancy in the U.S. is 73.  I'm certainly hoping to be given enough years to spend as much time as possible with my wife, Ella Mae of 53 years, my amazing Daughter Lindsay, Son-in Law Jeff, Grandchildren CJ, Daniele, Aden & Addison & as of today, our one Great Grandchild Brynlee & her Mom Amber (I surely want more) & the many friends who have made me so happy, especially John Detor.     Thanks to all the above plus Mom & Dad, Pat, Jimmy & all the                     Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Friends     I have been blessed with a wonderful life
