January 18, 2012__"Auction or Election" Ever noticed how the modern day political election seems more like an Auction? Doesn't matter what the candidates true values are... Only how much they can sell you, on the idea, that they know, what you want, or need... And money spent on advertising, (TV, Radio, Internet or Print) is how they bid for your attention (and VOTE). And at the end of the day, it seems most people, will vote for the last name they remember when they cast their vote. A sad commentary on the American Voter, wouldn't you say? January 1, 2012__"Those that departed in 2011" The passing of a life is sad, no matter what the place in society... reflect on that, so let us all give thanks, we still have time to become a better person to someone known or unknown to us in this coming year... A "toast" to the Human condition, Let us each in our own way become an example to others of the better things in life... Those things which bring us all together, those thing that will make the whole better than the parts... January 1, 2012__"New Year" Well it's a new year... Let us give thanks to God... Pray, for the courage, knowledge and strength to do his will...
