Thankful
Now that we are in the holiday season, and about to begin a new year, I start to ponder if I used the year that is going out productively. While, I didn't accomplish all that I would have liked to, and that was due to procrastination on my part, I realize I did get a few things accomplished. I am thankful that I am employed, my children and I have our health, we have a roof over our heads and food on the table. The basic necessities. I am thankful that the reason for the holiday, Christmas, is CHRIST! I think that gets lost in all the Black Friday sales and hype. That is not Christmas is all about. It's about love, giving, sharing and caring about the well-being of your fellow man. It is a celebration of life. It's about the most awesome gift that was given to mankind: CHRIST! If folks weren't so hyped about what they can get cheap on Black Friday, and focused more on the CHRIST in Christmas, they wouldn't suffer from the "holiday stress" the news speaks so much of this time of year. Remember, Jesus is the reason for the season.

From the Mouth of Babes
My 13 year-old son came in my room this morning and said to me"Why can't the Democrats and Republicans just work together? That's what our founding fathers did."
Out of the mouth of a child. Now that the mid-term elections are over and the Republicans have regained seats in the House of Representatives, they are saying things are going to be different. How? What changes are going to be made? Are you truly going to be an agent for the betterment of this country or are you going to continue to fight tooth and nail to unravel all that has been done not only in the last two years, but decades?
Why can't the Democrats and Republicans just work together with one common goal in mind? Why must there be a continuous parade of mudslinging and blame hurled back and forth? I think once some people get in office, they forget, it's not about them, it's about this country and all it was founded on and what it stood for. We lost that a long time ago. Many politicians on both side of the aisle are only worried about what they can get out of it and making a name for themselves. They only care about where it is taking them, not where it is taking this country. And right now, that appears to be a a dark path of destruction. Yes, I said it. If the politicians and the American people don't wake up and realize what is happening and work together for the good of all the citizens of this country, we will fall from the inside and we won't have anyone to blame but ourselves.
United we stand divided we fall.
