Power in the Wrong Hands

Almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creed into law if it acquires the political power to do so. - Robert A. Heinlein This is happening right now.  Great care should be taken when voting someone into power. As we are witnessing right now, terrible and grave things happen when the wrong folk are put into powerful places... Some of these people have always wanted to "reset" things to how they used to be, and once they were handed the power to do so, they quickly set their plans into action:  a speeding train into regression.  All we can do is brace ourselves, pray, and vote for change. Hopefully, when change comes it will correct the damage that's been done to our cultures and our Nation, closing the chasms of division. Pray!

Family

They can be messy, vicious, and liars. They can be needy, weird, and a little bit crazy. Uppity, gossips, and two-faced. Yeah, they can be that too. They can be so holy, they are of no earthly good to you or anybody else they think are "beneath" them. They can be kind, loving, and always there. They can be supporters, advisors, and listeners. Best of all, they can friends. Who have I been describing? Family. Families are made up of a lot of different kinds of people. Some like each other...some don't. They are definitely not all friends. It's a true blessing when you have family members who are also genuine friends.
