Abortion

Abortion.
I don't agree with it, but I am not God.
Donald Trump:  are you securing Hillary's victory?
We win when we love
Not when we hate.
When you single out people for reprimand, your backtracking does no good.
You can't take it back.
What do you believe, really?
No politically expedient beliefs.

Just no nice words.

God Bless,

Loss for words

The Republican Party...I've lost the words for it!
The fight in NC?
Donald Trump in a blue tie?
Red goes with Republican
Have we lost our minds?
Some thoughts.

Good

After seeing all these terrorist attacks, how does one reconcile anger with the hope one has?  It's not something I've come close to answering.  I'm angry. I'm sad.  Hope and love always win, but at what cost?
Politics is in a sad state.We are in a sad state.
We fear, we despise.  We feel let down.  What have we sown though.  Are we reaping what we sow?  I believe that there's good in the world, we just show the bad.
We need to see the bad with the good, but maybe newscasts should switch the order of importance?
Just a thought.

Good

It's Good Friday, and I can't discuss all the savagery, hurt and nastiness in the world.  Jesus's act of sacrificial love is too great.

Thoughts

When did a catfight erupt politically between Trump and Cruz?  When did Harvard educated men become so uncouth and stupid?

When did we become a country of factions?

Why have we commercialized every holiday for most faiths?

We are all prejudiced in some way.

Frankly, I've lost hope, even if I know it's not right.

At the end of the day, I have hope in Jesus.

Man will disappoint you.

I want my hopeful self back.

The world needs hope, a smile and a whole lot of faith.

God Bless,
R

love and war

We love
We hate
We fight
We want peace

What do we want?  After seeing Brussels, I don't know.
Some takeaways:
The nicer you are, the more you get hurt. Belgium has been so tolerant of others, and this happens. When you have to change who you are to survive, it's sad.
Our world is changing faster, and we can only hope to keep up.

All I can control is myself, and let go of the rest.
God Bless us all,

Cuba

President Obama visited Cuba today, and I applaud the move.  We can talk about political prisoners, we can talk about socialism, we can talk Gitmo, but we can't heal a lifetime of wounds with one visit. Rome wasn't built in a day.  We can't repair the sins of others, of ourselves.  I have hope, what other choice is there.  Hate doesn't breed results.  I realize the Castros have done many unjust things, but as long as they are still in the power, you work with the cards your dealt.  I will not punish a son or daughter for the sins of the father, and we do.  China has human rights abuses and political prisoners, and every time you buy a product made in that country you support what you despise.
The only recourse I have is to do my best, pray and let Him do the rest.

God Bless,
R

love and hate

War.  We love to hate.  We hate to love.
When will it end?
God help us!
God Bless,

water cooler

Water cooler talk:

Will it be a contested convention?

Will Paul Ryan sneak in the conversation?

This is almost a thriller.  Entertainment at its finest. 

Then we have the Supreme Court. 

Maybe I should just sit back and enjoy the show?

If you can't beat em join em. 

This is a battle with no winners. 

We all lose. 

We have seen the worst in people, I just hope I see the best.  I know it's there. 

God Bless us,

R

the heart

It's Super Tuesday, but there is something more important I have to say.
When Ben Carson formally endorsed Donald Trump for President at a press conference, He said there were two sides to Donald Trump, and frankly it doesn't sit well with me.  My grandfather always would tell me you're either good or bad.  I always found the statement too simplistic.  I can see it now.  You just don't flip and flop sides of your character to suit your needs.  If one must do that, then I wonder if you like who you are.  No matter what happens today, it is imperative I accept the outcome no matter what I may feel.  It says more about me than anything else.  Life is not about means to an end.  You don't end up changing Washington, it ends up changing you.
My heart knows better, no matter how much it may hurt.
God Bless,
R

Entertaining

Has running for President become a joke?
A foreign reporter claimed the race was entertaining.
Say what?
We can't agree to disagree civilly.
This race has shown why I can't put faith in a man.
Man will disappoint you, intent or not.

God Bless,
R

My thoughts

The debate last night finally had something:  substance and civility.  I'm no Trump supporter, but who knew he could be civil.  I don't agree with some of his statements.  He sounds like a Democrat, just with lots of money.  I've found that money doesn't buy class or intelligence.  You are willing to try to make a deal with the Palestinians at any cost it seems, yet you assert that most of the 1.6 billion Muslims hate us or want us dead.  Hamas and Hezbollah support the Palestinian Authority.  The Iran deal is one of the worst you've seen, yet you can deal with one terrorist and hate another.
Your forty five percent tariff on China is absurd.  When Ted Cruz explained about people shopping at Wal-Mart, and the tariff they would pay, Trump said we would build it here.  He wants to go back to isolationism, and that experiment didn't work well.  If you're so concerned about trade you need to thank your buddy Bill Clinton for that fiasco.  I am not anti-American, but we are interdependent due to globalization.  It is what it is.  You use illegal foreign workers because every business does it, well put your money where your mouth is.  You can't pick and choose.
You are not afforded the benefit of the doubt if you want this office.
It still means something, or at least I hope it does.
