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.
God Bless,

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.
God Bless,

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.

God Bless,

thought

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,

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,
R

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
