Today's reflections

Today, my wife has returned from New Orleans, a place she described as Sodom and Gomorrah. My youngest daughter, Cass is shopping with friends. Matt is with his girlfriend and Amy is visiting her mom. My youngest children's mom is near death in a hospital waiting for a nursing home to open for her. The viciousness of cancer.

Tina and I are heading to a friend's 60th birthday party. I spent most of the day in our store, Gifts Of Light, visiting with people. The interesting part of the day, was a man who is 67 years old telling me how he discovered jazz after all these years and is now doing a radio program.

The final week before Christmas and only one person left to shop for-yowee! Amy-the hardest one.

Tina's daughter Alyssa was sentenced to two weeks in jail for possession of narcotics and 2 years probation. I have to admit I was really shocked that they put her in jail. Two children....

This morning I read the news. A 17 year was arrested for lewd and lascivious conduct with a minor of 13 years old. A felony. Yet, I sat there and thought we allow 13 year olds to have abortions without their mother or father's permission, obviously stating sex is ok at 13. So, why wouldn't he have thought this was right.

It just leads me to believe that we will have to stand up for what is right or see our freedoms, our liberties and our beliefs relinquished to those that will.
