Happy New Year?

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year and hopefully a safe one.



Just a comment or two on my previous post on Entitlement Mindset. Look at the picture and ask yourself, how did we get here? Young people rioting, looting, pillaging, throwing firebombs. Not for a righteous cause or liberty. It is, after all, their liberty that allows them to do this and not be shot and killed. Look at the police geared up like storm troopers ready to bash in heads, hidden aggression and violence, masked behind armor and face shields. Is this the way we really want our lives to be? Any of us? How have we degenerated to this? How do we reverse this trend, how do we back down the angst and hatred? This is what we need to concern ourselves with in the coming year lest we devolve into anarchy, and serfdom. Let us all pray for an end to this insanity and for lasting peace.
