I know I’M depressed. Haven’t been the same since 11/6. The last 4 years sucked...but I had been so hopeful going into this time. That’s why it hit so hard.

I find some good in each day (not in the news, of course)..and have been planning on early next year. One foot in front of the other...

It was a real downer, but a lesson as well.

This should be called “the last generation”, a I honestly doubt we’ll have many more children born of 2 native-born Americans. Not pointing fingers; my wife was imported decades ago as a child (when this country had jobs and opportunity and the new northern urban dwellers made clear they weren’t interested); most of our children’s friends have either one or both parents imported (in a town that is still officially “white”).

You’re not the only one, there are many of us out there.

Always some good in God's world to keep one from obsessing with what Men do. Yesterday, I was blessed with a couple opportunities to spend about 10 minutes overall while helping 3 separate people in small ways. I was further blessed by the reaction of the older woman who offered payment for helping with her car - I told her she had already paid me by showering God's Blessings on me when she accepted my offer of help - a bit of initial shock hit her face then her eys sparkled and she lit up with a smile - I guess I don't look like a bad guy, but also don't look like one who would carry His Word to folks.

Hang in there and count blessings instead of fretting about the mess the world is in - He has decreed it will happen before He comes back to stamp out the evil that pollutes us all - we can't stop it, only become distracted from our real job of carrying the Good News of the Gospels...
