I actually should be putting newspaper inserts together right now but it’s hard for me to break away from this because the interest is there now, and I have to talk when people are willing and ready to listen. Seems like people are always ready and willing to listen Sunday through Wednesday, which is when I have to get newspaper stuff done.

It’s been a very emotionally-exhausting week also. My daughter graduated a week from yesterday so I was already drained from preparing for that, and within the past week we’ve had a 40-something church member find out he has 3-4 stage 4 brain tumors, the mid-40’s son of one of our members dropped dead of either a heart attack or aneurysm in Kansas, a mid-50’s mother/grandmother in our congregation passed out at the wheel, drove into a pond, and after several days on a ventilator passed away, and my daughter’s speech coach who I am also friends with lost her son to stillbirth on the due date - in circumstances very, very similar to how we lost our first child, so it’s brought back a lot of painful memories as well as sorrow for my friend. Today we had a baptism celebration for a little 6-week-old baby boy that was a joy but also bittersweet because it reminded me of how much Angie lost when her baby died.

It’s also been a very, very active week for eligibility issues, and I’ve tried to keep up and point people to important information before the disinformation makes it around the globe a couple times. Even at best we are a small band of people who actually process facts, and the media - including the threatened “conservative media” - has a loud megaphone which spews constant disinformation. But we’ll stand together and be as big loudmouths as we can.

Who knows which one of us will give the “yop” that lets Horton know there is a “Who-Ville”. If we all just keep plugging away, one by one we can add voices and increase the volume to a non-avoidable level. =)
