The Status Quo
Two of the loudest voices I heard from Wednesday, before my Wi-Fi went out was a Former Speaker and a Fox Host. Former Speaker Newt Gingrich has maybe a thing or two he could say having been in that position. However Kilmeade had some kind of chip on his shoulder with Rep Tim Burchett. Yet…

Speaker McCarthy
He is not going to run for Speaker again. Even while he was the Minority Leader, more Women are in Congress because of him. The Conference Chair stood firm with those words this afternoon, Elise Stefanik of New York. Republicans one after another spoke with such conviction men and women in one accord. Some of…

Chaos Erupts
The thought of Rep. Matt Gaetz actually accruing all the votes necessary didn’t seem feasible this morning. Boy was I wrong. When he first came onto the scene a few short years ago he was energetic and a Republican. I understand both sides of this issue. The CR, the Continuing Resolution is an enabling function…

Time To Heal
When I first left Fellowship Grandpa Freddy had been gone for two years. No matter where I went in the Church I could see him and tears would consume me for no other reason but the fact I was still mourning. It would take years maybe even an entire decade for me to stop getting…

Care Taking
Today I walked past a bathroom stall. Memories from over three years ago came to mind. There are times when taking care of the ones you love can be difficult. Isn’t that what family does for family though? Love is a verb. Taking care of the ones who took care of you as a child…

Transferring the Love of Music From Family
One of my Uncle Mike’s favorite bands was Abba. Some of these hits are still timeless songs. I have enjoyed singing along with these melodies all my life, yet when Mamma Mia came out I didn’t watch any of them. We got an intriguing opportunity to hear a group at Branson. They sang such an…

Facebook Memories…
Over the previous week a few of my past posts have been showing up on my notifications. I have mentioned one of the posts a couple days ago. Today we knew we had to say goodbye to my Uncle Mike. The timing has been like a sucker punch to the gut with my Aunt’s passing…

Time and Writing
Time has just flown by. This week I got a memory from Facebook on Thursday. A lady from church was asking me about my Uncle and his predicament, and posted that she just got the prayer chain call about it. This post is now 11 years old now and besides my uncle being gone so…

Honoring A Senator: Diane Feinstein
Death is always a sad fact of life no matter the party affiliation. Her term was not set to end until January 2025. She had health issues though and it’s not being mentioned as to a specific symptom or illness that took her, but she had dealt with shingles and encephalitis and was absent from…

Access or Illusion of Access
This word was used a lot yesterday and has been used over the last couple of years. The term ‘the sale of access’ has been used as well. Honestly I wish I had even the slightest bit of access that this means to my boyfriend. Texting isn’t like having him with me especially on his…
