Regime Change?

I'm torn between sharing my feelings on the current events of the day, or not adding to all the shouting. I'm listening and reading and struggling with a lot of what I'm seeing and hearing. Some is obvious. some harder to figure out. What is true in an age when truth is determined not by right and wrong, but by the judgement of the beholder?

Hopefully all these protests and unrest will tear down some of the racial injustice in our country and get rid of police brutality - though seeing the social media responses from one young acquaintance in law enforcement, we may still have a ways to go.

But what some are missing is the chaos being created by the Marxists and Communists working to further divide and destroy our country. Perhaps it’s time to take down monuments to Confederate generals (though Jews wanted Auschwitz to remain as a reminder of those atrocities). Rioters aren’t stopping at the Confederate statues: they’re attacking statues and monuments honoring those who worked to free slaves, churches, and statues of Jesus. There’s a move afoot to change the name of the state of Rhode Island. Yale bears the name of a slave trader, but liberals have yet to call for its name to change. What’s next – the state of Washington? Or the name of the tournament put on by the Augusta National Golf Club?

If you look hard enough there’s something wrong with everyone. All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Should all monuments be torn down? At some point grace and forgiveness must enter the equation.

 

Can similarities be seen between today's riots and Jim Jones' cult?

Yesterday Ceil left around 9:15 to take her mom to the dermatologist. Got the places on her forehead removed as well as something on her back. Then they went to the plastic surgeon to help with her forehead. They didn’t get home until after 9 pm. They stopped by Chickfila on the way home. Both were exhausted from the day. 

Barney and I had a quiet day of work. Just after 5 pm Uncle Lennie and Aunt Corrine stopped by to visit. At six I drove to CVS to pick up a prescription for C’s mom. The line at Wendy’s was long so I settled for Taco Bell across the street. Watched The Hunt for Red October, a great movie.

RANDY JOHNSON  [SABR Bio] has struck out more batters than any other lefty in history - 4,875 career strikeouts, second all-time. Some of his best work was done wearing a mullet. “Business in front—party in back.” He was the first pitcher to win both games six and seven of a World Series on consecutive days – games 6 & 7 won on 03- & 04-Nov-2001

Shoe # 34: a slightly different dad shoe - another white leather New Balance walking shoe. To be clear, these shoes are not owned by me. Wearers of these will soon be a target of the rioters.
