Im a little late for Thanksgiving and a little early for Christmas, but I am thankful and grateful anyway. I understand the world right now is in chaos, and young people are having a difficult time deciding who's on first, but I honestly believe it will all work out one way or the other. We each need to decide where we stand on the issues, and stand fast on that belief. At the same time, we need to respect others positions on events and people. This country was founded on freedom... freedom to think, worship, live and speak as you wish. A great man once said, "I may not agree with what you say, but i will fight to the death for your right to say it". We need to greatful that we live in such a great country with such a great foundation. That foundation is predicated on a document written hundreds of years ago, but is a relevant today as it was then. The Constitution of the United States is an inspired document. It supports and defends the freedoms we enjoy today. We need to be sure we support and defend it.
Climbing down off of my soap box, I will everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanuka, or whatever celebration you believe appropriate for you and your family. The important thing is to live, love and enjoy. A freind told me the other day about something he had read. A note that said, "If your religion requires that hate and kill people who are different that you are, you need a new religion." Sounds like good advice.
