Remember we are one nation under God

The times, they are a-changing.

With asteroids the size of school buses circling our Planet Earth and the Iran conflict, the dark storm cloud of Impeachment and the mindset of not living without cannabis, we welcomed in 2020.

In the New Year do we find life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness in a divided country or by living with a stronger conviction we are all united as one nation under God.

Let us remember these quotes please:

President Donald Trump's Inaugural Address from Jan. 20, 2017: "When you open your hearts to patriotism, there is no room for prejudice. The Bible tells us how good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity.

"We must speak our Minds openly, debate our disagreements honestly but always produce solidarity."

President Ronald Reagan said: "If we ever forget we are one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under."

When all Americans look into the evening sky and see the abundance of stars on a clear night, know we are looking into the face of God himself.

May America not be divided, But united we stand together, knowing in our hearts and souls God's vision for our country.

One nation under God.

Draft Jeopardy champ

I have just watched Ken Jennings become the 'Greatest of All Time' in the Jeopardy tournament of champions. I then tuned in to the Democratic debate from Des Plaines on CNN. It is quite obvious that Ken Jennings is way smarter than any of the Democratic candidates running for POTUS. The Democratic Party should draft Ken Jennings immediately to be their candidate if they want to defeat Donald Trump in November.

A ray of hope

I was thrilled to read the article in today's Daily Herald about the Lutheran church in Streamwood that shares its space with two other congregations. In this nasty divided world of "me first" this was an uplifting ray of hope. Hooray for the Lutheran pastor who reminded me of what Jesus probably would have done. Great story!
