Love Your Enemies- How Decent People Can Save America From the Culture of Contempt:
Brooks beholds America’s 21st-century tribal feuds — which on a national scale add up to nothing less than a religious war, a clash of faiths and value systems — with a clear, intelligent eye and a hospitable attitude that is rightly focused on the spiritual dimensions of the problem: Only transcendence can open the way to better solutions down the road. The real swamp just now is in the American mind.
“My point is simple: Love and warm heartedness might not change every heart and mind, but they are always worth trying, and they will always make you better off.”

it’s just a number
the glass half full
they look different to you
even when it seems hopeless
they are few and far between
…And close your eyes
“When we choose not to focus on what’s missing from our lives but are grateful for the abundance that’s present…
we experience heaven on earth.”
Thanks this week go to Brad D, Carl L, Steve D, Don S, & Larry H.
Please pay it forward!
