Not long ago I read a joke ... It said all the politicians running for president are promising change to the American people. We send them billions and billions of tax dollars and they send us the change.
That got me to thinking: they all promise change. How about if they run on a promise of restoration rather than change? A restoration that would take us back in time to a place where things ran better, smoother and life was more enjoyable. Change? That, in truth, is what they have been giving us all along. Follow along.
We used to have a strong dollar ... Politicians changed that.
Life used to be sacred .... Politicians changed that.
Marriage used to be sacred .... Politicians are changing that.
We used to be respected around the world ... Politicians changed that.
We used to have a strong manufacturing economy ... Politicians changed that.
We used to have lower tax structures .... Politicians changed that.
We used to enjoy more freedoms ... Politicians changed that.
We used to be a large exporter of American made goods ... Politicians changed that.
We used to teach patriotism in schools .... Politicians changed that.
We used to enforce LEGAL citizenship .... Politicians changed that.
We used to have affordable food & gas prices ... Politicians changed that, too.
One could go on and on with this list. What hasn't been changed? Politicians are promising to change that as well if you will elect them. I think maybe it is time we get rid of some changes--- and rid of politicians too, maybe.
And that's something you can hang your hat on.

I am jealous of my neighbor. He always has the most amazing lawn. While I was mowing my grass over the weekend, I couldn’t help but stare again in amazement. His yard looks like a putting green on a golf course. It is more like carpet than grass. It’s perfectly manicured. I wouldn’t doubt it if he gets out in his yard in the middle of the night with tweezers to pluck the dead grass blades out. If there ever were a...read more...
It isn't the thing you do, dear,
Its the thing you leave undone
That gives you a bit of a heartache
At setting of the sun.
The tender work forgotten,
The letter you did not write,
The flowers you did not send, dear,
Are your haunting ghosts at night. read more...
