Everyone looks forward to these days when the truth shines bright and justice is done. Let’s strive to live life sticking with the truth, and treating others with respect – so that no one is waiting for chickens to come home on us.

How do you know a real leader from a pretender? Real leaders stick to the truth as they strive to move people towards a goal. Real leaders model the expected behaviors. Real leaders show humanity, caring, and concern because they actually believe it is important and the best way to live. When we believe in human leaders we have to be prepared to be let down because no one is perfect, but if we are getting a parade of lies something else is going on… not leadership.
If many of your friends are in jail and under investigation then it would be reasonable for people to suspect you of similar behavior or at least knowing about it. If your friends are saying they are protecting you or your interests; then the suspicion would logically be more intense. As adults and citizens we have a duty to seek the truth and act on it. Ideology should never push us to support lies or liars. Jesus told us that the truth would set us free – we all need to follow his guidance and protect our republic by supporting the pursuit of truth.
As we head into the shortest days of the year in the USA; remember that the cool or cold days you are experiencing will not be around for long. Think about any children in your life, kids, grandkids, nieces, nephews, etc. – the world they will live in will be significantly different (and harsher) if we don’t act decisively. Do anything that you can to decrease your carbon footprint and influence policy (vote) for responsibly tackling the problem of man-made climate change.
We all have so much to be thankful for:

The list is endless. There are always reasons to be concerned, and we have plenty now. There are a lot of reasons to be thankful including so many great Americans who care and who vote!
Our climate is changing due to human activity. Accepting this truth means that we have to do something about it. We are told that human behaviors that release carbon into the atmosphere are the chief cause of climate change. What can we do to reduce our carbon footprint (release of carbon per person)? Every able person should think about what you can do; fewer trips, hybrid cars, electric cars, public transportation, solar panels, efficient insulation …the list of is long. Communicate, learn, and share what you can about caring for our environment. Our lives and future depend on it.
The great state of California is on the front line of fighting Global Warming in more ways than one. Fires are an on-going threat to this beautiful state due to. Il are change. California also leads the efforts In this country to develop technologies and policies to mitigate the damage of climate change. We should all root for the brave fire-fighters, and the progressive leaders in business and government confronting man-made climate change.
Thank you veterans for your service to our country and the cause of freedom and truth. Without veterans we would not have the many blessings that we enjoy. Your service and sacrifice will not be forgotten as long as there are free men and women!
To everyone who voted this past Tuesday I say congratulations for fulfilling your duty as a citizen and thank you. No one got everything they wanted, but we made a difference. Now we move forward to our other duties as citizens which include staying up on societal issues, helping out in the community, and communicating to others about things that are important. Everyday is a fresh opportunity to make a difference- let’s seize the day and not cede it to bullies, or those who undermine dignity and respect.
As an African-American who has read a lot of history; I know Oprah is right. Anyone who fails to vote dishonors the struggles of their ancestors no matter what your origins. Humanity has moved to increasing levels of democracy (in certain countries). The progress towards greater access to the vote has come through pain and sacrifice. Now all you have to do is get registered and vote. Do your part.
