Post New Deal Democratic politics offers two alternatives: Vote Democrat to steal from those who are most productive and give to others what they've not earned, or be labeled a hater.

This blog is looking for wisdom, to have and to share. It is also looking for other rare character traits like good humor, courage, and honor. It is not an easy road, because all of us fall short. But God is love, forgiveness and grace. Those who believe in Him and repent of their sins have the promise of His Holy Spirit to guide us and show us the Way.
