Who among you would trade his life today, as poor as you may be, for the lifestyle of a king in medieval times? No Internet, no planes, no cars or trains or computers or vaccinations or central heating and air conditioning or running hot water or antibiotics or modern surgical techniques. The poorest person in America reading this Web site on his computer has a lifestyle outstripping those of most monarchs in history. But many of you (mostly lefties) are still bitching that someone else has it better.
That’s my long-winded response to the Barack Obamas who whine about income inequality. Just because someone else has it better doesn’t mean you don’t have it pretty damned good. So shut up and go enjoy something that this amazing world has made available to you for free.
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.
