What is in our future


The picture to the left is interesting. On one hand it shows mother and son, it might show a son who is preparing for a future based on living in the wilderness, it might show a mother concerned about the future or it might just show a mother and son on a hike and they found the trail blocked by a fallen tree. The last option was the truth. What did they do? Walked around the tree and went on with their hike. Tomorrow morning we will awaken to a new day, a new president will have been elected and we will set a new course for the future. If your candidate didn't win and you are sure the future holds doom and gloom, prepare, learn to survive in the woods, keep lots of dried food around scatter ashes over your head as you wail. If your candidate did win, be loving to those who supported the other guy. Don't gloat, demonstrate love. Above all, we need to commit to holding our elected officials accountable for their actions or inaction's. Election to any office should not be a permanent post. Twelve years would be great for any representative or senator. If they can't do anything in twelve, they won't do anything in twelve or twenty more. Let's make twelve and out the new cry for all Representatives and Senators. Keep the new blood running in and out of Washington. Even if it's "your guy or gal" vote them out after twelve. We don't need term limits, we need self-control. As we wait for the announcement of the next president, as if anyone is in doubt, remember, twelve is the magic number. 6 + 6 = OUT!
