Now that the “13 Steps Toward Independence” series is finally done, I want to stop blogging for awhile and start a new section of the RGB Web Page: PICS, where many of our photos will be placed for viewing (more than Dorothy has on Facebook). I also want to add to the WRITINGS section.
For those who took “13 Steps…” too seriously: lighten up. A Blog is based on opinions and I have expressed opinions, not demands, nor the only ways to save the world. I may have been in error here and there but, of course, I don’t think so. In setting down some ideas, my real purpose was to demonstrate how currently we do not think “outside the box”. Everything seems to be right and left, conservative and liberal, Republican and Democrat, traditionalist and reformer, and so on. But it’s time to look for innovation and solutions for all, not just for the victory of one side of an argument. Our nation and our world are faced with desperate challenges; our people seem to be divided 50/50 on many issues; possessors of opposing viewpoints seem to hate each other. It’s time to step back and reassess our methods.
Where are the patriots, the statesmen, the independent thinkers who might lead us to a better day? It’s time to cast off “political correctness” and put our trust in the Lord God, not in ourselves alone. He made us logical, rational, reasoning beings in His own image, and it is time to trust Him to show us how to use what we already possess.
