Even Now...

It's easy to lose focus of what's important in life when things don't seem to be going my way.

The United States has a Congress that is not listening to it's constituents. (I know, they ARE politicians and are SKILLED Liars.)
Our country is on the verge of bankruptcy and our elected officials continue to spend money like a drunken sailor on leave.
It's like the old saying about falling from a high place; it's not the fall that kills you...
I feel for my kids and their entire generation (and those to follow) for the huge dump that is going to fall on them for OUR financial transgressions.

I loathe the fact you can't have a civil conversation in the U.S; verbally, or on the internet, about politics.
To compound the situation, all some folks need to know is I consider myself conservative (though I have libertarian leanings) to label me a ignorant, stupid, intolerant, uncaring, insensitive, Neanderthal. (I'm sure I left something out there.)
An then if I bring up my faith in Jesus... I might as well have been tried and found guilty at Nuremberg according to 'them'.

Look, I believe the scripture, but in this country, our constitution guarantees individuals rights regardless of what they believe in, what color their skin is, where they are from, or who they sleep with. I will be the first to admit, some of their rights have not been realized at this time. I do not want to see anyone discriminated against.
As long as it doesn't interfere with my life or my childrens'; people should have the right to live the way they want without persecution.

Anyway, I was a bit down this evening and needed something to redirect my mind...

Music ALWAYS helped me through my young adult years.
It still helps me as an old 'fogie'.

Hearing this (again) showed me that someone else understands how I feel...
