It has been a year and six months since I first started this blog. I now have seven people who are not ashamed to say that they follow me (the seventh is my best friend who I quilted into following) and three more who comment regularly. I have loved sharing with you who read all my opinions and ideas. I especially love the give and take we have in the comments section. Thus said, for reasons I don't care to discuss I will no longer have my wife edit my blog. When the idea of writing a blog first hit me (between the eyes, yes it did hurt) my wife told me that with my lousy punctuation and inept spelling I would not garner respect, I may not get respect even with a well edited blog, was my comeback. I find writing difficult, it does not come second nature to me although it has been good for my own personal growth and my typing has improved.
I write this to ask you dear reader if I should continue writing my blog? It is with some trepidation that I continue. The written language is not one of my strengths.
I am not above fishing for complements, so tell me what it is you like about my blog if anything.
If you like the commentary on this blog than I recommend Atomic Pop and The Water Cooler, both kindred spirits of mine and astute commentators.
Where politics and common sense meet over Diet Dr. Pepper and where reason, rationality and religion have been seen sharing a pizza.
I sought for the greatness and genius of America in her commodious harbors and her ample rivers, and it was not there; in her fertile fields and boundless prairies, and it was not there; in her rich mines and her vast world commerce, and it was not there. Not until I went to the churches of America and heard her pulpits aflame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.”
