Will;
I see what you mean. I guess I would have been irate also, had I gone to a convention to find the candidate chosen by the people virtually shut out. I believe liberals can do that easier than conservatives; a good conscience wouldn't allow such tactics.
Bill;
I sure do get the drift of what you're saying..not all are the same...and just because someone was "raised" a certain way doesn't prove a thing. It must be a correct , spiritual upbringing (Proverbs 22:6)
I am doing quite well, despite a gall bladder removal a couple months ago. My wife Barbara, is having her health problems. Since I almost lost her on past Christmas day..respiratory arrest, followed by cardiac arrest (2 weeks intensive care)..now she is losing weight and can't seem to stop it. Assigned to take 4 tests to rule out cancer, she has come through 3 all proved negative. Prayers appreciated.
I'm involved in project of building a house for a family with 2 very physically handicapped little boys. It is a joint effort between the local American Legionpost (mine) and my son's Christian youth ministry, and our church, which donated land right next door. These boys my live 20 years yet..may die next week. Their chromosonal deficiency is so rare, they are the only 2 in the US and possibly in the world.
These two bright, cheerful boys never eat or drink, they do everything through the traches you see them wearing. Since their esophagus passages have been closed, they must be "suctioned" regularly (saliva etc can't go down). Their home air must be filtered and they sign to speak.
Below, se a pic with their Mom visiting the jobsite. Their dad is a hard working man, ironically pours basements (as shown) for a living. You can see him in a tool belt in the far corner of the basement, behind them.
