I was attending a community executive meeting several days ago. We were discussing two separate neighbors who were obviously breaking subdivision HOA deed restrictions. At the end of the meeting I piped up and said my nearby neighbor’s son is graduating high school and we are giving him a card with a gift enclosed. They […]
My heart turns to nonviolence today. Also a commitment not to listen to another talk or argument on guns, for or not for. Throughout our human history guns have been used for good and evil. It is how we use these instruments of potential power. Furthermore, as you and I have come to know, power […]
