Act American

I decided to make today a day of visitation, not a fun thing to day when the people I visited are not well; however, it does the heart good to know that you may have made someone else's day a little brighter or that you may have lifted their spirits a little. We have a neighbor who has pancreatic cancer and, since January, has been given 5 to 6 months. She is now in a hospital bed and Hospice comes by every other day I think. She has only her grandson living with her but her sister and friends from a distant hometown spend time with her. Please remember her in your prayers. I'm going now to see a neighbor friend who had knee replacement last week. How blessed you are if you have good health; it seems there is so much sickness in this world.

What do you think of the walk-out/walk-off yesterday? I'm hearing mixed ideas. Personally, I don't believe that is the way to solve a problem. I have no problems with the legal immigrants and I admire them for trying to better themselves. I don't dislike illegals and I believe that everyone should have a chance to better themselves and their families; but I think they should enter in a legal way, become citizens, learn our language (English), and become contributing community members, paying taxes and social security like the rest of us. I do not believe that illegal immigrants have a right to assemble legally and make demands. Could we do that in their countries? NO. If we don't do something soon about the situation, the problem may get so big that we will lose all of our identity and the principles on which this country was founded. Perhaps if the people born and raised in our country showed more respect for its flag, its traditions, then others would react in a more acceptable manner. We need more Billy Graham's in our nation today and I pray that God will send more like him with his charisma and persuasive manner. I suggest that we stand up for America and shout, "God Bless America".
