(Uncle, I should say) Michael
Thank you for the inspirational post. It’s awesome to see churches still standing out for the truth.
God bless.

Hi Michael, I have to agree 100%. There is no discussion any more on any subject in the news. The News reporters talk at us and those they interview do the very thing you said. They just talk over one another thinking they are going to somehow reason with others by being so rude and off putting. I know that on many things I agree with what may be said by these pundits on the news, but there is no discourse. No talking, reasoning nor debate. just people deciding what we need to think and yelling at us for not agreeing. Of course we need to be informed and not hide our heads in the sand. But can’t we be civil any more? I would love to be able to have a normal conversation at work about the news, but it usually becomes an “us against them” demand and no conversation, and it usually ends up with people yelling to shut up opposition to their ideas. It can be very disheartening. I would love to see courtesy and real news come back. A “fair and balanced” view and a search for truth would be great. Well said Michael.

Hi Michael: I am delighted to read this blog. Last Friday evening my wife and I attended a pot luck dinner held by our Sunday School Class. There was a man there that had a conduct much like you describe here. He asserted that “money” and money alone is the reason for the Dallas Cowboys future. He said money excelled over character and integrity. I quietly pointed out to him that Tom Landry had character; Jerry Jones has money. He was over bearing and loud in his response to me. I kept quiet as he was drawing attention to himself. His desire was to talk over me. Sometimes it is better to be quiet and thought a fool than to speak up and remove all doubt.
