America, Land Of The Free

I was just sitting here staring at the TV screen/computer monitor and thinking?, knowing I can't do two things at once?? Anyway many of our members here no doubt know of the shooting at the movie theater and the shooting in Wisconsin at the Temple?? Then there is the debate about gun control in this country in every state! No one knows what or when anything will be decided in the meantime living free, doing what you want to do, going any place you desire to go is just a couple hours away by air or a drive by car and of course there are other modes of getting to any point in America!!

 

Speaking of Free we are free to worship whom and where we please as our religions or senses guide us and Free to go, go and go where ever I hearts desire and money will take us! Many people from many other parts of the world come here for supposedly a better life than what they may be experiencing where they are presently!! America is the home of the brave and every country has an Armed Force dedicated to protecting them in times of war or disturbing incidents against that country!

 

I have watched much of the London Olympic events in competition against so many other countries and nations then to see the news where some of the athletes will request to remain in the country brought back to mind when the same thing happened in America!!! When a country is Free people want to go there and will do just about anything to get to those countries to be Free and live a better life! That's been the case since the beginning of modern day times and probably in the olden world and biblical times as well!!

 

All the people of that Temple were law abiding citizens serving their religion as they had been doing since 1978 and before for some and had obtain their citizenship's of America and schooled here speaking English as one of their languages!! Along comes a man who thinks and feels people like him is the only Race of people that should occupy America. I would think a little bit of common sense would tell you that is not possible in a world so diversified and modernized!!

 

We had two men here in jail awaiting their fates for murder of fellow troops or conspiring to kill many soldiers here at the largest military base in the world!! One heard his fate this morning, Two life sentences and some more time behind bars, the other one is still waiting to hear his sentence which will probably be life or death for his killing of fellow troops and wounding so many more!

 

I have been working with the Wounded Warriors but just last week it got to overwhelming for me to continue in that capacity so I'm thinking about becoming a writer of some kind unknown right now!! Many of you members here know I'm a wounded warrior myself just didn't loose any body parts in combat in Vietnam!! It's so hard to try comforting these men and women who defended America and our Allies when they call out to their wives/husbands/parents and kids to comfort them and ask, "Why do we disagree so often that war is the way to settle the matter"??

 

I could not give an answer and with that like the Bible states there will be wars and rumors of war for times to come!! Looking at the war in Syria now is sickening the way people are being slaughtered in the streets because of some Regime or power!! On the other hand what can we do as people?? So here I sit trying to collect myself and thoughts but I just had to get this off my chest so to speak! I hope I didn't offend anyone, if so it's not intentional and I'm not Dr. Phil!!

 

I'm still coming up on the rough side of the mountain and got a ways to go but I'm older now and I can handle just so much!! I'm so happy I got the wife I have now or I could not climb any higher and I've thought about that since the stroke!! God is my keeper and knows best!!!

Fred. from time to time we stop and access our lives and i think that is what you are doing now. I go in and out of childrens work, in and out of working with old people. The more involved you get the sooner you burn ou., BUT the more involved you get the more good you do and that is what people really need, someone to walk right alongside of them.

 

Whatever you do I am sure you will do good.

 

Sue.
