Everybody wants to be happy.
Donald Trump plays that to the hilt.
He tells them the Democrats
will make them unhappy
in all the ways he tells them
the Democrats are for everything
Real People are against:
Immigrants,
Sex-changing,
Homosexuals,
High grocery prices
and raising taxes.

He doesn't ask them how happy they were
during his Presidency.
He tells them how unhappy they will be
under Kamala Harris.

I say, "What does happy know?"
Happy only knows what it wants
and doesn't want.

What does wanting know?

Does wanting know what it takes?
Does wanting have what it takes?
To do what it takes?
To tend the infrastructure
that takes care of the needs
of the Republic?
That guards, defends, allows, enables
Liberty and Justice for ALL???

Highways!
Lead-free water!
A living wage!
An end to hunger
and homelessness!
Medical insurance!
The freedom to be in charge
of our own personal healthcare!
An environment that honors the climate!
A government that works to serve
things like these worldwide!

Jesus put getting what we want
and being happy
in service to doing what needs to be done
and doing unto others
as we would have them do unto us
even if it means picking up our own cross
in living as he did all day every day
with liberty and justice for all.

Something Trump knows nothing about!

I'm retired, and still finding my way--but now, I don't have to pretend that I know what I'm doing. I retired after 40.5 years as a minister in the Presbyterian Church USA, serving churches in Louisiana, Mississippi and North Carolina. I graduated from Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary, in Austin, Texas, and Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, Louisiana. My wife, Judy, and I have three daughters, five granddaughters, one great granddaughter, and a great grandson on the way, within about ten minutes from where we live--and are enjoying our retirement as much as we have ever enjoyed anything.
