Yeah Once More

So yeah, it happened again.
Friday after work I see a friend who invites me to the United Church free Supper, happens every third Friday o the month. Surprised her and myself by showing up-I sat with her son whilst she chatted at another table.
When I went through the line I thanked the lady serving the food, and it was a nice meal. I looked for and found a donation basket which was marked, "Donations are not expected, but are appreciated."
That's fine-something in the basket and was about to leave when I remembered that time when Christ cleansed 10 lepers, and only one, a Samaritan, came back and thanked him for the cleansing.
I went over and thanked the lady serving again, which was right.
So...what do you think Pastor's sermon text was today?
Luke 17:11-17.
Peace happens-the only true Peace-Peace with God.
Our reaction to that Peace?
Thankfulness.

VOTE With Your Heart AND Your Head

My friend and I (pictured above) encourage everyone to VOTE on Election Day!
Feel ffffrrreeeee!!!! to assume that every political advert that you've seen/heard has been full of subjective lies-candidates puff up their OWN accomplishments and denigrate their opponents. It's enough to make cry.
You needn't slough through the cesspool to get to the voting booth-take the high road and ignore the political Ish.
But vote, please. 
One vote each.
If you partook of 'early voting' and have already achieved your citi-Zen...don't show up at the polling station to attempt the double dip.
That's just criminally wrong. It would make you a bad person.
But everyone allowed to VOTE should. Too many populations of peoples on this planet have never had the opportunity to have a say in their governance-you may recall that that was THE major issue which brought about our own Declaration of Independence.
So VOTE! and be the better citizen. My friend and I thank you for reading.
