Yes! Virginia, There is a Santa Claus. Yes! Virginia, There is a God.
I was feeling low on the Holidays because my husband had passed on many years ago, and the 24th of December would have been our 70th Wedding Anniversary. Also, on New Year’s night, our first-born son took his own life years ago.
Then Santa Claus left a very precious gift on my porch – a little log cabin made of cracker sticks with a tiny angel in the window, a tiny lady in an evening gown and a tiny Xmas tree all decorated up inside the house. Also, Santa brought me jars of homemade jelly and my son and grandson took me out to eat a grand meal.
My spirits were lifted up from the gift of their giving.
A great big thanks goes out to them, to Santa, and last but not least, to God, who never lets me down.

County Politics
County politics are different from State and Federal because quite often we personally know some or all of the candidates. I have heard so often, “I have known him/her all their life — they are really a good person. I don’t argue with that EXCEPT!!
Did that person choose to support the Democrat party for the good of the county residents — OR — did they choose that party because it had always been the ruling party and was their best chance to win the election? Is that self-interest? Did they even care what that party platform vowed to make into law? Legalization of drugs – tax-payer supported abortion – gay marriage – removal of all traces of God in our everyday lives?
Each candidate pays money to run on the ticket of his choice and swears allegiance to that party. Choosing which party you support is as easy as going to that County Chairman and filing an application.
Who do you support? The candidate who chose family values or the candidate who chose on the basis of self-interest. Remember the local Democrat party has openly accepted many violations and still support their party faithful.

Come and Get It
I would like to say to whomever you are that took my Star Shower Laser Light from my front yard, that you can come back and get the original box to store it in. I have put it out on the front lawn where you removed the light. I will not give you the location because you know it already.
Hope your conscience will let you enjoy it. If not, you could return it – you would be blessed.
