GIVE US SOME GOOD NEWS; Political, hopefully? In your community? Something you saw in the news that cheered you up? Something wonderful in your family? At your job?
SOMETHING GOOD…..I think we’d all like to hear something GOOD for a change.
If I only get 3 comments, I’m coming to your house and you’ll be sorry 🙂 Come ON, you can think of SOMETHING! Today, no news is NOT good news!

The chief danger that confronts the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost,
Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration,
politics without God, heaven without hell.
William Booth
“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.”
― William Saroyan
The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of the blessings. The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery. -- Winston Churchill
Ignorance is not an opinion, liberals
I believe in Christianity as I believe the sun has risen; not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. C. S. Lewis
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
2 Chronicles 7:14
THERE WILL BE NO THREATS OF ANY KIND AT THIS BLOG, TO POLITICIANS OR OTHER COMMENTERS. thank you.

Best news I can share is that we’re now at the peak of the Atlantic hurrycane season and haven’t had a storm on the Gulf Coast yet. In fact, we haven’t had a ‘cane here in P’cola since Ivan, 10 years ago (knock wood). Did have that massive flood last year, tho, that nearly wiped me out.
Also, none of our children or grandchildren are deceased, in jail, or addicted to narcotics. We owe no one money, own the house clear, and have retirement incomes with cash reserves in the bank. Wife & I still able to walk, work, drive, and take care of ourselves.
Ain’t ‘zactly news, but it’s purty damned good from this ol’ country boy’s perspective.

Lt. Cmdr. Wesley Modder Exonerated!
The Pink Mafia was handed a decisive defeat in our ongoing cultural wars. Chaplain has won his battle against the saboteurs in the Navy who purposely tried to scuttle his career for the heinous charge of delivering Biblical counseling to sailors.
This is truly a cause to celebrate!

The best way to celebrate, imho, is to contribute to the Liberty Institute who fought and won this case for him. Send them a thank you note with some money attached so they can continue their great work.

Ray, my something good is that i had friends who’d detour all the way here so we could all get together 🙂 And a friend who’d drive all the way here, hours and hours, to be with me six years ago.
Vrag; How OLD are you? 🙂
Mustang; Funny, I often talk about the ‘friend I’ve never met but is such a good friend’….the friend whose flowers were the first I rec’d when Mr. Z passed.

Well, nothing spectacular here, but like Bocopro, able to handle the bills and emergencies, immediate family and pets are healthy and happy. More and more it is obvious that if you have your health, you have a lot more than you generally think.
I enjoy my work and have the uncanny ability to completely ignore news and opinion from ‘them’. Friends who know who they are are a big plus, and lastly, Mustang hasn’t told me kiss off yet.
@SF, Thanks for that bit of news. Nice to hear about a win.

I was heart warming to read. It’s been bad news all about, from dentists, to the heat & humidity, to a summer cold, to Mr. B’s back, to termites. (I think they call that life?) But …. we’ve had 2 lovely walks in high surf at the end of the day this week with a yummy coconut drink. And I’m particularly enjoying a project I’m working on now for a client. Hope to repeat surf tonight if I get back in time.
Alex, loved the lines, too.
