A new year and I don’t know where to start. I finished my blog for this week…will post on WordPress this Saturday. There is a lot going on, that’s for sure. Lot of stuff out there to to ponder. I got to say I thought that after the election was over we would settle down a bit and take care of business. Ponder this…The soon to be President of the United States has said…I emphasize… said. We need to take the Panama Canal  back, We should think about Canada becoming a state and maybe even buying Greenland! Now as a T Man… I must ask why? We can’t take care of what we have, our backyard so to speak is a mess. I sorta think we ought to do some yard work first before we acquire more ground. No levity intended here. A large part of our back yard is on fire… some say due to poor decisions of those who lead. So I ponder if it is not wise to do a little weeding first. For the past three years there has been a massive wagon train…if you will, of folks heading toward our back yard. I compare it to the old wagon trains that headed west…to the promise land, many years ago. That prompts me to ponder this. All you folks who curse this nation, spit on and burn our flag and I have to get this in…disrespect our God, seek to marginalize people for their faith, color or what not… Why this steady stream of people risking everything they have…literally wearing or carrying it on their backs want to come here. Have they got it so good they just want a little misery to even things out?  Might be to our advantage if you folks took a little trip. 

A little cold here on the porch…so I will wrap this up. It has been suggested that we spend some time being grateful for what we have. Good thoughts lead to good things happening. Maybe we ought to plant a few flowers among the weeds and choke them out. Ponder That!
