Welcome to the porch…hunker down and wear a heavy coat. Really not porch weather so join me inside. It is if the world has changed in mid rotation. The last two days have been about massive changes…in fact so many it it is hard to take it all in. I once wrote “that the difference between the difference was relative to the unlikeness there of”. I tried later to explain what those words meant… a thought out of nowhere…going nowhere. But looking at the last two days I see a point to that difference thing. The election is over, we have a new President…that’s one difference but as noted before that other difference is still the same…relatively speaking things are still a mess. Now there is always the scary possibility that the country ain’t messed up…it’s the people that are messed up. I almost did the smart thing… think about that for a moment. But somebody with a brain suggested that we might just ponder on that awhile, after all that’s what we do here on the porch. SOooo, why not do just that? Ponder this… Our new President felt it necessary to officially declare that the United States of America recognizes only TWO Genders! There are some of us who feel that might be a bit redundant. The God that created all things…that includes us…established the TWO gender thing a long time ago. Be that as it may it warms my heart to see and hear that maybe we might   have an awakening to to what has been called a tradition…We are One Nation Under God, if so, so be it. The wonderful thing about this God thing is that we are a family…God’s family who through the Cross and Jesus Christ are Heirs to the Kingdom of God. You might not agree with me…but Ponder This…  There is no better place to be.
