Little if any thing going on here on the Porch. I have been at this keyboard several times in the last two days and the truth is I find nothing worth the time to Ponder. There is no civility in conversation and the media in general has lost all objectiveness. People are being paid to be disruptive in both action and simple discourse. Leaders and people of influence have forgotten how to speak the kings English and because they have no real knowledge of what they are confronting or a solution, they curse to express themselves. The church in general in under constant attack and the family unit as we used to know it is being minimized daily and our education system no longer teaches…it has become a tool of indoctrination. Our values are are now agenda driven and lack reason or kindness. Also to be considered is the ever changing culture driven new norms that are more frequent in today’s society. So…where does all that take me and you…? My sister Pam is going to two engagement parties for our younger sisters grandchildren. Sometimes right under our noses we can find a reason to be happy and thankful for. If we look hard enough there will always be something to celebrate. 

Now that is as they used say…a recitation of the doom, gloom and despair, in the world out there. It overtook the mood on the porch but  consider this. Stay at home in heart and mind … PONDER the power and joy of Family, keep it close to your mind and heart.
