This man’s actual story wasn’t being told in that dramatic film. It’s only that in both what happened was the exact miracle. A small personal one. But the real one turned out lucky for the world too. We should try to keep that gift going.
When I was a teen by parents were in a fraternal organization with many that also had the numbers left on their arms. At the time I was afraid to ask so as not to hurt them but how I wish I had taken the time to get to know them better.
He testified during the first Trump impeachment hearings, warning the Democrats that they hadn't made a case and that while impeachable charges might be found somewhere, they had not been found yet. He was reviled for that opinion and of course he'd been proven correct.
Reminds me of watching a video on white-water canoeing, how the technique of navigating consisted of repeatedly choosing the least tumultuous path from one area of relative calm to the next one.
De nada; share the wealth, praise the Lord and pass the ammunition ... 🙂
But thanks also for Liking both my comment and the Note -- something that Substack should be doing automatically. It's a decent platform but still very rough around the edges -- rather buggy in fact.
One thing in particular that chaps my hide is that they removed the Collapse function -- long comment threads are virtually unreadable without it. I've already complained several times -- no joy yet, but, should you be talking to Support there, you might raise the issue yourself -- squeaky wheel and all that. 🙂
I find the Notes feed baffling. No idea how my Home feed is populated. Plenty of people I don't subscribe to are on it. I don't mind reading them but wonder how they got there.
And yes--trying to follow threads is crazy-making. And I don't really understand how they've engineered the Notes feed anyway. My replies never show up in my Notes feed on my profile page.
Getting the book to read!
Really glad this post has led you to do that.

There's an awful lot we figure out too late.
Great perspective.. thanks for mentioning Jonathan Turley. Brilliant and measured, I will track down his blog.
He's a very fair, reasonable, sensible guy.

Interesting -- the calm at the eye of the storm.

Really appreciate you restacking my post.

I suppose we should be glad it works at all.

Though it seems we all pay good money to subscribe to various Substacks so I think we have a reasonable right to some improvements.
