And Now....

Despite the wonderful inspiration of CBW and others, I have never been able to blog consistantly. I often feel my life is not exciting or interesting enough to share, epecially on a daily basis. But I will try to catch folks up more consistently. Some thoughts: I feel that hatred is growing stronger in our nation. Growing up, it seemed we wer making good progress to lessen the hate around us. If a child brought agun to our school, no one was scared-it must be show and tell day. If we got in a fight, it was because we were mad with each other-but we would never have pulled a knife or a gun on someone else. We took hunting safety classes in school, and even learned how to clean our guns and carry them safely. NOBODY ever shot anyone else. Never even seriously thought of it. My class was either the first or second integrated class in Mathews history. Kids got in fights over the years, but I NEVER saw any fights between someone just because one was white and the other black. Don't get me wrong, racism was still there. But people did get along pretty well. Some interesting news, but don't get your hopes up: Anthem yesterday sent me forms saying that they would pay most of the cost for a kidney transplant IF I am candidate. And sorry to say, that's a BIG IF. Because of the location of my cancer, they may not want to put a kidney in my abdomen area. Just have to see what the transplant people at Wake Forest say. Remember to always put your trust in God, and rarely trust politicans. Even the best ones seem to often fall short of what they promise. God never does.
