Mother's Day

Mother is 94. That encompasses the Spanish Civil War (no that was not her household growing up), World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, two Gulf Wars, the 9/11 incident, the Murrah building disaster, Charles Manson, Albert de Salvo, numerous presidents both good and bad. It's not hard to see that in this world of negativism, in this world that seems always to be at war for the better part of 94 years and in fact probably for the better part of the existence of man, it;s quite easy to get caught up in it. God gives us the strength and the power to rise above those clouds and see His light, but it is our choice to use that in order to lift ourselves out of the negativism into the positive state of His love and grace and glory. May God bless us all in this effort.
