A good day to die, or run

Nice temps today. It made for a really pleasant run. The good weather was comforting on a day like this. I read some disturbing news online and it really hit me hard. I feel that my values, principals, and code of honor, don't belong in the current America. I keep telling myself, it's a phase the country is going through, but we seem to be going deeper into that rabbit hole. People want to redefine what a family is, a marriage is, and what a Christian is. I still believe that your word means something, that a hand shake is a bond, that we confront opposition with a face to face conversation. That we look for ways to help each other, and take responsibility of our actions and the actions of our family. These don't have to be old fashion values, they can be resurrected. Sometimes we have to get knocked down before we can learn to get back up and maybe we are in that knock down time. But hope is always strong, in you, in me, it's the one thing that can never be stripped away.

Sorry for the melancholy. I promise to be more peepy tomorrow. Peace be with you
