What's that smell?

Spring has sprung.

I see dogwoods bloom, especially the little one so tenderly cared for in our yard.

I see the flowers begin to bloom.

I see the grass begin to come out of hibernation and turn to green.

The birds are singing a happy song.

I await the short visit of the finches as they pass through and can hardly stand the anticipation of the arrival of my friend Bocifus and the other hummingbirds.

But wait, whats that awful smell? The wind is from the east again and brings the stench from the Potomac and the rot that swelters there as it squanders the future of our children and grandchildren. Oh how I wish they could see how their need for self gratification is ruining any form of responsibility and ambition in those who have been, like lost sheep, led to believe and trust in them.

We need a spring of education as to where we came from and who we are, that will wash away the indoctrination to humanism that has invaded our education system.

We need a spring of integrity and return to self responsibility for our actions, to enjoy the fruits of our success and endure the cost of our own failures.

We need an old fashioned spring revival that will renew our faith in God, our trust in our fellow Americans, and a love for the truth our nation was founded on, that freedom is a gift from GOD

endowed on all men as a sacred responsibility, to be cherished, protected, fought for, and yes even to die for. It doesn't come from the minds of great thinkers, nor scientists, nor politicians.

They have there purpose, though many have been deluded as to who we are.

Yes Spring reminds me of who we are. As the world renews itself without the help of man and his meager understanding, there is a Creator. He is still in charge and will purge His creation of all that is hazardous to His predetermined plan. We must assure we stand in His grace and not in His way.
