In my 85 years in this wonderful USA I have never felt this country so divided. What in this world is wrong with us? 2020 has been a horrible year for many of us for many reasons, not the least of which the Coronavirus played a huge part. But I have also seen first hand the political division between Democrats and Republicans like I have never seen before. Friends, family members, neighbors etc. torn apart by differences of political opinions.  The latest horror story, for me anyway, is the Asian American racism. For heaven’s sake. We are all in this together.  Now I do know what started this. People “honoring” the crazy idea that Asian Americans are all responsible for our world wide Pandemic.  And therefore deserve to be attacked. There is no concrete evidence that the “virus” was leaked out of the Wuhan, China laboratory. There is more evidence that it jumped from an animal (probably bats) to another animal to humans. For anyone to think that this won’t happen again is just foolish thinking. It could happen anywhere. It certainly has happened before. So who is next? Will we in this country be “attacked” all over the world if the next “pandemic” seems to start here? What has happened to “love your neighbor”? What has happened to “forgiveness”? What has happened to “Democracy and Christianity”? Or if not Christianity then “love of God” or “love of fellow man”? It just makes me wonder what in this world is going to happen to all of us if we continue in this “divisive” vein?

I am certainly not perfect and realize I am probably coming off as “preaching.” But let’s be real here. As I said earlier, we need to work together to make this a better world. For ourselves and future generations.

Thanks for listening. And God Bless.
