My father's lessons!

I was raised in a military family. My father was an officer in the air force and taught pilots to fly. He taught his children a lot about our country and our government. He taught us to honor the office of the President of the United States no matter who is in office. And I will honor this President who I didn't vote for. I'll pray much for him. He scares me.
*Side note..... Did you know that in Illinois on Tuesday the Lottery numbers were 666? ahhhhhh scary. Anyway that's kinda funny.
I felt that the country redeemed itself somewhat with the 3 states passing the marriage between one man and one woman propositions. That says something for the quiet, good masses of conservative people in this country. I have been very vocal on this issue always. I have a Gay brother who lives in D.C. whom I love and adore. I told him many years ago that yes they are living in sin but that doesn't change my love for him at all. He is a devout Liberal and I the devout conservative. He thinks we should have our own talk show together because we text each other all the time about political and other isssues. He's smart and funny and we can have a great conversation and learn and still love one another. This is still the greatest Country in the world.
