I woke up late or early and the meet the press show was running again. The topic on the table was religion and how it affects us in our life. I was reading my blogs and as usual on religious holidays we are asked how God works in our life. Now I hate that I sound like a broken record. Where is the faith? Job was tempted, scared and lost his family yet still blessed God for what he has not what he didn't. Those around him said he was foolish and should denounce his God. He answered back to all who wanted him to denouce his God that no matter what he must stand firm.
Now if Job can withstand his trial then I must do as well. We both are only men and our beliefe in God is the one thing that NO ONE can take from either of us. No I am not saying I am as strong as Job in my faith, only that my faith is all I control. Yes I am angry who wouldn't be? But at the end of the day I "MUST NOT FORGET" who my Lord is. TS

Yes this mornings news is about the battle for the DVD market. I thought since beta vs vcr was waged the leaders would just be resigned to making millions. "WRONG" Now they are experimenting with other ways to stimulute the mind. Now this is just a thought and not ramblings of a mad man but I remember an episode of "STAR TREK" and it delt with a GAME that one wore around the head. Probably not, but it delt with brain washing and making one so brain dead that to be conquered would be easy.
Yes it is early and probably not realistic but we as a country have become to visual and reading is not as entertaining as a good movie only while you are young READ. Become involved with the work created by an author. Robert Ludlum, Robin Cook, and my favorite Stephen King kept me awake many times or falling asleep with the book in my lap. I now choose to be entertained in other ways but I still remember how reading allowed me to dream. TS

You have to remind me these last few years of my advancing age. First it was your 50th birthday and how blessed you are to still have the vim and vigor to continue to bring us closer to the news. You have a quality that I find rare in women and that is a need for the truth to out weigh ones need for ignorance. The last man to have that ideal in my mind was Phil D. He searched for truth and the entertainment value be damned. I wish only one thing in the future and that is to return to the audiance and allow them what once was. TS

Yes the one constant in my life has been Katie Couric. No I am not a crazed fan angry that she has spurned me, I have enjoyed her take and personal opinions on the news that NBC has covered. Yes what first drew me to watch was her looks, not a dumb hot blonde, her attributes were more intelligent. As if God wanted us to pay attention, this woman was subtle yet never let a view not be heard. Her commitment to the truth should and will be her legacy. I know she is going to do well and may her and her family prosper. Please NBC do not replace her untill you are sure that the same standards will be upheld. TS
