I must say… the political things are not the most important things to think on — though they are the things filling the space these days. I considered a friend’s comment (regarding something completely unrelated) the other night — something she had shared with a friend of hers some time ago when the friend’s thoughts were occupied by unrighteous things. She said, you are giving way too much mind space to that thing. I considered this this morning as I realized I was allowing political mess to occupy too much space in my mind.

A little weekend reading… Okay, a lot of weekend reading… especially if you connect the dots. I think I hear it… the faint call is becoming louder: … – – – … is becoming …- – -… I started thinking along this line recently as I have been thinking more and more: dot, dot, dot… connect the dots. American people: dot, dot, dot… connect the dots! The I considered Morse Code and the sound of dots and dashes or dits and dah’s. So, in these days, if people are of a mind to hear, they’ll hear the dits…and the connecting…
