    Our Gun Control Hero – David Hogg

    Rebuffed by ultra right wing “Christian White Nationalists”, David continues to represent the unheard voices of those killed by gun fire in Parkland, Buffalo and El Paso.

    Bullies on National Media like Fox “no” News and bullies within our United States Congress like Andy Biggs (R-Arizona), a member of the Mormon church, mock and demean David Hogg’s outburst.

    There are a Lot of Kind People Out There

    A Reminder by Ross Reck

    A few weeks ago, I fell on my knee and ruptured the quadriceps tendon in my right leg. As a result, I spent two weeks in a hospital while the tendon was reattached. From the time I got there until the time I was discharged I was shown nothing but the utmost kindness from the hospital’s many healthcare professionals who took care of me—it was unbelievable! I also receive numerous phone calls, texts visits and cards from friends who wanted to make sure I was doing well. Before I came home, my wife Marcia was getting ready to mow the lawn when a neighbor came to her and said, “You have other things to think about, I’ll mow your lawn for you!” After returning home, the phone calls, texts, and visits started happening immediately. Meals began showing up as well—one person even baked a blueberry cake/pie for me!! So, if you’re one of those people who believes there are far more unkind people in the world than kind, I have to differ with you. My knee injury experience has shown me that I am surrounded by kind people who have made me so grateful for each of their actions.
