I couldn’t resist but to lift this in its entirety and share with you, gentle reader. A great start to the weekend from Del. Scott Lingamfelter. And to think… this is what Lingamfelter thinks about after a good night sleep, some light Bible reading, and a cup of coffee!
Up early this morning to take care of personal business before I head out for a long day of campaigning. There is some hope for cooler weather today as a front (we are told) is moving our way.
Shelley (my wife of 33 years and Mother to the three greatest kids on earth!) and I like to get up early in the mornings. Quiet. Time for some reflection, bible verses, and coffee. Often the conversation finds us being grateful for the luxuries of life that so many around the world do not have. And one of them is air conditioning, which I am sad to say is broken in the Lingamfelter home this morning! Yep, a bit humid in the old home place.
I called the repair guys and now like many others, I will take my place in line to await their response. They said they would get to us on Monday. I bet they are busy. In fact I met one family yesterday going door-to-door who had the same problem. Little did I know that when I got home, I would find myself in the same fix!
“Life’s little challenges” as a dear friend use to say to me. And in perspective, for us it is a little challenge. For the elderly and others, it can be quite bad, so I am not making light of this.
But here’s a thought. Despite the troubles and annoyances of life, we are very blessed in America. And sometimes it’s hard to focus on this when you look at how so many of our leaders seem bent on making things worse in America. I believe that we were founded by the providential hand of God and we still have an opportunity to get things back on track. But we won’t get there is we sit in the corner and pout about how bad things are. We have to be engaged and involved. No sideline patriots. My view anyway, even as I sit in a humid house this morning.
Go make it a great day!
