Intriguing thought about going back to how things were pre-Covid. I don't know actually. I work in academic health care and I unfortunately had to be treated for cancer this past 12 months. I have certainly had my eyes opened.
I decided to subscribe today. I really enjoy each of your essays and they are so "on point"! Please keep doing what you are doing. I agree with 99% of your essays and find them revealing/enlightening and informative. I'm so glad I "found you"
Thank you the much needed reminder of hope. When times grow ever darker, such as now, we must continue to be light and salt to a world gone very dark and rotten. God be with us all out there, and may His grace ever be sufficient for all our needs.

It is a bit jarring to look at the events of the past with new understanding and a different perspective-Thank you for sharing your family's incredible journey- it certainly lends itself to the viewing of this picture through a very comprehensive and clear lens. We are all trying to sort through deception and truth the best we can- I think God's children must do this together -we all have something to add to help with this awakening. Thank you for your time and effort and using your craft to inform others of the truth.
If you read the events on what took place during the six day war on June 6th, the Israelis were anticipating losing 2/3 of their planes. The events that lined up for them that morning were truly miraculous and definitive proof of divine intervention.
"For myself, the past two and a half years have led me to question everything our government tells us about our history and current events....I’ve heard many who once were proud to be Americans say they don’t feel that way anymore."
Karen, thanks for giving voice to what many of us can not explain.
I've been talking with my older brother, him, like our father and grandfather, also a veteran, tho' his war was Vietnam, and mine much later ones. His disgust and despair (which I'm beginning to share) is disheartening. Even returning from that war to an unfriendly, ungrateful and hostile public did not alter his love of country and commitment to service. Yet, now, after these (many) years of lies and manipulations, he is seriously questioning his devotion.
I can not tell him he is wrong; I'm fighting the same battle. As are you and many others, to some degree, apparently. Now my son and his wife, both serving, I can only advise that I question our proud family tradition, and that if I was asked to do it over again, now, I would not.

I could not.
I very much enjoyed this piece. The sentiments are appallingly applicable to our times.
Your writing mesmerizes me. Beautiful with much clarity and with truth tucked into unexpected places. Thank you for sharing your life experiences.
