“I’d like to make a toast!” said my friend at a happy family celebration. Without missing a beat, her 3-year-old nephew burst out, “Don’t we need to get the toaster first?”

I came across an old Irish rhyme that goes: “Boxty on the griddle, boxty in the pan, if you can’t make boxty, you’ll never get a man!” And thought, What? I don’t need another man, but this “boxty” thing intrigues me.

This has been a busy couple of weeks, for the government. China balloons shot down, train derailment with toxins we can’t even know about, major earthquakes in our enemy’s back yard killing thousands, the president going to a war zone, and all this during investigations that will make your head spin. Yes, there are investigations going on of our FBI (not by but of), classified document everywhere, Biden’s son’s laptop, Biden’s brother, manipulation of social media to sway elections just to name a few. Is it time to clean house, spring clean the corruption we only see in third world countries? And, who would do the cleaning up? Can we know who to trust? Is it possible to know the truth, the facts and only the facts? Will we ever really know who won the election or if it was fairly ran without media bias? There are so many questions and too many circle back diversions our head continues to spin faster than the words out of their mouths. There is a divide in our nation. It has always been and always will be division. There are conservatives and liberals. There are democrats and republicans. There are those who want more (government) control over our lives and those who prefer government not meddle in our life. There are those who want to even control the climate, over which the earth and sun already have a relationship that would be impossible to disrupt or change. Control, deception, power, and fear is not the most appealing attribute of any leader but it looks as if that is what we have. We can’t prove it and most don’t care if we do. Our nation needs a wake up call, not a woke call. We need clarity and decisiveness. We need hope and a vision. We need a revival–oh yeah, it’s beginning in a little town in Kentucky...

It’s full of dichotomous beauty. Like the Ozark Mountains and the Mississippi Delta, both are beautiful for different reasons. With talent ranging from Al Green to Johnny Cash to Justin Moore, Arkansas’s musicality is as wide ranging and diverse as its people.

The mantra of the progressive liberal democratic socialist party, ’Finish the job.’ The President kept saying this over and over. What he wants is to finish turning the country into a socialist welfare state where the workers are dependent on others (like the government) to provide all their needs. They were so close to making laws that would secure the switch to big government control they could taste it. Thus, ’finish the job.’
