July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |

Congratulations on your virtual blogging adventure!](https://images.Writing.Com/imgs/writing.com/writers/badges/group-BCoF_2-1901868_14.gif) Hi From Apondia!I'm 79 so I guess I don't yet believe we are losing our moral hold on life. I think it seems that way to younger people. I have seen this kind of evil raise up against the World before. It is a pretty regular occurrence just not in every place at the same time. Now, it is especially a strain because of the uncertain political outlook within the USA, Russia, and Israel. With in the USA we maybe should be happy, that anyone and everyone is voicing their views and dissatisfaction. It means the freedom of speech is still in palace. The new violence is unfortunate. Even that has occurred at times when extremism was trying to take over the USA. Spain, France, and the United Kingdom also have had a bout with violent extremism in the last few years. And Russia attacking Ukraine is just wrong. Often it is the political scene that is raising the ire of many people.in the USA and abroad. I once read that Jewish people have music they can play to help peace take control of some types of unrest. If that is true it would be nice if it were playing the music everywhere on the earth. After all this Polly Anna writing I have to say I wonder why some of the world leaders don't think more of what kind of impact some of their decisions make on the general populations of the world. The people who count every day are the ones who get up feed the family breakfast make sure the children go to school and do homework. People who fill the garbage collection jobs and the car mechanics jobs, street sweepers, building janitors, farmers who plant, harvest and market the food crops, fireman, policemen, nurses, doctors, dentists. Life for a multitude in a country take many types of maintenance workers to keep a country running at it peak production ability. We are right to be concerned and to voice those concerns; it keeps people vigilant. Praying for peace does not hurt either. I wish every church on the earth would pray for peace on a specific day at a specific time Christian, Muslim, Jewish, anyone who believes there is only one God. . |
