    I just called Ben Sasse's office to inquire as he why he was one of the five Senators to vote to move forward on impeachment? His number is 202-224-4224. I asked a simple question and could not get a simple answer. What logic did Ben Sasse use to make his vote to impeach someone who is not a president. He claims to be a constitutionalist, he claims to be conservative, he claims to be smart but yet his office could not and would not answer that question. I don't think that is too much to ask to understand the rationale for my senators vote. Sounds like to me that he continues to be a political snake, the insinuation was that he would not vote for the impeachment but was doing this to learn more. It's an obvious an overtly political gesture to try to cover both ends. Very disappointed that he's my senator.

      1/25/2021 Masking the Science
      We have purposely avoided directly confronting the issue of masks because it is such an emotional and political issue. Like waving a red flag in front of a bull, the topic elicits strong emotions which overwhelms reason. We wear a mask in the hospital and don a N95 mask, gown and gloves when we see a patient known to

            I don’t know. I’ve lost a friend recently because she believes my beliefs are racist when in fact they’re not.

            Sorry Libby! Social media can definitely appear to be a one-sided conversation. It doesn't always allow others to fully understand our views. :(

            The Liberal-Left Has Gone Fully Illiberal
            "Human rights are negotiable under this new ideology. I am not certain what this political theory should be called – perhaps left-wing authoritarianism – but it bears no resemblance to liberalism whatsoever. To the extent we have not gone quite as far as China in violating human rights in the...

              What’s Up with the Great Reset?
              "At some point, it’s not unreasonable to observe that this is no longer about public health. It’s about a new political vision, one hatched by a private few in order to rule over the many. It is unlikely to be shared by most people, thus setting up what is likely to be an epic battle in 2021." ~...

                    This is a great explanation of how we can know God is good even when the events of the world are not. Thoughts?
