There is good news and bad news about an unpleasant conversation that I had with a close family  member (CFM) recently. Names have been hidden to protect the young whippersnapper.
CFM: Hi, I know you will be unhappy but I got really mad at a teacher that was being mean to me and I yelled at her!
Me: What???
CFM: Yes, I think I might have said a cuss word.
Me: You're kidding?!! I will discuss this with your father, but pretty sure you will be grounded until your 16th birthday! And that's for starters!
CFM: April Fools!!!
As many April Fools jokes as I have pulled on friends and family over the years, I cannot believe that I did not see that coming. At least once a week, my dear husband approaches me with the Epoch Times in his hand and asks, "Can this really be happening?" Whether it be about our open borders where a projected 1.1 million illegals will cross our southern border this year alone, or the 40 year high inflation rates that have been lodged across the nation or the fact that three Republican Senators have joined with Democrats to approve a Supreme Court nominee that repeatedly gives child predators minimal repercussions, I so want to tell him: "Honey, April Fools! This is all a sick joke!" But alas, these degradations of our country are real and there are more happening every week.
I read last week of a skydiver, Jordan Hatmaker, 35 years old, whose parachute became entangled in her legs while skydiving followed by a failure of her reserve parachute. She fell 13,500 feet and smashed into the ground at 125 mph and somehow survived. She remained conscious throughout the whole ordeal and ended up  with a broken back, leg and ankle. It took her 3 months to be able to walk again but she is working hard to recover full strength and making great progress.
I relay this story because I feel that our country is in free fall. Just like Jordan H. we are hurtling toward the ground at a very scary pace and I find myself wondering if our country will be able to survive as we experience the treachery around us. Our Constitution that has no nobly grounded us for these 246 years, seems to be routinely disregarded and denigrated. I attended the Reagan Day Dinner last week and was very happy to see the many hard working Republicans all over Texas doing their level best to turn this sinking ship around. For example, Susan Fountain, the Executive Director of DCRP has helped bring the number of precinct chairs in Dallas County from 150 to 300! That is quite a feat! There are many new grass roots groups that have formed full of enthusiastic volunteers, and our own Preston West is committed to engaging on all cylinders to make this a very successful electio9n season for Republicans. We are beginning a new feature in this month's newsletter entitled "Called to Action" where we will list opportunities for our members to engage and help candidates where needed. (Members, please let us know when you hear of opportunities for service so that we can spread the word.) I love this beautiful piece I read recently,
We have all warmed ourselves by fires we did not light, and drunk from wells we did not dig.
These words ring true as we contemplate the blessings of our Constitution. America has been used by good people to spread liberty and by wicked people to spread tyranny. God help us magnify the former, and bring the latter to an ending acceptable in His sight.
Hopefully, if we can wrest the power from greedy folk that seek to do our country harm (unfortunately some in our own party), I think that we can share the same fate as Ms. Hatmaker, injured but restoring to full strength! Let's go and to God be the Glory!
