As the sacred day of national thanking God for our blessings approaches, lets put aside any possible negative feelings we might have, and say a prayer for all the families of the victims of the covid vaccine. Their only sin was to trust and not to question. 😥

As the sacred day of national thanking God for our blessings approaches, lets put aside any possible negative feelings we might have, and say a prayer for all the families of the victims of the covid vaccine. Their only sin was to trust and not to question. 😥
We all grew up as children at a time where this was the norm, and our country and its agencies were worthy of our trust.
These poor souls, may they RIP in Gods kingdom, just didn't get the newsflash that times have changed in our country despite a facade of sameness.
Let us also thank the Almighty that through His enlightenment and grace, our eyes were opened.
The times we live in will need God's enlightenment and guidance in each and everyone of our lives, going forward. 🙏
Thanking God for people like Jeff and others (like RFK Jr and countless less famous persons) in our country who have been enlightened and are fighting through the platforms of life God has granted them, to help others see. They are our human angels 😇.
I grew up at a time when pretty much every child lived in a two-parent family, and most mothers were full-time stay at home homemakers. (Mine cooked, cleaned and took in sewing so we could make ends meet.) I lived in the same, modest lower middle class 3-bed, 1 bathroom brick home, with my 4 siblings for my entire life, until I left for college. As a child, I had never heard of anyone who had gotten a divorce. (I was born in 1962.)
I used to tell people "I didn't know we were poor." But now I think I'm gonna change that to "I didn't know we were RICH beyond belief."
Born 1950. Grew up in that Norman Rockwell type of family. Mom was the homemaker. Both sets of grandparents were country folks, one grandfather was a faithful minister. As always, the world was a problematic place. But children were protected and were allowed to be children and society was civil. I think it depends a lot on the family culture and they come in all flavors. The problem was parents naively trusted the state school system, including mine. By the time I got to college, Marxism was already being taught at the big universities. Today, the only culture children grow up with is the woke state schools (unless you explicitly elect to send your child to a Christian private school) and the culture the child spends his time on in the media platforms (the TV and the phone). Every generation going back to 1970 has been lost to this nihilistic culture. Logically, I have to think that our society cannot be redeemed without those generations learning the hard lessons that only come from great suffering. And that may only come after a long period of complete totalitarianism. It's not a pretty picture. For reference, consult the Minor Prophets.
I grew up with half my family living in what was then a poorer country of the EU. We all knew, they all knew, that our food supply and medical care was superior *then* because we had oversight. That was my reality as a baby boomer.

Strongly disagree. I think what you're seeing in your rear view mirror is a Norman Rockwell painting.

Thank you, Mom. Thank you, Dad. I miss you.
