BALANCE

 This week I had an episode of balance which is a very important part of my life. Fortunately, I was standing and leading against something very stable. Falling is very dangerous for me, for I am over 6 ft tall, and I am 78 years old. 

Unfortunately, if I fall to the ground, the first thing that is necessary for me is to call for the fire department. Because I am also heavy I can't just get up from a prone position. Gone are the days where I could push myself up from the ground and they weren't that many days ago. It's amazing how fast one can deteriorate, and although I am improving I have a long way to go. 

Fortunately, I am in a subsidized home, actually an apartment that is part of a complex that is made up of four apartments put together into a single unit. All of the apartments have no steps and you can either use a wheelchair or a rollator to keep balance. 

Also fortunately, I have at this late. In my life had plenty of challenging study ahead for God has enlightened me on what is happening now in history or as we say, current events. In the last century, which brought women into the voting fold, our politics have centered around them and although the direction has of course had flaws and mistakes, basically what has happened is that we have established that women get to choose their destiny. They have because of poverty been locked into relationships with men and it appears because of conflicting desires those relationships have had about a 50-50 chance of permanence. This of course has caused great mental distress in both sexes and lots of blame and bitterness, plus confusion and abandonment of children. 

As the world's wealth has built up expectations have also risen, and in the developed world, as seen especially in United States, it is now possible to a degree for women who are unhappy to separate and care for with the assistance of both willing men and the government to not be totally impoverished. But now at least in this country there is a changing of the guard. Politics have centered around lawyers, but now for a while it will be centered around warriors. 

Speaking of balance, it has been pretty obvious or any observer of history or biblical history or mental health history the two sides are needed. For the last 10 to 20 years the Democrats saw the possibility of ruling without the advice of the Republicans and literally tried to take over the world. Since I believe in God who is the ruler but also allows us freedom to choose our direction even if it's stupid, whenever one perspective decides to take over, over time God draws them up short and gives them a spanking and when you spank a civilization or system lots of collateral damage, I E tragedies happen. 

Charlie Kirk believed that free speech and the discussion of ideas was absolutely necessary, and conservatives and liberals had to be grown up enough to discuss these ideas openly and not damage other people's property personal safety or reputation. That, my friends, is balance.
