THE LOVE OF A WOMAN

Few experiences in this life can measure up to the word "Wonderful", or "Beautiful", or "Fulfilling"'.  But the love of a good woman is one that can and does.  That is not to say that life is a bed of roses.  No, it is not intended to be Utopia.  That comes after this life.  But the truth is that none of us could live a worthwhile and meaningful life if there were no bumps in the road now and then.

I had the love of a woman such as I describe for 64years.  She left this world as she had come into it, confident and unafraid.  In those 64 years this help-mate never wavered from her devotion to God and family.  When ever I had the urge to try something new (however foolish it may be) she led the charge.  When a move was proposed, she started packing.  She followed me half way around the world while pregnant and with a toddler in hand and never a whimper.  The ups and downs of this life never changed her spirit and demeanor.  The love of this beautiful woman produced beautiful children, both inside and out.  Her raising of our children was "Old School", firm but fair.  The results are evident in every one of them.  She left a trail of friends thousands of miles long and wrote wonderful words of encouragement to each one from time to time.  Her favorite passage of scripture was 1Thessalonians 5:11---Encourage One Another!
 And that, my friend, is the love of a woman......Medicineman!

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF!

At the end of World War II there were thousands of communists in our government.  After all during the war Russia was our ally and involved in our OSS and State Department among other agencies.  Though many were weeded out in the ensuing years, by the time the Korean conflict started we still.had many in key places.
Today our Government is filled with a different enemy, Muslims.  The closest advisers to Obama are Muslim.  They are in the CIA as well as the State Dept.  They attend our most sensitive meetings and are privy to all kinds of restricted material.
Is the rest of Official Washington silent on this subject because of "PC", Political Correctness and we have come to point where we must not offend anyone, even our enemies?.... Medicineman!
