A Time to Heal- a Time to Be One

https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/inspiration/video-be-one?lang=eng

Now is a time for healing- for uniting

A time to remember our shared heritage

and to cherish and protect our differences

Now is a time to put aside political squabbles

and remember the democratic ideals

upon which our nation is founded

Now is the time to still our cries of injustice

and stand behind our new President,

so that we can move forward with hope

Now is the time to pledge our best efforts

into making "The American Experiment"

a beacon of liberty in a dark world

Now is the time to prayerfully, and humbly,

remember, and live, so that we can truly be

one nation united under God 

A Senior's Perspective on the Pandemic

Being 70, I think I finally qualify as a "Senior". Few of us older people are saying much about this pandemic, but I feel a need to put my perspective "out there". We all know what a difficult time we live in. Most seniors understand that younger people need to work to support their families and that we all need goods and essential services to continue to be provided. 

We seniors have seen other countries shut down to get the covid 19 virus into control, while our country refuses such measures, prefering to champion  "freedom" instead. We have seen young people exerting their "freedom" as they revel in their "no mask" parties. We see people protesting against their government leaders restricting their lives in any way, while criticizing these same leaders for "not taking action" during this pandemic. Now, in sadness, we see Americans bemoaning the "meanness" and "hard heartedness" of their government leaders in discouraging holiday gatherings.
