So Punxsutawney Phil, the famous groundhog in Pennsylvania, saw his shadow on Saturday. This supposedly indicates six more weeks of winter weather. I'm not sure why a rodent is determining our weather outlook, but I have a tough time believing in winter weather when I live in Florida. Make me wear a sweater and we'll talk. Too bad Punxsutawney Phil can't predict the outcome of the November election. Sure would save us all a lot of time and aggravation, not to mention nine more months of rallies and debates. Yes, our job is finished for the time being, our primary duties completed last week. But it's a "Super" week. Yesterday was Super Bowl Sunday and tomorrow is Super Tuesday. ...more

At least back then we could pick delegates at our precinct level, then go to a county, state and national convention without waiting for Iowa and New Hampshire telling us who we could vote for. ...more

Just a reminder, now is the time to be listening to presidential forums and debates, so we can be as informed as possible. Through prayer, listening and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we can be prepared to know how to vote when Election Day comes. Do remember to pray that God will send us godly candidates who will seek His will as they guide this great country. Let us all remember that each of us have a responsibility for our nation. The Bible tells us to watch as well as pray. As I watched a Republican presidential forum on channel three, I was encouraged by several of their platforms. They were discussing issues of importance which are necessary to get our country going in the direction God would be pleased with. Some actually had plans for getting things done. ...more
