Grandma and Grandpa (Mimi and Bap-Bap) Seaver took a little trip down to visit us for the Thanksgiving holiday. Cooper had a ball with them, and Dad had a nice time seeing his folks. They’re headed back out tomorrow, but will be back for more fun in March! Cooper’s already counting down the days.

‘Tis the Season

Wal-Mart worker dies in rush; two killed at toy store - CNN.com.

When my fellow citizens are trampled by a mob seeking material goods at discounted prices, my blood boils, and I’m ashamed of our country.

How self-centered have we become that we would be willing to put our own needs so far above those of others, that we would let them die in the pursuit of our own pursuits?

Politicians talk about the erosion of morality in our country, but they refer to the superficial “wedge” issues while forgoing true issues of morality, including respect for the dignity and life of your fellow humans. Perhaps America would listen if the blowhards in Washington and throughout the country would stop talking about denying rights to gay couples as an affront to the American family, and start talking about the responsibility we all have to take care of one another.

I’m not a politician, nor am I anyone of great significance; however, I’d like to challenge the American people. A toy or any material good is temporary and only worth its price; family, friends and life are without price, and are timeless. Remember that the next time you rush to the store to buy your loved one a gift. I’d bet they’d rather you come back with your integrity and life, than a gift that will eventually serve no purpose.
