"Daily Motivations"

So many times, I have found myself speaking before thinking. Many years ago, I kidded my late Father-In-Law, Rev. Raymond Wilkinson, telling him he just didn't talk much, except while in the Pulpit. Rev. Wilkinson told me "It is best to keep your mouth shut, and let people think you are dumb, than to open your mouth, and leave no doubt". In the Pulpit and throughout life, Raymond Wilkinson preached a special love of God; a love everyone is offered in life. Our life's choice is up to us. I now often wish that I had openly listened more! Rev. Raymond Wilkinson was a great "Godly" minister.

Folks, The political leaders on Capitol Hill needs to vote and allow more drilling of oil, in America, and just for America. America needs the oil and gasoline to preserve "existing jobs" for our families, and "new jobs" for our entire American economy. To me, ANWR is the answer. The pipe line is still in place, currently operating at some 30%.

Teaching (y)our children the legal, ethical, and moral values by the Judeo-Christian values are compelling responsibilities! Teach (y)our children to learn these values by being in your own house of worship with them; then allow the children to see and hear your own teaching and learning while living after and before we return to the next Service. You and I, then, are real models for (y)our children. God Bless America.

Have a "great" day!

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. - Martin Luther King, Jr.

Let The Scanners Count The Votes

Some years ago, and after serving several years on the local County Board of Elections, one fact balanced the challenge. When using paper ballots and counting the ballot with a “scanner”, it is imperative to let the scanner only, work as designed to do, and count the votes.

When individuals try to count paper ballots which are designed to be counted for a scanner, personal choice begin to enter into the decision making conclusion(s), trying to justify their choice to get into the brain of the voter(s).

For example, when a proposed voter makes an X over an area which is to be covered if counted, the person(s) counting the vote for or against the candidate making the decision is making a determination as to whether the proposed voter wanted to vote for an individual, or did the voter want to vote against the candidate. Allow the scanners to do the job they are designed to do. Scanners are not political partisan. The scanner machines don’t care whether the vote is for a Democrat, a Republican, or an Independent. Persons making the determination for or against a candidate usually care, as to who gets the vote.
Each and every voter has a right to cast their ballot correctly, and/or ask for the assistance of their choice, and to make sure their voting ballot is properly marked and counted. Individuals should not be trying to make a determination of any ballots votes, when the ballot is improperly marked.
