The road.
On the road again.
A travelin’ man.
Hit the bricks.
(Well, I guess that last one doesn’t apply as well.)
Ms. Clazzy and I sat down and had a conversation about Tour 2015. We discussed the thousands of new friends we made, the condition of people, and the work that still needs to be done.
Here’s a reality you may have never thought of before: there is a hole right in the center of America.
Truthfully, most people are not conservative. The vast majority are not liberal. So as the media continues to advertise these two points of view, a deep valley of humanity is stuck between the two mountains of conflict.
Sometimes I wonder why we criticize Donald Trump–because all Mr. Trump did was locate that hole and fill it. You may not like what he filled it with, but your criticism is of little value unless you acknowledge there is a hole that exists, and bring some better filler.
I guess that’s what Ms. Clazzy and I do.
We have found that hole. We choose to fill it with good cheer.
The people who find themselves caught between the conflicting opinions are not overly religious, overly moral, overly selfish, or overly anything, for that matter. They are people who have found a way of life which seems to work for them, and they would just like a few ideas and encouraging words to make things better.
They don’t want to be bombarded by opinions which turn them into zealots; they would just like to believe that the little possibility just beyond their present grasp could actually be achieved instead of just being discussed.
It’s the same group of people Jesus found himself ministering to 2000 years ago.
They were not wise and they were not prudent.
They were babes in the woods who were looking for a way to be happy, and hopefully in the process, grant others the same opportunity.
This conversation led us to a decision. Are we going to do it again in 2016?
The question that is posed most often in my direction is, “Don’t you get tired of all the traveling?”
I suppose if you want to, you could get tired of almost anything, including eating hot fudge sundaes.
Or you can count the cost and realize what’s important, then convince yourself to make that enjoyable.
There is a hole in America.
The good news is, as for Ms. Clazzy and myself, we plan on going out again to try to fill it with something good.
The better news is that in the process of doing that, we receive three amazing benefits. We learn that:
- Our family is not everybody.
- Our town is not the whole world.
- We can survive on our talent and wits.
