ANOTHER VIEW: War. Violence. Greed. All are enemies of civilized life

By Ashley Herndon |  With all that is going on today across this country, it makes me wonder what do people do to handle the pain?  One of my mentors shared in a training class a few decades ago, “There is no such thing as stress, only the inability of some to handle outside pressure.”  That took a little thought and practice to achieve.

FOCUS: Honesty and integrity await resurrection; fight on!

By Ashley Herndon |  Never forgive evil, lying, violence, and cruelty, even less the fanatics using those tools pretending “the means are worth the end.”  

These people are poisoned and without study, there is a chance we may never see a positive end to our current crisis.  Yes Virginia, losing our democracy is in crisis.
