Let's Try, Really Try

I may be the smallest of small fry yet I've got an idea that if we try really try, give it all that we've got out absolute 100% better-than-best shot to develop leaders, true leaders, diamonds and jewels in our churches, our youth groups, and schools that the cream might rise to the top; O, that it would and our country's leaders inspire us, as well they should Americans want integrity and bold vision on Capitol Hill not catcalls or petty quarrels from voices selfish and shrill _________________________________________________ Note: The word 'churches' in line six above includes mosques, temples, synagogues, and any other type of religious or secular-humanist institution

O Hear Hear!! Gershon. Lets get some honest men and women in there instead of the self serving crooks that have been in there calling all the shots and scaring honest people into looking the other way. Good Stuff. God Bless, JB

Change to, "catcalls nor petty" and you have created a verse worthy of hanging over the entrance doors! Aloha! Rico

Yes, Richard. That's why I was a teacher for 30 years. LOL. Happy Friday, Gershon
