We have a Board of Directors in our community. They can be very similar to the Congress of the USA. God help us!

All Board of Directors please sit and hear my plea. You make decisions about people you don't know or see. You all have high hopes that your ideas will be heard. But how about the community you pledge to serve? How about the common folks in the neighborhood? Do you really care, are they dumb or just misunderstood? People talk to you but they seem to be wasting their time. When they voice their opinion you act like it’s a crime. We are all "Bored" with Directors who see things one way. Please DO NOT be like Congress who has surely gone astray. They love power, make plans but don’t listen anyway. So here are some simple rules for you to learn today. Ask… Talk…. Listen… Pray… Ask again… Listen often... Pray some more… Then decide on what is best for our community. That’s what we the people ask; we ask no more. God wants His people to listen to His still voice. Pray and listen…then you will make the right choice We live in a great country. For the people, by the people and of the people! So let’s all work to keep America free and strong! God help us to do what’s right and right what’s wrong! Amen! Matthew 5:43 Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy: ⁴⁴but I say unto you, love your enemies, and pray for them that persecute you; e have heard that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy: ⁴⁴but I say unto you, love your enemies, and pray for them that persecute you.

Pray and pray some more� I suggest when they get through praying, they take a deep breath and start over. Thank you, my friend.
