        I look forward to everything you post. I especially love this precious letter. The art of letter writing has given way to emails and texts. Handwritten notes convey feelings. This one truly does. I can feel it as I read it.

        Nobody will remember anything from the digital age because nobody writes letters anymore. Nothing will be preserved. It's sad

        He is a big writer. My mother worked on some projects with him when he was a Congressman in Houston. She always said he was the only Republican she would ever vote for. I wrote to him when she died and he sent me a very nice hand writen note on WH notecards.

        My kids are in public school and it is still taught. I hear this a lot. But it must depend what state you are in. But NJ and PA still teach it.

        Intentional too. Stop fawning over an image whose bearer just died. Do you mourn the passing of every cold selfish heart, or just those who were famous?

        What would Jesus do? Or: “It’s not time to discuss gun control, let people grieve.” Or: Just have some class & not kick another #humanBeing while they are down.
