I see the storm coming and I know His hand is in it. But if there's a place and a part for me, I believe, I am ready"Tim Akerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11066407900768490059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876580312116273978.post-46758831784202189462007-01-13T19:07:00.000-05:002007-01-13T19:07:00.000-05:00Thank you very much for your comment Tim. It is people like you, fighting for what you believe in that continues to provide hope to so many people.Curtis Kearnshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07322784741877298947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876580312116273978.post-51305967185908626302007-01-13T19:06:00.000-05:002007-01-13T19:06:00.000-05:00Excellent post and direction of what a blog is meant to be. Politics nowadays is more of a "shut up and get in line" exercise instead of what it should be - that frank, blunt discussion of ideas and values that will benefit the community, country and the environment around us. <br /><br />Fight the power and raise some hell buddy!Tim Akerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11066407900768490059noreply@blogger.com
