Cordele, Georgia

"Because you're not what I would have you be, I blind myself to who, in truth, you are."

There won't be any new posts until Tuesday, October 7, because I'm on my way to Cordele, GA, for some golf and fellowship.  I'm planning to drive over on secondary roads, primarily on Georgia Highway 30.  I've never taken the "back way" through south Georgia, so I'm looking forward to seeing some new things as I motor through the countryside.  There may even be a few photo-ops.  We'll see.

I ran across a new weblog the other night that some of you might like to visit.  It's a site called "Front Line Voices," and is dedicated to posting correspondence from our soldiers stationed in Iraq.  There are already some heart-warming letters posted and some even have addresses so that you may write the sender if you wish.

And just a few minutes ago, I was reading some of the posts by Robert Prather on his weblog, "Insults Unpunished."  One of his latest, "More on Our Pathological Politics," is about the hatred in politics today and is worth a read.  He also wrote an earlier post entitled, "Great Take on Modern Politics," on the same topic which I would also commend to you.  Since I've had some thoughts and made some comments about this, I thought it worth referring to you.

Have a good weekend everyone. Hopefully, those new irons I bought will come into their own after I tee off in Cordele.  I can dream, can't I?
