Shattered

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

This week's Freshly Made Sketches spoke to me after yesterday's news.


I've never made political statements on my blog before, but yesterday's news about the passing
of the outrageous bill has forced me to speak out.

I keep asking myself what I can do to keep the values that I treasure?

I can vote and I did.  But that didn't seem to do any good.

I will continue to surround myself with people who care about all of our fellowmen.

And I will do more to feed the hungry...no matter what their nationality, and treat all
with dignity and respect.

Is that enough?

Probably not, but it's a first step.





Frustrated!

Hello Bonnie.
I don't know what happened that people became obsessed with nationalism, and it's happening all over the world. Nationalism always leads to wars, and now this is being promoted. What happened to us, people, that we allow others to manipulate us like this??? I also try to avoid political statements, but I wholeheartedly agree with you. We are all equal and every person deserves respect. This is the Law of God and this is all we should follow. Everything else should be pulled out like weeds from our lives. Blessings to the good people.

I think you know how I feel about the situation we find ourselves in and just cannot believe it's happening, Bonnie.
I applaud you for your honesty and love how you put your views to paper today. What a wonderful way to use that Sketch - thanks, my friend! x

Well said, Bonnie. It's a very sad birthday for America and it has been ... I don't want to get started, so I'll just say I agree and speaking up is the only way to make our voices heard. Your card is perfect for today and the sketch. United in frustration, Dolly

Your card is sheer perfection for that sketch, Bonnie. May you have a great 4th

Love the card AND your statement! It is a very scary time for our country. So distressing that these elected officials voted for a big ugly bill that steals from the poor and benefits the wealthy. How does one even sleep at night knowing this & voting for it?

Love your very patriotic card, Bonnie.
