President Trump: It’s time to “think big, and dream even bigger”

January 20, 2017

  By Will Hall WASHINGTON, (LBM)—Speaking before an enthusiastic inauguration crowd who endured a light rain, Jan. 20, newly sworn-in President Donald J. Trump shared his vision for how he will “make America great again.” Framing his plans for governing in terms of “a great national effort to rebuild our country and to restore its promise for all of our people,” Trump said it would begin by transferring power not from one administration to another or between political parties, but from Washington, D.C., “back to you, the American people.” Trump re-emphasized this theme throughout his remarks as he promised to be responsive to “the just and reasonable demands” of Americans for “great schools for their children, safe neighborhoods for their families, and good jobs for themselves.” Declaring a new day for the country, Trump promised “from this moment on, it’s going to be America first,” and that “every decision” will be made “to benefit American workers and American families.” “We will seek friendship and goodwill with the nations of the world—but we do so with the understanding that it is the right of all nations to put their own interests first,” he said, offering that the two rules for his administration … [Read more...]

The day Johnny tried to “Cash” it in!

January 17, 2017

By Ron F. Hale Raw emotion swept over me the first time I saw and heard Johnny Cash’s video rendition of “Hurt,” a song first recorded by Nine Inch Nails in 1994. Seeing the now frail Cash singing the ghostly opening lyrics made me feel just a hint of the heartache that made the “Man in Black.” I hurt myself today To see if I still feel I focus on the pain The only thing that’s real   The needle tears a hole The old familiar sting Try to kill it all away But I remember everything   The eerie medley and montage of a life-time of photos and film clips of Johnny along with his unmistakable voice helped rank the video one of the “The 30 All-Time Best Music Videos” by Time. There was a hopeless day in 1967 that Johnny literally crawled into a deep dark cave to die.  The accumulated pain and shame of a decade of doing drugs, popping pills, ruined relationships, while always riding the rapids of whiskey river brought him to the mouth of Nickajack Cave on the Tennessee River north of Chattanooga. All his “uppers” had turned to “downers,” but Johnny wasn’t blaming anyone but himself. He knew that he had been his own worst enemy. The “Man in Black” would die in total darkness that … [Read more...]

Finding hope amid the pain

After a painful experience, hope often feels fragile. I have learned to allow joy to begin in small moments. It might be a bird singing outside a window, a kind word from a stranger or a sunset painted across the sky. I’ve had to give myself permission to smile when laughter comes, even if it feels unfamiliar. … Read More
