WHEN in the course of human Events, it becomes necessary….
Posting will be lighter here and at the membership site

I’m presently dealing with some rapid onset and developing minor health issues that require constant care and attention and multiple visits to various overloaded GPs and specialists. We all know what sort of management this entails. As a result, posting here will be either light or formulaic.
Gerard, I’ll be praying for the full restoration of your health, that your mental and emotional well-being is uplifted while you’re dealing with these problems, and that you’ll receive the best care your caregivers’ can provide. God Bless you, my friend.

I was at the store yesterday and the pharmacy line was extra long. Just what you didn’t need for the holidays!
Reading and writing at American Digest is now as much a part of my morning as coffee. Take care of business and then come back to us full of health. Doctor’s orders.

Take your time, do it right, and demand the same of others. Best.
We pray that it is indeed, minor.
One more your way.

“…man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.” (Job 5:7) We all wish it were not so.
Very sorry to hear. Will be wishing you well. The websites are secondary. Keep us posted.
Gerard, Never having met you it may sound odd but I feel like I have known you my whole life. May you be healed quickly and may you be blessed with many more “American Digest” years.

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light

Will be thinking of you, may all be as the Almighty intends for you.
Take care
Well hell.
Let me know how to help.
Prayin’ for you, Gerard…
Praying, both for you and the people treating you.
We pray that it is indeed, minor.
One more your way.

Unless it’s Geriatric Sudden Onset Tourette’s Syndrome. This I’d pay to see more of.
