I have received a few e-mails attempting to give me (or my devotional program) money. Much as most of us could use extra cash in this day and age, my ministry through these blogs is free. I receive no money for the work that I do here.
Neither am I able to help the individuals who write and ask for financial assistance. I am a retiree who writes because that is who and what I am and have been since high school. I live on a shoestring budget.
I hope that my three blogs are of benefit to others. Much as I get discouraged sometimes, I believe that enough people read them to make my efforts worthwhile.
My blogs are as follows:
louhough.BlogSpot.com This is a political blog. Many of my readers might disagree with my positions, yet I pray that they find a new way of interpreting and understanding their own political beliefs. Personally, I tend toward being a liberal Democrat. Yet, surprisingly, I occasionally agree with Republicans, such as in matters concerning the right to bear arms. I strongly believe that we should improve our public schools and see that they are controlled at the national level. That way we can be more sure that all students are presented similar materials and have equal opportunities to learn. I believe that we should continue to support education at the highest level we can afford. These children are the future for ourselves as well as later generations.
lousissues.BlogSpot.com This is a place where I vent my hurts, angers, observations and knowledge to anyone who feels they can learn and benefit from the work. If I offend others with my interpretations of their behaviors, I consider it poetic justice for them offending us. As President Truman once said, "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen." If you don't want others criticizing you, don't make waves in their lives. It is time we demand that others treat us with the same dignity and respect that they expect and demand of us.
lousdevotes.BlogSpot.com These devotionals are often based on life events. They are meant to give others my spin on the world as interpreted by Bible passages and/or things I have learned from living seventy-five years.
I believe that each of us can learn from each other. I believe strongly in God. I've had experiences that some would consider ridiculous, yet I know they are real because I have lived them. I have survived much.
Many of my beliefs are based on the Golden Rule and on my strong feeling that neither government nor religious preferences should ever interfere with individual rights. Government and organized religions are meant to help masses of people be better organized and more considerate of each other. They are supposed to help us survive, not interfere with our quality of life. I seldom hear a liberal or conservative in either group who does not use his position to bully others into his/her own way of thinking.
I hope each individual who reads my work finds help, entertainment or becomes introduced to new perspectives. My point of view is presented from the Main Street perspective. That is how I started my political blog.
