“What’s on your mind today?” I get asked that quite frequently and often by myself. In the past few years, I’ve taken to Facebook to express my thoughts and ideas about various topics: politics, economics, politics, sports, local, state, and national government, politics, elections, and politics. I thought (after a host of suggestions from others to do so) it was time to formalize this and start a Blog. So that’s what you find here and will see going forward: www.TruthNewsNet.org.
Of course, I have a busy life, and keeping up with a daily blog is not easy. And it takes a major commitment for time away from my “other” busy life. But it is worth it to me. Here’s why I think it is worth it: because I think YOU are worth it. Now don’t go thinking I’m one who feels I know everything. In fact each day I learn something new that tells me my knowledge is exactly the opposite of “know it all.” All I have that I am confident of is life experiences. And some of mine are probably different than some of yours. By sharing my thoughts and opinions about things I deem important in my life, from time to time I trust you will find those things relevant to your life.
Life today is so complicated, rushed, and varied that it is impossible for any of us to expect to experience even a fraction of the life circumstances there are out there. That fact does not diminish the importance and relevance of those not experienced circumstances but actually cries for a place like this to go get someone else’s opinion about some of those missed life experiences if for no other reason than to simply discover they are there and to respectfully understand them.
Many of you know that we jumped into Part 2 of this ideology: an online, streaming daily show/podcast. It airs live M-F, 9:00 to 11:00 AM, Central time. It’s titled “TNN Live!” We’re in our fourth season of this daily show. Thanks to God, approximately 27 podcast posting sites automatically pick up the show daily and add it to their podcast menu.
Yep: I got busier! But “TNN Live!” gave me a new objective: to put in audio the things that I have in my heart each day that are relevant to others and their lives.
Here is my commitment to you: I will never write and post a blog or share a podcast simply because “I haven’t posted one in a while and people will get upset if I don’t!” Those who know me know that I pretty much always have something to say about something timely, topical, and relevant to a lot of folks. So you’ll hear my perspective about a lot of things. You may agree or you may disagree. That’s fine. I will never diminish your expressed opinion about anything we discuss here. I hope you will do the same for me.
When we disagree about anything, — and we will — please know this: just because I think something is right or true, doesn’t make it right or true. And just because I think something is wrong or untrue doesn’t make it wrong or untrue. The same holds true for you. When we disagree about anything, let’s discuss our differing perspectives and try to convince each other to convert to our side. But when that does not happen, let’s agree that we’ll respect each other and simply “agree to disagree.” I can do that and hope you can too.
