“Are you not entertained.”
That’s one of my favorite quotes from the movie “Gladiator.”
The first presidential debate could have taken place at the Roman Colosseum.
Chris Wallace the moderator was like a Roman Emperor giving a thumbs up or thumbs down, but ultimately having no power to stop the carnage.
President Donald J. Trump and challenger Joe Biden were the gladiators.
And we the people couldn’t look away.
And yes, I was entertained.

The other week, I received an award at a virtual awards ceremony.
The award was mailed. I watched the South Carolina Press Association ceremony online.
Most years, I get to go to Greenville, Columbia or Charleston and enjoy a fancy chicken meal, while dining with colleagues. We sit through a lengthy awards presentation, offering loud applause when our newspaper’s name comes up.

Nellie Ann Faulkner Whitmore, 83, passed away while she was sleeping, discovered by the morning shift at NHC Laurens on Sept. 21. For eight years she struggled with dementia and debilitating arthritis that led to immobility.
She was and is my Mama.
They say that most people get their name in the paper twice, when they are born and when they die. But Mama got her name in the paper a few more times, because her son was a journalist.

He controls the course of world events; he removes kings and sets up other kings. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the scholars. – Daniel 2:21
I hate it when politicians use the Bible to divide.
I hate it when Christian leaders use politics to divide.
Jesus Christ sacrificed himself on the cross and defeated death by rising from the grave, so we ALL can become ONE in Him.

Live and let live.
That’s what my father taught me.
Tolerate others opinions, so they will tolerate your own.
But the world is increasingly more divided with each day.
I myself just want to be left alone. I believe most people want to be left alone.
Yet, some want to control others. They want to stir the pot. They are always negative — narcissists that get their kicks from aggravating others.

Now, United States Veterans have joined protestors in a siege in the embattled City of Portland, Oregon. Protestors won’t budge and occupying federal agents won’t leave until they know the courthouse is secure.
To that end, federal agents go out of the courthouse and through a fence in the late evening to have the protestors disperse. Protesting has gone on more than 2 months.

Fear, he is a liar
He will take your breath
Stop you in your steps
Fear he is a liar
He will rob your rest
Steal your happiness
Cast your fear in the fire
'Cause fear he is a liar
- Zach Williams
During the pandemic, I see people gripped by fear. Pastor said Sunday: Fear is focusing on the problem and faith is focusing on God.
Satan’s most powerful weapon is fear.
