Simply my Thoughts By: Dean Butler
It is sad that the non-drug, non-criminal elements in our country can’t have some of the same values, ethics, loyalty, and determination the drug dealers, addicts, and criminal elements do.

I saw a little boy today standing in the checkout line with his mom. He must have been at least 3 years old and as handsome as could be. I smiled and waved at him as he looked my way. He quickly waved back only with his middle finger protruding from a fist. I could […]
Assume: to think that something is true or probably true without knowing that it is true. I fixed dinner for you but you didn’t show up. When you said, you would be coming over, I assumed you meant today. That man is an outstanding member of our church, I feel I can really trust him. […]
