As August nears and summer enjoys its seasonal last hurrah\u2019s, I find myself with a few things I still feel need to either ask or address.\u00a0 Yes, I have lots of questions regarding current events…<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Why does Congress recess for the entire month of August?<\/p>\n
Do they still get paid?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Why is the President still campaigning about Obamacare?<\/p>\n
Does he realize the bill remains unpopular?<\/p>\n
Is he telling us the entire truth?<\/p>\n
Are the people even listening to him anymore?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Did William & Kate consider any other names?<\/p>\n
Is there any chance Kate always dreamed of a baby named \u201cboy George\u201d?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Now that Detroit has gone bankrupt, who will be next?<\/p>\n
Will there be a next?<\/p>\n
Who else has borrowed too much money for too long and made far too many promises of future payment?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
What should we learn from the Trayvon Martin situation?<\/p>\n
Was a guilty man set free?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Does Al Sharpton realize that racism comes from all sides?<\/p>\n
Why won\u2019t all African-Americans refuse to say the word \u201cnigger\u201d?<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t they realize it\u2019s derogatory?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Will Hillary run?<\/p>\n
Should she?<\/p>\n
What\u2019s she thinking now?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
How will my Reds do in the push to the playoffs?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Why did the Patriots not address the character of Aaron Hernandez sooner?<\/p>\n
Did they ever cover up for him?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When does college football start?<\/p>\n
Will Heisman winner Johnny Manziel say and do all the right things?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
How \u2018bout the pros?<\/p>\n
How will my fantasy team do?<\/p>\n
Will I dominate my sons? (ever so gently, of course…)<\/i><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
What have we learned from this summer?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As always, there is much to learn.\u00a0 There are many questions to ask, and there is great need for each of us to listen in order to discern correctly; that means listening to persons other than self \u2014 other than the knowingly likeminded.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Over the course of the next 3 weeks, the Intramuralist will offer creative opportunity to listen.\u00a0 Beginning Sunday, Aug. 4 we will host our 5th annual Guest Writer Series, a treat for all involved.\u00a0 You will have opportunity to listen and dialogue with persons expressing viewpoints that may or may not be the same as mine.\u00a0 I will share with you later this week the means and motive for the series.\u00a0 We are not all clones, friends; we don\u2019t all think, act, or believe exactly alike.\u00a0 Several of you, in fact, probably have different questions.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Keep asking.\u00a0 Look for more on our exciting series soon… (fire up).<\/i><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Respectfully,<\/p>\n
