Thought for the Week

“The media only writes about the sinners and the scandals. But that’s normal, because a tree that falls makes more noise than a forest that grows.” ~Pope Francis

Healthy trees never stop growing.

    The media also excels at propagating and promoting the “crisis-crisis”—-an infinite parade of stories designed to play to our fears.

    So true Mitch, watching the media gives a fruitless result, they will lie when they don’t distort.

    As my pastor used to say. It only takes a day to do the demolition on a remodeling project but the rebuilding takes months! Blessings my friend. Thanks for the quote

    Good truth, Mitch. Quiet people often think more than they speak and observe more than others know. (I read that somewhere and copied it down.) No doubt such habits contribute to their growth!
