Good morning Isaac from Fargo ND, we are praying for you my friend we stand beside in this battle! Your friend Keith

Hi Issac-
Stay focused and positive. Lots of good energy is going your way.Take the best of Eastern and Western medicine- it’s all out there for you.

Good Morning Issac.
I pray for you and I too have a problem that sometimes puts me down for the count. When that happens I am encouraged to do what I wouldn’t if I am on point.
Ask for the help you need from the people who love you, and seek the power of God as you understand him.
Walk into the Light…your shadows are behind you. Walk away and your shadows remain in front of you.
Keep a positive attitude and do ass much as you can to stay busy, this may help to relieve the places your mind takes you.

Good morning Isaac!! Happy Friday!
Perfect timing on this one for me!! Ironic actually!!Yesterday I literally said I can be a better version of me!! And so I made a list of positive ways I would like to change my thoughts and ways I want to improve myself to be a better person. And by better I just mean happier, more productive and not focus so much on what others are doing(or not doing). Just keep doing what I am capable of doing and be content with that. Focus on myself, what I want to accomplish and try not to feel so overwhelmed…One foot in front of the other! 🙂 I can do it!
Seize the day,
Michele

Hey Isaac…You GOT THIS! Keeping you in my prayers.

hello Isaac, May god protect you and heal you….

Hello Isaac, we have you in our thoughts. Stay strong my friend!

Dear Isaac:

Best wishes from Virginia. Stay Strong.

Wishing you well Isaac! Stay strong!

Hey Isaac, A friend of mine went through this, you can do it, hang tuff.

I certainly think so; My boss is my husband! All kidding aside, I do watch the “Respect-o-meter” when I hear others and including myself interact with him. We are fortunate that our staff cares about our company. Many have come up with some great ideas that we have implemented. Also, Wayne is a good listener.

So very true Larry! My favorite recent saying on change and peoples resistance is “the only one that actually enjoys change is a wet baby”
The other one reflects what most people’s philosophy is about change “Oh yeah, I love change. You go first!”

Yes, but our we healthier, happier more fulfilled? Do we have the wisdom to know the changes that will enhance our lives? Or living in a mythology that the newest technological device will do it for us?

I appreciate your perspective, always balanced, thoughtful and challenging.

Thank you for saying this, I think it all the time.

Absolutely right on target!

Larry Trevor and I read your post every morning. You are an inspiration to us all. I especially liked your post today, it certainly reminds everyone that America and Canada are diverse nations, made up iof many ethnic groups, we are so fortunate. If you set your mind to it, you can do or be anything!

When our Founding Fathers immigrated here they established this nation of law and moral law. It is often called the “great experiment” as there has never been a nation like ours. 52 of the 55 Founding Fathers agreed that Christian principles will be our foundation and those who immigrated here would assimilate to those Godly principles as best for a society to operate. Gov’t had very little to do with meddling in peoples lives. Immigrants who come here now are assimilating to a confused country and consequently do not know how they fit in or if they are welcome. Without immigration we would not have a country like ours… without moral law we will not have a country. We need secure borders and order… lets start there.

This only partly true. Given our current political situation I don’t know if you were being unclear, pollyannaish or purposely deceptive. There is a lot of each going on these days. I don’t know of anyone, including our current crop of politicians, that is against all forms of immigration. However, there are a multitude of reasons to stand against illegal imigration. There are wonderful people from around the world who want to come here to become Americans, learn English, contribute, support the constitution, and better their families. Bring them on. Once vetted, we all want them here. The problem is there are also terrible people that desire to come here. Most immigrants are awesome people, but have you really looked into the number of violent crimes committed by many of them? Have you never read any of the stories about criminals being deported repeatedly only to walk right across the border again and in there criminal career graduate to rape or murder? What about those who are deported for repeated DUI and walk back across to continue the same life style and kill a family because they were driving while drunk again?

Finally, if you want mass immigration and a sustainable county at the same time you cannot have a welfare state. I the government did not help you or stand in your way but only inforced the law then that would work. The problem is far to many people come here to take. We must be able to vet anyone coming here. We must be able to stem the massive tide of heroine coming across the southern border. We must also welcome those immigrants who want to work and not take with open arms. Gee, what kind of apparatus would allow that?

Larry, this issue is far to nuanced for people on either side to make such a blanket statement.

The problem with immigration today is the people coming to the usa don’t want to adapt to the american way. we are adapting to their way. my grandparents had to learn to speak english to exist no one printed anything in italian. i resent the fact that i have to push 1 for english. etc., etc.,!!!! i blame the american people also for letting this happen. i think they forgot government is for the people by the people, not the government controlling everything or big business. (smile) just had to comment. weeeooooo.!!!

Thank you Larry for your comments. While this is a complicated issue I have to say I believe we become more tolerant of others, open minded, and richer human beings when we are exposed to different cultures and people, which is what has made our country so great for so long. This is a very personal issue for me. I am here because my father was an immigrant and our country welcomed him and my grandparents. We are now making it very difficult for good, well educated, talented people, like my Italian daughter-in-law, to come here and live, and contribute to our country. She has gone through our incredibly complicated, tedious legal process to live here and has been treated with hostility and suspicion along the way, certainly not feeling welcomed, and that makes me very sad and ashamed. This is not the America I was raised to believe in. When we isolate ourselves from others outside of our world, our world becomes small and we, as humans become small and fearful. We can’t afford to go down that road. My family and I will continue to embrace other cultures and people of all backgrounds, I would hope we can do that here in America.

1st. Great comment Larry.

2nd: “legal immigration” I wonder how many of us would be here as Americans if our ancestors had to jump through the same hoops back then that constitutes “legal immigration” now. Many ( I would say most) of our ancestors had to do one thing to “legally” immigrate here……show up. Land on Ellis Island and say you want to be an American. That was all it took…..for decades. It amazes me that a segment of our society can scream about “big government” and “over regulation” , but have no problem with the bloated bureaucracy that is our current immigration policy. We have moved the goal posts so far from their starting point at this time that “illegal immigration” is often the only choice. If I was some poor Hispanic gentlemen living in Mexico and I wanted to escape drug trafficking violence ( whose roots lie squarely at our feet due to our demand for the drugs ) and bring my family to safety there is no way I am waiting for the “proper channels” to play out. I am getting my family to safety.

” Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” There is no “unless” disclaimer.

Those of us whose ancestors are indigenous to North America may not agree with you. For the Native American, immigrants greatly contributed to their being “contained” on lands that their people knew were wastelands…and those who put them there knew this as well.
Secondly, times have changed dramatically since the 1960’s, with more and more “immigrants” coming to American to destroy her rather than to enhance her.

Thanks for the shout-out, Larry. (If, in fact, I am the Tom M. you reference.) #gladtobehere

Larry,

I totally agree. The only free gift I need is the one Given by our Heavenly Father.

We need to pray for our nation and our leaders to do what God can Bless.

Appreciate you and the company you have built. While we are small part, we are slowly putting into place practices we have learned thru the Dr Energy Saver dealership training and are growing.

Thanks for your blogs.

That is 100%. Talker or doers. Get out there and ride, don’t sit talking, smoking, drinking……………. Just do it. Cheers.
