He said, "Keep the 'Old Country' in your heart, but put 'Old Glory' on your sleeve." It was quite good; try to google it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-848491628396529552.post-33855225195185551742011-05-17T19:34:03.083-07:002011-05-17T19:34:03.083-07:00Excellent column.

Like you say, we're not the sum of our mistakes. I've done some sh%&ty things and been condemned for it, but it's not the sum total of who I am either.<br /><br />Like you, I realize where I've gone wrong, and I've resolved to avoid the same errors. We have to look at people as an entire package.<br /><br />Even someone like WBC patriarch Fred Phelps...he's done some egregiously bad things, but also some good things too. However, several of his estranged children (especially Mark and Nate) feel that he's become too hypocritical and self-righteous, and so they're speaking out against him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-848491628396529552.post-20457810228257250602011-05-16T00:26:47.272-07:002011-05-16T00:26:47.272-07:00Beautiful post Bernie-it sounds like some good cam...Beautiful post Bernie-it sounds like some good came out of your incarceration even if justice wasn't served.

Even when couples stay together, we really don't know what's happening within the relationship. With all the personal and cultural stress on people today, it's amazing when a marriage continues. Yes, I think the appropriate feeling is sadness when there is loss. Who can judge or condemn?<br /><br />Prayers and love continue for your family. And it's good to hear from you!Carole in Cupertinonoreply@blogger.com
