2018 National Gun Owner's Action Survey

Received the 2018 National Gun Owner's Action Survey from the National Rifle Association (NRA) in the mail this week.  The Survey asks the following questions:

1. Do you agree that the Second Amendment guarantees your individual right to own a firearm?

2. Do you support confirmation of pro-Second Amendment judges to the U.S. Supreme Court and the lower federal courts?

3. Do you support laws that protect your fundamental right to use a firearm to defend yourself and your loved ones from a violent criminal attacker?

4. Should Congress and the states eliminate so-called "gun free zones" that leave innocent citizens defenseless against terrorists and violent criminals?

5. Should Congress pass National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity, so that law-abiding permit holders can exercise their right to self-defense when traveling outside their home state? 

6. Do you oppose any United Nations treaty that strips the U.S. of its sovereignty and gives U.N. diplomats the power to regulate every rifle, pistol and shotgun you own?

7. The anti-gun media claims that most gun owners support mandatory, national gun registration.  Do you agree that law-abiding citizens should be forced to submit to mandatory gun registration or else forfeit their guns and their freedom?

8. Should NRA direct critical resources toward stopping anti-gun billionaires like Michael Bloomberg who are spending millions of dollars to destroy your Second Amendment freedom in states around the country?

9. Would you vote to reelect a member of the U.S. Congress or your state legislature who supports the gun-ban agenda?

10. Will you authorize NRA to use your survey answers to fight for you fundamental right to own a firearm for shooting, hunting and personal protection?

11. Will you fight for your freedom by joining NRA today?

I pretty much know how I would respond to these questions, but I wonder how would you?

Peace,

Happiness Happens

The following email was originally posted on August 8, 2018 Today, August 8, is celebrated by some as "Happiness Happens Day".   https://anydayguide.com/calendar/3304 I suppose in the grand scheme of things, a day devoted to letting happiness happen may seem a bit frivolous.  But, for the last few minutes, just thinking about, and writing about, a day that is devoted to making happiness happen has... dare I say it ... made me happy.  And so, in an effort to see if maybe happiness can be spread, I send to each of you this email and I pray that you too will take a moment to let happiness happen for you. Peace, Everett "Skip" Jenkins

The Saints Amongst Us All

The following email was originally posted on August 16, 2018 Michael, The internet can be a wonderful tool ... and educational as well.  Taking up your challenge, this is what I found just this morning about the decanonization of saints https://abcnews.go.com/International/saint-saint-kind-demoted/story?id=23477573 and this article shows how, in the 21st century, the canonization process has indeed changed http://theconversation.com/who-becomes-a-saint-in-the-catholic-church-and-is-that-changing-81011 And so, Michael, it does appear to beg the question as to whether, over time, certain saints may be decanonized because the process for their selection may have been flawed. Any thoughts? Peace, Everett "Skip" Jenkins Class of 1975 P.S. Also, please note that from a Protestant perspective, the notion of saints has become broader to where all who call themselves "Christian" may be considered to be a saint https://www.livingluth...

August 29: The Day the Music Was Born

The following email was originally posted on August 29, 2018 With all that is going on in the world, it may seem strange to note the birthday of a music icon who passed away almost a decade ago.  However, strange as it may seem, I do pause to remember Michael Jackson's birthday since he would have turned 60 years old today.  Somehow that number just does not seem to fit the man who seemed to be the eternal Peter Pan.  But time does march on, whether we want it to or not. In response to the email I sent in June, one of my classmates kindly wrote back and informed me that he was actually at the 1988 concert at Wembley Stadium in England that is depicted in the second video.  It was a most notable concert because not only was my classmate there but apparently so too were Princess Diana and Prince Charles.  It must have been a magical memory... one that seems to be too few in this life and this world. On this day, I invite you to once again partake of the ...
