For good or bad, what was once charitable work by the Christian church has become government entitlements. Thankfulness is an atti- tude and way of life, and not something celebrated one day a year. Thankfulness is a springboard into living a life pleasing unto God. The Christian lives by "love thy neighbor as thy- self," and "when you have opportunity, do good to oth- ers." Think about it! Continued from page 8 THANKFUL process at a time you are trying to sleep, because carrying burdens when it is time to rest is not a good thing to do. There is always tomorrow. I did not mean to practice ignoring prob- lems, but rather practice setting aside a proper time for reflection and problem solving. • • • Here's a few more things to be thankful for: The sun comes out dai- ly for sure, although it gets covered by clouds some- times. We enjoy a steady provi- sion for our daily bread. We have comforts and conveniences half of the world just dreams about. We have enjoyed a rela- tively long period of order- liness and peace. We constantly strive to preserve and improve our country's infrastructure. Our health care system is one of the best in the world. Our economy seems strong. There are still many churches and faiths that continue to nourish our na- tion with good and strong moral values. Now, we live in an imper- fect world and there will al- ways be problems and chal- lenges and sometimes hor- rific events. But we all can try our best on a daily basis to do the best we can to he- al divisions, remedy hurts, solve problems and carry grateful hearts. So, I challenge the read- er to remember or write down seven ( or more) items we should be grateful for and recite them aloud as we gather around the din- ner table during Thanks- giving Day. Remember, it's not all about the Turkey. Check out Psalm 92:1-10 and Psalm 118:1-4. Have a blessed week. Continued from page 8 GRATEFUL ders at the deafening si- lence where there's clear, unambiguous evidence. For example, if ocean lev- els have been rising for some 20,000 years, why do scientists allow envi- ronmentalists to get away with the claim that it's a result of man-made global warming? Why aren't there any reporters to highlight leftist statements such as those by Edenhofer, Stew- art and others who want to ride global warming as a means to defeat capital- ism and usher in socialism and communism? I would prefer to think that the si- lence of so many scientists represent their fears as op- posed to their going along with the environmental ex- tremist agenda. Walter E. Williams is a professor of economics at George Mason University. Continued from page 8 SCIENCE Continued from page 8 OUTREACH meaninglessness on the traditional family. The conservative major- ity we now have in the Su- preme Court — thanks to President Trump — may well find, during this term, the Blaine Amendments in the constitutions of 37 states to be unconstitution- al. This major roadblock to parents using public funds to send their children to re- ligious school will be gone. It would be an Emancipa- tion Proclamation in educa- tion for black children. The Democratic Party of today is no home for blacks. Republicans need to do the work to get to black voters the truth that they can find a home in the Republican Party.

Continued from page 8 STRENGTH the most effectual means of preserving peace." This concept of peace through strength is the most effective way to en- sure our safety at home. It also ensures a safer and more peaceful world, as it reassures our allies and de- ters potential adversaries. Too many Americans take for granted the abili- ty to go to work, play out- side with the kids, or just go to bed at night and not live in fear of a missile at- tack, soldiers marching through our streets, or ter- rorists attacking a differ- ent city each week. People around the world live with those fears that we do not. With our adversaries growing stronger and bold- er each day, we can no lon- ger assume we'll always be safe. We must be willing to equip those who protect us with what they need to en- sure this country remains the strongest and freest on Earth and a beacon of hope for freedom-loving people around the world.
