“The Party is over”, that is an old country song that was reincarnated on Monday Night Football. Little did we know the lights would go out in the city of Colorado Springs. The lights must go out in an effort to cut cost wherever it can be done.
It is a tough time for all in the beginning months of 2010, lets see, a huge earthquake in Haiti; church members are put in jail. A reminder that this country could get attacked again by terrorists, and we learned that on Christmas. Airplanes forced to land in Colorado Springs, even La Junta gets involved with some one talking trash on Amtrak.
Perhaps that is why when this year I go to church, it is always full. History reveals that our parents went though worst times; I guess it is time to test this generation. Are we spending too much time texting and tweeting?
There are many that say yes, some say no, but that is why we live in the US, that so why many have served in US Forces, so we can have many options.
We must survive the many cuts that are coming. We all know the meaning of the word furlough by now. Cut school to only 4 days a week, where will it all end?
Lets work hard, keep the party going, we don’t need the lights.
