Just looking for positives, however small.

I don't know that this is "small."

This is an outstanding speech about a critical subject, and it's refreshing to see that it was well-received.

Maybe Gowdy, with his passion for law, can light a fire under some complacent, do-nothing Congressmen.
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

"Sometimes I think the Church would be better off if we would call a moratorium on activity for about six weeks and just wait on God to see what He is waiting to do for us. That's what they did before Pentecost."   - A. W. Tozer

Use the time God is giving us to seek His will and feel His presence.

I trust five minutes after the speech and applause they were back to fund raising and business as usual.

We need 434 just like him.  :patriot:

Select committee NOW!
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
