In A Perfect World.......


In A Perfect World Love Would Prevail Above Anything. Life Would Begin With God's Blessing. Kindness And Goodness Would Be All We Know. There Would Be No Poverty, No Sickness, No Death. Just An Everlasting Wonderland Of Perfection.
Growing Up In Danville Illinois Was Satisfying. By That I Mean Life Was Simpler. A Small Midwestern Town In America's Heartland. A Town Eager To Be Recognized As A Place Where Abraham Lincoln Practiced Law Before Becoming Our Country's 16th President. A Town That Rolled Out The Red Carpet For Not One, Not Two, But Many On Screen Celebrities Who Called Danville Their Home.
Growing Up In Danville Gave You Values And Self Respect. Miles Away From The Hustle And Bustle Of Big City Life, Danville Was The Perfect Place To Raise Your Children.
I Was The Second Child Born To A Young Couple Who Promised God They Would Provide Love And Guidance. Two Were Born After Me And Yet The Family Was Not Complete. Mom And Dad Became Foster Parents To Children Who Needed A Home With Love And Stability. Being Raised In A Large Family Gave Me Lessons In Life. Lessons That Can't Be Taught From A Book. First And For Most God Was And Always Has Been The Center Of My Life. I May Not Be The Bible Thumping Fanatic, Yet God Knows My Heart.
Life Has Taken My Life In Many Directions. None I Would Consider In Travel, However In The People I Have Met A Long The Way. Very Interesting People. I Had The Pleasure In Meeting The Most Simplest Human Beings On Earth And Felt Blessed By It. Their Story, Their Way Of Life. The People The Bible Spoke Of. People Who Lived The Life Of Poverty. My Father Was Raised In Poverty. The Son Of A Preacher Who Didn't Know Life With Electricity In His Younger Years. Back Then As Well As Today The Economy Has Crippled Our Nation, The Land Of The Free. Healthcare Had Taken A Backseat In The Mightiest Nation On Earth. Whether It Be The Pharmaceutical, The Insurance Companies, Or The Doctors, Maybe A Combination Of All. Children's Teeth Rot Because Dental Care Was Not Available To Them. The Sick Could Not Afford Their Medicine And Keep The Power On Too. People Die Everyday In This Country Of Ours. They Die From Afflictions, Or Illnesses That Could Be Cured. Greed Is Placing A $100.00 Per Pill Ordered By Your Doctor. A Pill That May Have Cost 3 Cents To Manufacture.
In A Perfect World We Could Have More Love And Compassion Toward Our Fellow Man. Less Judgement And More Peace With Our Brother.
A Better Understanding For Those Who Suffer From Depression. A Comforting And Assuring Word For Those Who May Be Contemplating Suicide.
In A Perfect World I Would Have My Son Alive And Well And Enjoying Life To The Fullest.
In A Perfect World.......
