CSC Talk Radio # 3547 – 12/31/24 – New Year’s Wishes – “I don’t know what the future holds, but I do know who holds the future.” George W. Truett
We should cling to that every day.
I can’t remember when this nation was so excited for change… except perhaps when Ronald Reagan became president. Perhaps Carter was a decent man, but he was NOT a good president.
I think perhaps my greatest wish this year is that justice be carried out.
