Biblical wisdom says: "Tune your ears to wisdom, and concentrate on understanding. Cry out for insight, and ask for understanding. Search for them as you would for silver . . . Then you will understand what is right, just and fair, and you will find the right way to go. For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will fill you with joy," (Proverbs 2:2-10 NLT).
Do you know what your world view is? Or the world view of your local political candidates? I encourage you to search seriously. For example, politicians have declared that we have a climate crises without providing any supporting scientific evidence. For a wise and thoughtful look at the facts of this issue, google this week's Lethbridge Herald article, "A fact-check on promises: Political parties' emissions pledges aren't realistic." The writer, Cosmos Voutsinos, is a Lethbridge based professional engineer whose career included work ranging from system designs in the Canadian nuclear industry to the construction management of U.S. power plants in Taiwan. He states, "Politicians in Government have the power to change the policies and the laws of our country but they cannot change the laws of physics."
Vote according to your world view and exercise your freedom of thought, speech, religion and conscience. Please don't be cowed by political correctness. The well being of the people must be paramount in the mind of the government.

All Things Bright and Beautiful
Welcome back to Norford's Ramblings on Monday, October 14, 2019 - Thanksgiving Day!
The luscious Thanksgiving meal I have just enjoyed at my new address: Pemmican Lodge, 102 - 5 Ave. S., Lethbridge, Ab. T1J 0S9, flooded my mind with harvest songs that have been sung in God-fearing communities for centuries. For the Beauty of the Earth, Now Thank we all our God, and the children's hymn of praise: All Things Bright and Beautiful are some old favorites that come to mind. An Irish lass, Cecil Frances Alexander (1818-95) wrote many hymns, but this latter children's hymn has stood the test of time, and today the words fit in with ecological concerns of both adults and children. Mrs. Alexander had a strong social conscience and worked tirelessly for the relief of the poor. Many of her hymns, inspired by what she saw around her, provide a glimpse of life in Ireland in the mid-nineteenth century.
This Thanksgiving I am delighted to be back on-line and in touch with you all. I am specifically grateful to God, and my 'techy' daughter Alexandra-Joy for re-connecting me to blogger sphere this weekend! Also to my local daughter Karen and New Zealand daughter Heather for their continued encouragement. A real bonus for me is that Bryan's fans can now access his old blogs! And I was always his No.1 fan! I am trusting God for a weekly blog and that I will continue his legacy and love of religion and politics!
Praying your Thanksgiving has been full to the brim of blessings from above.
