Thanks to everyone who made it possible for us to hear Dr. Ben Carson in person on Aug. 18 at Rotary Park. His ideas for logical, intelligent solutions for the extremely complex problems plaguing our nation are refreshing, and filled with sound principles. Regardless of who wins the presidential election in 2016, we stand to learn from this great man when we get beyond our biases and mocking opinions of others who hold different points of view. I pray members of our community will exercise honest and patient efforts to openly talk with one another to find understanding and solutions that will strengthen our nation’s fabric for future generations and honor those who have gone before. United we stand; divided we fall.
