What Now?

Not only do I get an email from James Clear each week, I also get advised of new podcasts on a weekly basis from someone I find incredibly interesting.  The person was high up in politics but has since retired.
His former position probably enables him to interview what I regard as very interesting people.  They have been experts in the field of climate change, China, sex, immigration and defence, to name a few.  The podcasts are mostly over an hour long and I generally get a sentence or two for each, that impacts me big time.
I was watching a podcast on Saturday where a book written by the person being interviewed was said to be a good read and full of surprising data.  It was also said to be an easy read.  The person being interviewed is a journalist.
The interesting, easy read, sparked my interest.  I have found with some writing difficult subjects are difficult reading.  In other instances, difficult subjects are easy to understand as the matter is explained in an easy to understand manner.
I decided I wanted the book.  It was ordered on Sunday and arrived on Monday. Sure enough it is interesting and well written.  I found that I had read 120 pages or so in very little time.
Like the podcasts I find certain sentences interesting and impactful.  For example he quotes Ross Douthat of the New Your Times as saying, “if you didn’t like the religious right wait until you meet the post religious right.” I do agree with that.  I find that the extremes of right and left are scary.
He talks about what is being promoted today as beginning and ending in despair and so much policy being based on opinion rather than facts.
I do not pretend to be an authority on such things but only know what I see. I search deeper when I feel I am only hearing one side of a story.  The more I see, the more I feel the abandonment of our Christian heritage is shooting ourselves in the foot.
But that is the way I see things.  It is up to all to determine a course of action and for me to love no matter what.
