You write so beautifully. And you remember so beautifully. Thank you for sharing Greg. I don't know the song BIG LOG. Ill have to look it up. Another song came to my mind as I read your post. Here are the words. you will have to make up your own tune. I don't know how to share that. Blessings...
I have a Maker He formed my heart Before even time began My life was in his hands
I have a Father He calls me His own He'll never leave me No matter where I go
He knows my name He knows my every thought He sees each tear that falls And He hears me when I call
As FL law illustrates, no, not every person on death row is there because of murder. More curious, not everyone who has committed murder is on death row. Only 2% of people eligible for capital punishment are sentenced to death. The death penalty is often arbitrary - prosecutors seek the death penalty three times more often when the victim is white and the defendant African American. The death penalty isn't a deterrent, states with the death penalty do not have lower crime rates. The death penalty is biased towards the poor since nearly all death row inmates could not afford their own attorney. Death penalty proceedings are very expensive to our governments diverting huge amounts of resources way from keeping communities safe. http://www.amnestyusa.org/our-work/issues/death-penalty/us-death-penalty-facts I'm proud to say I'm from IL where Gov. Ryan (who eventually went to prison himself) put a moratorium on death row after concluding that it was impossible for the system to be just.
I was reading back through some of your posts and I realised I forgot to comment on this one! (Sorry!)
I'm yet to travel outside of Australia but it's on my to-do list. I was looking at flights a couple of days ago to Detroit. From here to Detroit is $1500 return. That's one of the annoying things about Australia, we're so far away from Europe/America so I'll need to stop spending and start saving more.
The best thing about where I live - I'm thirty minutes away from some of the best surf beaches in my state and fifteen minutes from the city. I get the best of both worlds.
I think the thing I enjoy the least is the fact that I've lived here for about seven years. I've stopped appreciating what's around because I see it daily.
The weather can be rubbish too. The other morning it was gorgeous, sunny and you didn't need a jacket and by lunch time there was a hail storm.

I have a Maker
He formed my heart
Before even time began
My life was in his hands
I have a Father
He calls me His own
He'll never leave me
No matter where I go
He knows my name
He knows my every thought
He sees each tear that falls
And He hears me when I call
