Another great assessment of what is good about rural Iowa. One does need to be assertive in a positive rather than a hateful way. I was reminded of that while shopping yesterday and was stopped by a former student who wished to catch up on local news. When he became saying nasty things about our current situation I was able to quickly direct the conversation to a more civil way of talking. The look on his face suddenly relaxed and we both had good time catching up.
I was at the IFU barn party last night when Bob read this. Inspiring like the perfect hymn at worship, calling us to do more than we think we can do because it reminds us of who we are!
Thanks for this wonderful statement, Bob. Good to be reminded and to have hope.
Thanks again for the reminder that we must NOT QUIT STANDING UP for decency and reason and equality.
