When I saw the headline on the video, I managed to get past it. It had something to do with Trump stopping a rally in North Carolina and the way it was worded made me think that there was some big crisis. I thought I made it safely past the temptation to watch. I was wrong.
My wife blind-sided me.
I was in the middle of fixing breakfast and she called me because she had something she had to share. When I realized it was something on the TV that she was watching and it had to do with the Trump rally in North Carolina I was somewhat interested, because I had ignored it before. She didn’t call me in, however, to hear what he was saying. She called me in to show me what I think the Clickbait was talking about, he was showing off his grandchildren.
I am aware that under the gruff exterior Trump has a warm heart, especially for his children and grandchildren. This was nothing new to me, but it was rather heartwarming. He had his granddaughter say “Make America Great Again”. He had his grandson ask people to vote for grandpa. It was Trump at his best. It was the Trump who has repeatedly down through his life done things for little people. He’s been more than willing to share his wealth with those less fortunate than him. He’s a very generous man. It’s just show that side of him which the media doesn’t like the show.
I’m guessing that this aspect of the North Carolina rally will not be shown on CNN. I could be wrong. I’ve been wrong before. But I’ve not been wrong near as often as CNN.

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.
Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.
