What Super Power Would You Choose?




Recently, Bill Gates was asked what super power he would choose. His answer was more energy.
I was thinking, "what super power would I choose?"
Would I choose super strength, the ability to fly, able to leap tall buildings with a single bound, or super senses. Super senses wouldn't be bad. Able to see through things, super hearing. I'm not sure if I would like super hearing. I don't think I would want to know what some people are saying. Super speed wouldn't be bad. I would like super powers to be able to save people from disasters.
I think I would like teleportation. I thought how amazing that would be. I could see all of my family in one day. I could be in Cincinnati with my family there and have breakfast with them. Spend the morning with them. Go to Indiana at noon. I could see my family there and spend some time with my Dad. Then I would go to Kentucky and spend the afternoon with a couple of my grandkids that live there. And in the evening teleport myself to San Antonio, Texas and have supper. Yes, I think teleportation would be the super power I would choose.
I would just have to be careful when teleporting that I didn't show up at the wrong time. That could be embarrassing. But I would like that super power.
There is nothing I enjoy more than getting to see my family and spending time with them. If one of my grand kids had something special at school or church, or it was their Birthday, I could be there with a blink of the eye. I would never miss another celebration or special event.
I know teleportation is impossible, but I know my heart is always with my family. Part of my heart is with each one of them. Whenever they go through something, or have a special day and I can't be there, I'm thinking of them, praying for them, and loving them.

My Two Cents

I'll admit that I probably watch too much television. But honestly, there are so many shows on right now that embarrass me. As soon as they come on, I change the station.
It seems like the shows today always have a gay person, the families have so many diverse relationships, sex, and words that should not be allowed.
 
When our sons were growing up, we had a rule - if the show embarrassed me while we were watching it, I changed the station. I embarrass very easily. Our one son always would tell people that he never got to watch a whole show his entire life.

I would probably be considered very old fashion. But I don't care. I grew up watching "The Donna Reed Show," "Leave it to Beaver," "Andy Griffith," "Father Knows Best," and so many other wholesome shows. They showed normal families with moral values. Also I loved the old westerns -
"Roy Rogers Show," "Bonanza," "Gunsmoke."
"Father Knows Best"
"The Donna Reed Show"
 
 

The shows I grew up watching, they influenced my life. I still remember watching some of these shows and thinking, "I want to have a family like that some day."
If the shows today are influencing our children, it is sad.
 
 
 
 

We live in a scary world, where our kids are growing up thinking that what they see on television is the new normal. Give me a family like "Father Knows Best" any old day.

 
 
 
 
 
 
  
Well like I said that's my Two Cents worth.

Thanksgiving - The Forgotten Holiday

I was walking down the aisles of a store the other day. On one side of the aisle was Halloween decorations and costumes and on the ...
