I am a big fan of Glenn Beck. Yes, I have said it and I don't care who knows it. I started listening to Glenn on the radio just after the Sept. 11th attacks and have listened almost daily since then, when able. I even joined "the Insider" so I could see Glenn on the Web cam and listen to his radio program when I couldn't listen during the 9-12 am broadcast. Since Glenn has also appeared on first CNN, then FOX News, my husband and I have tuned in or recorded each program.
Today's news is full of stressful events, including economic upheaval, political head-butting, disinformation, distrust, and just plain frustration. Add that to just the day-to-day lives that people live with their individual issues. We are in a real pressure-cooker world.
Well, in the midst of all this, my little screen saver runs on my computer. The screen saver I use the most is a series of my favorite photos that come in and go out in series. Among the pictures of friends and family, vacations, and happy events is a picture I took of Glenn when he was here in Richmond for the Rally for America event in March, 2003, to support our country and our deployed troops. My husband and I dressed in our best red, white and blue. I made a couple of signs and even made a silly hat made of duct tape (Glenn's listeners will know why this is significant). It was a great day! But what I remember most from that day, besides the approximate 10,000 people that were there with us, was this one picture that I snapped of Glenn and a little Cub Scout. So, today, I remember a simpler time -- I can't believe I'm saying that -- and a little picture that makes me smile every time it pops up on my computer's screen saver. Thanks, Glenn. And God bless you.
