Your Letters for Nov. 14, 2025
Proud of you for making the city better
Last Sunday I attended the 25th Pastoral Anniversary Celebration for Pastor Robert Warren and Kimberly
Warren. This seemingly minor event might be easy to overlook.
Instead of listing all the accomplishments these two wonderful examples of humanity have achieved I
would like to say “Well done, good and faithful servant.” But I am not God, so my voice would not be
heard above the sound of His blessing. And, from all appearances, you are not “done” so, I will leave
that unsaid.
I’d like to say “Thank you for the positive changes you have made to St Joseph.” But I am not an official
of this city. Surely the city will voice this sentiment toward you for all that you do to make this city a
better place to live.
But I would like to say, I am proud of you for:
The first steps you took in faith
Your dedication to helping others
Your tenacity in the face adversity
The lives you continue to touch in a personal, loving way
Doing what I did not find the strength to do
This was a major event. Love was attending, souls were strengthened, lives redirected, and God smiled
on you. Well done.

Revise Obamacare
I feel so bad for the Progressive Democrat/Communists who are feeling the heat and getting the blame for the Schumer shutdown! Their arrogance convinced them that they could assume that the old RINOS would knuckle to their smug ambition!
Now is time to strip the Affordable Care Act of it’s Obama features that allowed and encouraged the health insurance companies to financially feast on the taxpayers and their enrolled members. Obama is responsible for this dreadful outcome, as he feared the insurance companies would oppose the key piece of his presidential legacy! Therefore, he rejected the conservatives’ criticism that called for the health care insurance companies to be competitive with each other, even across state lines, to help make the program affordable. This failure left Obama Care to become one of the most damaging aspects of the Obama-Biden rampant inflationary spiral that has existed to this moment in time!
Congress needs to revise this program that will prevent the health care insurance companies from gouging the taxpayers and their participants!
