Pueblo Chieftain interview, July 5, 2010, great article

christinesmith — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 14:55:33 +0000

I was interviewed by the Pueblo Chieftain regarding my libertarian perspective on Colorado issues, and on the state and federal government in general. I share it with my blog readers because this interview may be of interest to all my libertarian friends no matter where you live, since it was such a well-rounded interview. Excellent, because in addition to the important Colorado issues, I had an opportunity to share about libertarianism, those writers who I’ve learned from, freedom and limited government (and the greatest threat to Americans’ personal freedom being their own state and federal gov.). I invite you to read it. It was in the print newspaper and also available online. Was in the July 5, 2010 Pueblo Chieftain.

Met the Gadsden Rattlesnake Today

I met the Gadsden rattlesnake today. About eight feet in front of me, there it was – a large yellow rattlesnake. It was approximately 3 feet long. As it slid into the clover, I approached closer noting its triangular head. rattler and its unusual yellow tan underlying color beneath its markings. I’m always careful to watch my footfalls here, don’t want to tread on any snake, particularly not the Gadsden.

PEACE

christinesmith — Sun, 16 May 2010 18:46:19 +0000

I deeply appreciate this quote from St. Austin. It makes me all the more seek development love of all and God and what that entails in humility, giving, and zeal for being apart of furthering what is right and true. It is the peace I want to maintain and develop no matter the circumstances in life. When it is not present, I become aware it is because I have mistakenly strayed from trust and faith and thus loving actions.

“Peace is the serenity of the soul, the tranquillity of the mind, the simplicity of the heart, the bond of love, and the union of charity.” – St. Austin (from The Manual of The Holy Catholic Church – Embracing Light from the Altar, James J. McGovern, D.D. (Copr. 1906 by James J. McGovern, Copr. 1920 by Joseph R. Gay)
