Today at the Editor’s Glance:
Flagler Broadcasting’s four radio stations, including flagship WNZF, hold a six-hour Food-A-Thon today, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., starting with Free For All Fridays, hosted by David Ayres, and are raising money until then. The aim is to raise $200,000, which can then be leveraged into more than $1 million for Grace Community Food Pantry, the Palm Coast operation that serves between 3,500 and 4,500 needy families every week. The Food-A-Thon will ensure that each family will have the equivalent of $100 a week’s worth of groceries through at least the new year. To pledge or participate in the Million Dollar Food-A-Thon, send an email to [email protected], or make checks out to Grace Community Food Bank and send them to WNZF, 2405 E. Moody Blvd Bunnell, FL. 32110. Donations and pledges are being accepted now through July 8, or send in your pledge by downloading the form.

You cannot receive a shock, unless you have an electric affinity for that which shocks you. Have no affinity for what is shocking. Do not present a gleaming edge to ward off harm, for that will oftenest attract the lightning, but rather be the all-pervading ether which the lightning does not strike but purify. Then will the rudeness or profanity of your companion be like a flash across the face of your sky, lighting up and revealing its serene depths. Earth cannot shock the heavens; but its dull vapor and foul smoke make a bright cloud spot in the ether, and anon the sun, like a cunning artificer, will cut and paint it, and set it for a jewel in the breast of the sky. When we are shocked at vice we express a lingering sympathy with it. Dry rot, rust, and mildew shock no man, for none is subject to them.
–From Thoreau’s Journals, June 22, 1840.

For years, the Democratic Party has chased Jesus and God out of America. America was formed with the Christian Judo agenda. This pix just shows that the courts justices are nothing but politicians in black robes. The court is supposed to follow the constitution, and not make laws.
