I am Laertes

Fellow Labourers-

The subject may be strange to some of us but even before you read the article here is a quote from Shakespeare's The tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark. This is Hamlet speaking,
"O, that this too too sullied flesh would melt,
Thaw and resolve itself into dew,
Or that the Everlasting had not fixed
His canon gainst self-slaughter.
O God, God, How weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable
Seem to me all the uses of this world!"

As I write this quote and ponder the article I feel saddened that we have lost the art of reading. The bible tells us that its stories are written for our examples and yet so few of us spend time enough to study it until it forms a part of our very existence. If we are not to become a people of mere savages we need to know our past and what better way than to read. Leaders must read and get others to read. I intend to lead by example. To those of us who take the time to read these articles we are well on the way.

Pax Vobiscum

P.S.I know you missed me for a few days, but happy independence.
