Bless this day to us, Oh LORD! The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward. Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults. Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression. Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer. Psalm 19:9-14

    Spot ON article!
    I am a Gen-X currently residing in California. There isn’t a day that goes by I’m not thinking about MY ‘Plan B’. I too had dreams of raising my children in the ‘California’ I once knew. My father started his career on Van Ness, SF back in the late 50’s & 60’s. I remember how he proudly introduced me to all the wonderful places he’d frequent – his tailor, baker, barber, iconic restaurants & shopping. A SF, that has been utterly destroyed.
    Those heartwarming memories have all been blown to smithereens by ‘installed’ corrupt politicians, illegitimate elections, evil running the streets without consequence, deadly drugs coming across our borders, and WOKE school systems. So MUCH MORE.
    To those of us left contemplating our Plan B’s, I pray for you and your families.

    I’ve been a resident of California for 30 years and my heart breaks for the decline of my once beautiful state. Even though my husband and I would have seriously contemplated a move, we find ourselves still here, praying and doing what we can to support our local community, while our only daughter attends private college in the Los Angeles area. How can we leave our precious girl to tend to herself, even though she is “an adult now” and she is openly thankful to still have her San Diego home to escape to, as she navigates University life? So we remain, we pray and we dream of better days ahead – where true healing will take place for all of us who are devoted to stay.
