I have spent a lot of time here on RJsCorner talking about what I think is presently wrong with the U.S. In the same light, I also talk much about what has happened to Christianity. I have written so many posts on these topics that some of my readers seem to have the impression that I hate God and America! I certainly need to do more posts about what I love about both these things.

It’s not that I hate either, it is just that I am so disappointed in some of the paths these two institutions have been travelling lately. My second excuse for the negative posts is that I am simply “Mr. Fix-it”. When I see something that can be improved, it is the core of my being to find ways to do just that. I don’t know if this is part of my Aspie traits, or just part of my particular nature?

I have three special projects that I am currently in the process of fabricating here on RJsCorner:

1. Quakerism Revisited – This will be a revisit of posts that I wrote more than a decade ago. The purpose of this project is to discover how much I have evolved spiritually during this time.
   
2. Words of Wisdom – Tolstoy – I recently discovered Leo Tolstoy and how prolific a writer he was. He is now one of my heroes/mentors on what it means to be a writer.
   
3. Americana – To balance out my concerns about what is happening in American politics, I am going to do this special project which will give you some cultural history by telling you stories with multiple pictures of the places I have visited over my lifetime. I love this country and I think I can prove it via this project.
   
   America, meaning generally the U.S. has a many historic places, and I have visited many more of them than I can count. So, to try to balance out my posts about things that now concern me, I will show you some of the reasons that I am proud to be an American.

I believe that this will be a very fruitful path for RJsCorner in 2023.
