Cuba harbor fugitives of american justice. there are people living on the island of cuba who have violated american law, including those who have stolen millions of dollars from medicare fraud in south florida and have fled to cuba. those are three reasons right there to care about what is happening on the island of cuba, which happens to be 90 miles from our shores, basically a neighboring country.

Out of my deeper heart a bird rose and flew skywards. higher and higher did it rise, yet larger and larger did it grow. at first it was but like a swallow, then a lark, then an eagle, then as vast as a spring cloud, and then it filled the starry heavens. out of my heart a bird flew skywards. and it waxed larger as it flew. yet it left not my heart.

For some reason, we can't go to cuba, businesses in american can't do business in cuba. i think that that is stupid. so i hope very much and applaud the president for his efforts in that direction and hope that in the not-too-distant future, that if i have anything to say about it as president, we will work aggressively to develop normal relations in every respect with the people of cuba.

Jesus went into the temple and boldly drove out those that bought and sold. and when all was cleared, there was nobody left but jesus. observe this, for it is the same with us: when he is alone he is able to speak in the temple of the soul. if anyone else is speaking in the temple of your soul, jesus will keep still, as if he were not at home. and he is not at home wherever there are strange guests-guests with whom the soul holds conversation, guests who are seeking to bargain. if jesus is to speak and be heard, the soul must be alone and quiet.
