There are many addictions other than tobacco and drugs. Addiction to cell phones and social media has been growing at an alarming rate with many traffic accidents, some resulting in death, attributed to this recent phenomena. Food addiction has been growing, also, and we are treating young children for related diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure. We have addiction to gambling, which is growing with the recent growth in casinos. Our sheriff told me a while ago that the robberies at the local Hotspots or video poker rooms were being done by drug addicts and gamblers who had lost their paychecks at the Hotspot and robbed the next one to have money for groceries when they got home.

Back in 1962, it was reported that there was evidence that smoking cigarettes could cause lung cancer. Shortly after, it was confirmed that there was a link between smoking and lung cancer. I was working as a medical technician, and I smoked cigarettes as did most of the people working at the hospital. We knew that there was something to the news as the doctors started to switch from cigarettes to cigars and pipes. I quit smoking and lasted for two years until the secondhand smoke got me, and I started smoking a pipe. For the next few years, I quit and restarted many times. I was addicted to tobacco.

Years ago, there was a president who was run out of office because he could not deliver the tapes he had recorded. Some minutes were missing, and he covered up a crime by his actions and words. Nixon resigned and the rest is history except the fact that both Republicans and Democrats agreed on his guilt. Today we have a memo that describes another situation that implicates the leaders of the FBI and a presidential nominee in a scheme to affect a national election, but there is no agreement between the parties to pursue the guilty and prevent this from happening again. The Republicans are pushing for all-out prosecutions, and the Democrats wish to cover it up and make it go away.

After one week of fuming about the letter from the Methodist bishop and read by my pastor in church last Sunday, I am still at a loss why an educated man would run with such a blatant back stabbing event by a politician. Sen. Durbin repeated what he said he heard, but others in the same meeting heard it differently and one member said that most of the people in the closed door meeting were shouting profanities. The only reason for the bishop to run with this to discredit the president was to use anything he could to back up his preconceived conclusion that the president was a racist. He presented no other evidence or actions that he used to reach his belief.

This morning I heard some hearsay from the pulpit. Our minister read a missive from the head bishop, Bruce Ough, about the Trump meeting behind closed doors in which one of the members reported that the president had said that people from some countries were “shit holes.” The minister did not say shit but let us know what he meant. The missive went on calling the president a racist and other names and that we as a church did not condone his actions. The reading ended with a prayer for the president, which I partook in.
