Good morning America!

          Has anyone else noticed that you don't see children playing outside anymore? When I get in the car and drive thru my neighborhood I never see children riding bikes or playing ball. All you see is beautiful homes and cars to match. Where are all the children? Let me guess, playing Fortnite? The electronics of this world has really taken control of everyone and not in a positive way! If  you notice we all so glued to our gadgets! No one can dare survive without their cell phones in their hands. All eyes are glued to social media every free second they get. If they are driving in the car, people will damn near kill you and themselves trying to see what's new on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. Oh and don't get me started on the texting and driving, geesh! The rudeness of it all and the accidents because of it is out of control. We have to find a way to get our families back to the table. Dinner time used to be the time where parents could communicate with their children about their lives. We have to take back family time. Force the kids to turn the phones off for at least an hour and tune into life again. Focus on the family and change the world! Now that's what making America great again is really about, improving family life. Teaching kids to have respect for themselves and others. Using manners and learning how to interact with others without the stereotypes and labels. Human compassion and understanding, that's making America great! Stay blessed and stay woke!
