    The “Confederate Flag”, a rectangular variant of the Battle Flag. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Remember back during the Charleston tragedy, the Confederate flag was taken down from the court house.

I've more than likely not taken my own medicine. The prescription can be found in Proverbs 17:22: "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine:" The last chapter of 2020 closed a few weeks ago, but not without promising us more heartache in 2021.
