I spent the last six months of his life with Spencer MacCallum, helping him complete his life work of preserving his grandfather's ideas. The most important thing I learned from him is to avoid polluting my mind and conversation with the news and the outrage it provokes. It's a hard lesson to learn, and I still struggle with it.

I understand the urge to consider the question of when is enough, but I think Spencer was right. Focusing on future evils and our response takes away from our opportunity to focus on truth, beauty, and growth.

For those interested in Spencer Heath's ideas, I was able to complete the Spencer Heath Archive and deliver it to Universidad Francisco Marroquin in Guatemala City. It is also available on their website, ufm.edu. The main thing Spencer and I worked on was completing the book Economics and the Spiritual Life of Free Men, which was published by the American Institute for Economic Research and is available on Amazon.

I am hopeful there are good factions within waiting for their moment to pounce. Prepared to pull the trigger before we as individuals have to. I still encourage us to prepare in the event they fail. It is always wise to have a backup plan.

As I look around, the evil has overexposed itself thinking it has won. Parading down the streets and on every channel. Once again hopeful, this evil will be rounded up and extinguished to a smoldering pile.

This potential darker age can be more of a quick and somewhat painful transition, like that of removing a bandage. Then we will move on to lighter days. A lot of hoping going on with me!😌😝
