Thoughts

“Better is good” – really

January 24, 2026 By Robert Saul

“Better is good, and better is actually a lot harder than worse.” “Better is good” is never an endpoint, but it certainly can provide some comfort if things do not get worse and provide encouragement for the continued “good fight” done on behalf of those whose lives we seek to improve.

Orphans no more

January 17, 2026 By Robert Saul

Labels

Labels have no place in describing people. I am particularly concerned about labels being tossed around in the current political climate and how dangerous this can be. It corrodes the moral fabric of our society.

A Declaration for Children

December 28, 2025 By Robert Saul

Children are as important as “the men” put forth in the Declaration. Their health and well-being in the early years are the path to their unalienable rights of Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

December 22, 2025 By Robert Saul
