Looking Down on Us 

     If you read yesterday's Views, you might assume we're referring to God...looking down. Well, the Holy Spirit is God with us. 

     Here we refer to U.S. insurance companies, using satellite imagery to check the condition of homeowners' property, such as roofs. Sometimes they cancel policies as a result. Thank goodness we had our roof cleaned on Monday, for $1,000. Whew! 

     Meanwhile, we're looking for someone to clean and seal the pavers on our driveway. Two companies said they didn't need us to describe condition, size etc. They were looking down, thanks to a satellite. 

     We don't need a satellite to count the number of readers we have. Our "day" starts and ends at 8 p.m. Normally, it's in single digits. Suddenly, eight days ago, 166 read Views. Then there were five more days over 100, then 66, followed by a record 244. While you were reading my welcome, 172 more readers joined you, for a 24-hour record 416. 

     What's going on? We're super glad you are checking us out...we try to provide worthwhile information you may not otherwise have. We're also challenged. We don't want to waste your time. 

     We close with a quote by an Islamic activist - looking down on us - at a rally in Dearborn, Michigan: "We live in one of the rottenest countries that has ever existed on this earth." The crowd responded with shouts of "Death to America" and "Death to Israel." 

...the mouths of liars will be silenced. Psalm 63:11
