Dr. Jack Wheeler runs To The Point News, described as "An Oasis for Rational Conservatives." One of my favourite aspects of TTPN is its articles that go beyond the political 'stuff' to help readers improve their lives. Like this one:
"Last week was the 13th birthday of my youngest son, Jackson. One evening a few days before, I was engrossed in writing on the computer when my wife reminded me it was Jackson's bedtime. He was in bed reading, waiting for me to kiss him goodnight....
...There will come a time – and terribly sooner than I would realize – when I would give anything to have Jackson down the hall, in his room, waiting for me to come and kiss him goodnight. I would give anything to have a time machine, to be able to come back in time to just this moment right now, to be able to have him there in his bed in his room, to kiss him good night just one more time.
I was immobilized by these thoughts. Then I realized that I did have a time machine of sorts...."
A brilliant point follows, one that can save relationships and make a huge difference in our real lives beyond the blogs and the issues of the day.

Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:
*This* puts text in bold.
_This_ puts text in italics.
bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.
To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.
