No matter how many times there is a new round of bad news, a learning experience is sure to follow. I have been seeing many quotes relative to being faced with trials, and how we are to deal with it. My typical approach has in the past been panic, fear of the unknown accompanied with the loss of sleep and appetite. I have learned from several different sources the basic principal, that situations can occur for both the good and bad, but it is our response to the scenario that defines the outcome.
I do have faith in a loving Father in Heaven, but it is my weakness of faith that diminishes my ability to place my burdens on his Sons shoulders as suggested in Holy Writ and have the faith that all will be okay. I do have faith, and have seen it work time after time and in those events where I express my faith with a calm and peaceful response that I find my place of peace. God bless those around me that come by this pure faith naturally, for showing me the way and believing.

I believe in Las Vegas
Several years ago a movie came out, called "Miracle on 34th Street". In this movie a man who portrayed Santa Clause was demonized by evil and conspiring men as a monster for a set up scenario. The event was staged to discredit Santa Claus the man, create wealth opportunities for the owners, and shareholders of a competing toy store chain that was unable to get "The Santa Claus" to come work for them.
In many ways the events of the past few years in Las Vegas are similar in nature to the premise of this wonderful movie. The by-gone economic times of the past few decades has passed and evil and conspiring men and conspired to further hurt Las Vegas, with comments aimed at bettering their own political positions.
I am not a born native of Las Vegas, but this town has brought me under its wing in a business and professional sense, and has developed who I am today. I have been exposed to the business people of Las Vegas, who are creative, inventive and make a significant difference to the world every day. These are the same small businessmen, who employ 75% of the people in the United States.
I believe in Las Vegas, because of these people and what they are doing to reinvent who we are as a people, as Las Vegas, as citizens of the United States. Perhaps we won't return to the economy of years past, but it is my belief that we will return, stronger, better and the world will be a better place to live, directly because of these people that call Las Vegas Home. Join me in this belief and let's get to work, rebuilding not what we lost, but all of the great things in the future of Las Vegas.
