To answer the question

To answer a question that has been posed to me several times, “Are you going to run for an office?” The answer is, “Not planning on it and have no real ambitions to do such. Although, it is not beyond the scope of possibilities... if I truly felt lead or called or called upon to serve in that capacity.” I am a very private person and I am not sure that I would enjoy being in such a position wherein there is a public spotlight on me. Not that I have anything to hide, but rather I just can’t imagine being followed and spied on at every turn. I value my private alone time with my thoughts and writing. In such a position I fear that time would be lost. However the security of our freedom as a whole, is of such greater value than selfish purpose. If indeed it called for me to rise to a more active role it would be worth the sacrifice and I would humbly accept the price of my privacy and humbly answer the call.
