    A stranger walked into my unlocked house today. I invited him to share with me some freshly baked cookies and coffee. We chatted about our mothers-in-law, our beloved pets, and mused about the Rainbow Bridge. That led us into a discussion of salvation and heaven. We prayed together, then parted, our hearts full of God's love.

    Not too sure I believe you gave us all the facts on that one, but at any rate it was your choice since it was your house. You got to set the rules.

    I was contrasting your stranger fear with my welcoming approach.

    You have completely missed the point.

    I have no stranger fear, nor do I feel compelled to make up stories.

    I have no stranger fear. If you don't, why do you lock your doors?

    In our state, a stranger who walks up to your house will knock and then wait for you to come to the door. I can then ask them in or just speak through the door. It's my choice. At night it is pretty clear that anyone just walking through the door is not on a friendly visit.

    And please don't ask me to believe that you don't lock your doors at night. Not gonna buy that one.

    "Walking through the door"? like a ghost or Jesus?

    Apparently, you haven't spent any time in a healthcare rehab or a nursing home.

    And you want to accuse me of being overly literal? Well, at least we have established that you DO lock your doors at night and that the story you presented was fictional.

    Spent two years in a nursing home ministry when in Bible college. Working now in a drug rehab ministry. Been involved in that for about fifteen years.

    Nope.

    So? Is that Biden's reasoning? "We must have open borders because, after all, there's no privacy in nursing homes." Huh?

    I have a friend in a nursing home. The door to the facility stays securely locked and I can't get in without an employee unlocking the door. Then I have to sign in, have my temp taken, and use hand sanitizer before I can go see him. When my maw in law was in a similar facility years ago, they had to unlock the door to let us in and out both.

    My mother in law died many years ago and they had locked doors then. But even at that, in this age of, "Covid and all the random shootings and mass murders," surely we should keep our southern border door locked. If we can protect nursing homes, we can certainly protect our border and our country.

    They weren't at my nursing home in 2018.

    Protect our border and our country from what? Most of the idiots, drug dealers, shooters, etc. are homegrown in the U.S.

    I can guarantee you that the front doors had controlled access of some sort and were locked at night.<br>

    Illegal drugs now pour across the border. Human trafficking pours across the border. And Kate Steinle’s family would not agree with you.
    Non-citizens accounted for 24 percent of all federal drug arrests, 25 percent of all federal property arrests, and 28 percent of all federal fraud arrests.

    In 2018, a quarter of all federal drug arrests took place in the five judicial districts along the U.S.-Mexico border.
