Only 2 reasons to do things

There are only two reasons to perform any action in this world.  One is for yourself and the other is for God.

A poem for my Daughter

Take my hand and hold it tight I will walk with you as we pass through the night

My Life for Yours

This is a poem I wrote several years ago when my Mom died:

I came around the corner as I walked into the home You sat in your chair listening to the children sing I sat down beside you and took hold of your hand

Point/Counter-point

Why would a supreme being have any interest in us?

What are we to do

Obama will destroy the current version of America.

I know longer have any doubts.  I will not bore you with figures, conspiracy plots, links or other pundits views.  I simply believe this to be true.  I could not at first understand what he was doing.  I asked myself,"If I was Obama what more could I do to screw up America?"  My limited understanding of politics allowed me no answers.

I used to think he was doing it as an inside terrorist attack.  I don't think so now, but I do think it is his and many others goal to disestablish the current system that we enjoy in the US using a Cloward-Piven strategy .  I think he truly believes a redistribution of wealth to bring about a national salary is a good thing.

Punish the doer and reward the do-not.

Riding the Christmas high

Christmas really is a great time of year.  I have always loved the looks on the kids faces and how they get so excited.  This was a great year for excitement and thanks.  My younger kids still really get into Christmas and it was fun watching them enjoy everything this year.
