The DC Tea Party

It is time for all Americans to remind Washington that we do not like taxation without representation. Not one of our government leaders took the time to read the stimulus plan that was passed almost exclusively by Democrats. Only three cowardly Republicans joined to vote in favor of it. This massive bill will do nothing to stimulate our economy. Look at how Wall Street has reacted to this. And now Obama plans to start taxing everyone even more.

Sure Obama says he is only taxing the top 2% in our nation. But his new budget includes increased taxes for fuels, energy, communication and other items that all Americans use. He ended the Bush tax cuts which means every citizen who pays taxes will get an increase. He continues to prove that he does not care about anyone in this country and will do everything he can to socialize the country with universal healthcare and fewer freedoms. Remember his statements about working with both parties? Yet in his first meeting after his inauguration he told Republicans, "I won" meaning that he did not need to negotiate with them. If any Republican acted like this the media would be screaming foul.

Unfortunately this is what the American people voted for last November. Now with Pelosi, Reed and Obama leading the country, we are moving fast to become more liberal than the European nations. But I for one do not intend to sit by idly and allow the liberals to destroy this country. It is time to start throwing the tea overboard. Get up and join this growing grass roots movement.

Dirty Feet

“How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news.” Isaiah 52:7 (NIV) I have never been very comfortable in shoes. It really doesn’t matter whether they have great arch support, ultra extreme amounts of cushioning, or how much they cost. The first thing I do when I arrive home is take off my shoes and stretch my once imprisoned feet by bending them at the arches and wiggling my toes. I then remove my socks and begin to feel my feet relax as the fresh air washes over my tingling, sometimes sweaty, toes. Pretty picture, I know. It must be the right thing to do. A billion Chinese could not be wrong. My mother could not be wrong. After all, she was the one who always told me to, “Take off your dirty shoes before you come in here. I just finished mopping this floor and I don’t want mud tracked all over my clean house.” It became a normal ritual around our house to put the dozen or so shoes away before company was expected. My mother didn’t want dirty f...

Pampered and Pacified

Author J.M. Barrie created the character that never wanted to grow up. Peter Pan, also the title of his famous book, did not want to become an adult and be forced to deal with all of the stress and struggles that came with the transformation. So Peter found his way to Neverland where, along with his lost boys, he could remain a carefree child forever. But those who know the story also know that carefree was not all that it promised for villainous Captain Hook constantly lurked around the corners, and then there was that tantalizing Wendy who stole Peter’s heart before he even knew what hit him. Millions of Americans have seemed to follow in the footsteps of Peter Pan. We have become a nation that no longer values the virtues of adulthood: especially responsibility, strong work ethic, self-dependence, selflessness, and community awareness. You don’t have far to look in our American society before you see lost boys, and girls, running around everywhere. Grown men and women who want ...

Ephesians 5 - Our Life of Love

Image
When I have learned to love God more than my earthly dearest, I shall love my earthly dearest better than I do now.” C.S. Lewis In a Nutshell Paul encourages Christians to be imitators of God and to walk in love. Don’t fall into a life of sin, but rather stand against sin and try to expose it. Use your time wisely as you follow God’s will. Let the Holy Spirit direct and influence your behaviors. As you do this, husbands should love their wives as Christ loved the church and wives should respect and submit to their husbands. The Power of Example In his autobiography, Benjamin Franklin tells of the time he wanted to convince the citizens of Philadelphia to light the streets at night as a protection against crime and as a convenience for evening activities. Failing to convince them by his words, he decided to show his neighbors how compelling a single light could be. He bought an attractive lantern, polished the glass, and placed in on a long bracket that extended from the f...
