All the needy causes

Wildlife, Alzheimer's , cancer and hungry people. Which is most needy? The people of course. Out of sight, out of mind in Africa you think? They are humans. And Jesus said help the poor, widows and orphans. There is a higher power and our lives are noted.

Breathing easy

Another gorgeous morning but needing rain again. It's been a little humid but manageable. The air is clean and nice here. It's a shame young people want to flock to the polluted cities.

Day of Asension

Jesus left them and was taken up into Heaven..... Well I am a Christian and I do believe in the power of Jesus. Now, not being sacrilegious, would it be a theory that if we are made in the image of our Holy father and Jesus his son, and he was "taken up" to Heaven ...would it be too far fetched to think God could be what we term an alien being watching over us? And Jesus was lifted up by a beam of some sort that people relate in "close encounters?" I don't think it would be sacrilegious to consider an alien explanation as God lived on high so would this not be plausible?

Fabulous day

Just that the weather is so great! I actually feel like a little yard work

I have an insightful friend...

He has assured me there is a Heaven, and has seen it in dreams. You know, I believe that. I suppose because of the faith I have, and the belief that Jesus said simply 'You will be in Heaven with me today'.Many have had near death experiences also and seen the light, and felt that 'no body' experience, only a conscious. Have faith, and do not be afraid....

Say a simple Hello

I was leaving the grocery store, and an elderly lady was walking in, and I simply said "Hello". She stopped , got closer and indicated she hadn't heard me. I repeated my hello and she said "thankyou, I am here because my husband is very sick and I must get alot of groceries. Thank you so much for saying hello" and on she went. It is really a Christian thing, just to say or do something nice for people. Simply to notice them.

I'm sick of Political Correctness

Yes, I'm sick of it. I'm tired of having to look around to see if anyone might be listening to me talk. I'm tired of feeling censored by my own government, that I might not be saying something against their doctrine.  This country is going down the toilet. The way I remember it growing up, is not the way it is now.

Stand up people and spit on Political correctness. Please, Take back your Right to Free Speech!

Religion and work ethic

think about this, the Bible has survived many many years, beyond any individual lifetime. Although I am Christian, I can say the same of other religions. Their writings and holy books have been the one continuing thread of mankind. We are only grains of sand in the whole of humankind. We are special but it is not "all about us". This is the ME generation. Our kids are given gold stars in school for completing the smallest of tasks. They are all reinforced that they are special and any little thing they do is great. Well that is all fine and good, but how does that prepare them for the adult real world? I don't think so.

Say a child, newly reaching adulthood, having had his own way and praised for it in school, gets his first job out of high school. His eyes fly open suddenly, you want me to do what? well, I'm only 5 minutes late, big deal. What you mean, I can't get a nose ring? After dissing his boss on Facebook, the young person recieves his pink slip from work, ie. he gets fired for being tardy, dress code violations and disrepecting his supervisor. WHAT? But in school, he got away with all this? what's going on?

Well, what's going on is that the child is not prepared with work ethic, or respect for others, particularly elders and those in supervisory positions. We used to have religion in school, we used to prepare a child with ethics. But that's not politically correct now.

I see high unemployment, but not enough people with skills needed to fill those jobs. Also, the lower end jobs, kids have been indoctrinated that they are so special those jobs are beneath them. That is why we have illegal aliens, willing to work in those jobs. Our forefathers were farmers mainly in this country. They valued education for their children, they valued religion. Now these children we have created want to be football stars and would find it distasteful and beneath them to work in a field, gathering a harvest.

So we have a generation of youth who thinks they are too good to do anything besides make big money and have lots of material things.

They need some humility and someone bigger than them in their lives. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!
