Are you waiting for the Tsunami?

Small business owner and co-founder of Home Depot talks on CNBC Squawk Box about government imposition of new laws and regulation on the small business owner. He paints a picture filled with truth and stark reality. We can no longer stand back and turn a blind eye to what is happening in our country and our government. People are losing jobs each and every day, businesses that should not fail are being closed because of current or coming tax regulations which puts people out of work. This is not about Left isle or Right isle politics, this is about gaining our country back. Listen to this man and what he has to say. The reason and purpose is to wake up more Americans to the reality that our government has gone a muck and needs to be pulled back. We cannot stand on the shore waiting for the tsunami to wash over us, this is about our families and our future and theirs. Please look at this and pass it along to as many as you can. We must become vigilant at the ballot box. We must become educated as to the things that drive this country, we must not sit out another election, another opportunity to change the course of this country. This is our future and to those who would stay at home and check the H.B.O schedule and turn a blind eye, we cannot reach them, they have decided to ride the backs of those who make decisions for them. To me that is the most pitiful and apathetic way to live life. We are never promised a life of leisure and we are not promised a life of bliss. What we do have is an opportunity to pursue...pursue joy and happiness. We are given an opportunity, that is a gift, to shape our way of life, to shape our government, to shape the way of life our children will have. This is a gift that should not be wasted.

Lou.

May you have a Jesus filled day

I'm reminded it's not about me

This morning I looked at a reflection: http://www.myutmost.org/06/0620.html
The scripture and the reflection brought to my mind that it's not all about me. Sort of takes the wind out of my sails to acknowledge that. My ego does like to be pumped up on the idea that I am the total focus and attention of my heavenly Father but today I see differently. Today I am reminded and well that I was that it isn't all about me. Job went through much trail and loss and as Oswald Chambers illustrates things turned when Job began praying for his friends. That would be very hard for me because I tend to focus on the problem and stay wanting to find a solution. I do become exhausted at times and when that happens I put down my fists (spiritually speaking) and I tell the Lord I am done, I give up and I don't really care what happens from there on.

Today I will try to keep my focus more on what I believe is important in God's eyes. To think more about others around me versus only me. To remember that if I'm in hard times then so are so many others. That I am blessed that my God wants a relationship with me and that I enjoy that relationship because Jesus made a way, he became the atonement for my sin. I will do my best today to remember to pray for others that they too would accept the atonement Jesus paid so that all of us will have a relationship with God our Father.

Happy Father's Day God, Happy Father's Day Jesus, Happy Father's Day Holy Spirit, amen.

I don't believe any of them

My rant on the Gulf of Mexico - our president & BP: We the people are being taken for a ride by both sides of this play act. BP gave Obama one of his biggest campaign contributions during the election & now he wants to put them out of business? Yea...Right! BP does not want help from anyone who offers biodegradable and environmentally friendly methods to clean up the oil and keep all volunteers away, only BP employees for clean-up. The government is acting the same way. Did anyone view Huckaby on Fox News last night? People with clean-up technology that is years old for cleaning spills but BP and the government will have no part of it. BP watches from a mile above the ocean floor and only sees the oil cloud grow larger by the day. Obama goes golfing, has a snow cone and speaks about how two faced and forked tongue large corporation C.E.Os can be (something about a pot and a kettle comes to mind). This whole mess is starting to look like neither side wants to clean up the mess and both sides intend to clean up at the bank.

Don't forget that every heavy weight contributor to Obama's campaign from ACORN to SEIU to the United Auto Workers Union has been on his payback list and we have seen him pay them back with our money, I believe this whole debacle will in months to come turn clear and we will see how these people sought to ruin our planet, economy, our patriotic spirit and willingness to fight back.

Obama and crew are quickly overwhelming this country and its ability to respond to natural disasters what will be next...terrorist attacks? How about financial speed bumps where they make a bank holiday and close down the banks ( in fear that the public will withdraw too much money). I do not believe BP blew up their rig but I do believe Rahm Emanuel who said a good crisis should never be left to go to waste. It is an opportunity to do things you couldn't normally do. Watch both hands people, watch what both hands are doing, they talk fast and prey on our patriotism, our love of God and love of nature. They are opportunistic vultures only thinking of what and how they can gain for themselves while everyone else attempts to tread water.
