I especially liked the last one as you meet so many people who are just passing through this life without any ambition, original thoughts, and real hopes for the future. They seem to live for the moment without any quality. Kind of makes death a highlight of their life when God provided us with so much to enjoy and be thankful for in this world. It isn't always easy and you can make it worthwhile! : - )

Seems to apply . . .
This quote kind of reminded me of the recent health care legislation:
"All human situations have their inconveniences. We feel those of the present but neither see nor feel those of the future; and hence we often make troublesome changes without amendment, and frequently for the worse."
-- Benjamin Franklin

What happened to Democracy or is it Demo-crazy?
What a greeting to a beautiful Sunday morning . . . Headlines blaring that the House has passed the first step in health care reform by a margin of five votes! I read an article on-line by the Wall Street Journal and they were running a poll. The vote was 69% AGAINST this type of health care reform! Most of the polls over the last few weeks have run in the same direction. What is wrong with our government representatives who have decided to use the votes that got them into office to propose their own, personal agenda? And, once again, the feminazi, Pelosi lied as I don't recall we had 72 hours since yesterday to read the proposed Bill. They are in the middle of putting a huge burden on the future salaries of our next generation yet show little remorse or forethought as all these people voting this into law will not have to be under the proposed plan.
I hope everyone takes note and lets their representative and senators know that the vote they are casting now will effect the vote we cast come their reelection years.
You have to wonder what is wrong with Pelosi and any other woman in office who agrees to a bill that could include abortion paid by everyone's taxes and rationed treatment for the elderly. Don't they have any womanly feelings for preborn children? They all have children yet they advocate the outright killing of them?
We have to be vigilant in this because IF this totally passes into law, the full effect won't be felt until AFTER obama's hoped-for reelection and then POW! They plan on this lull to see that he IS reelected. To me, this seems unconstitutional to MAKE everyone have the SAME insurance.
We do have prayer on our side because I get the feeling (trying not to judge here!) that many of those who voted last night don't deal in the Godly spiritual. Prayer is still a fight we can engage in and they can't outlaw that . . . although they may try!

Blending the seasons . . . to much . . .
I know the various stores are anxious about the economy but it is always so sad to see them rush the holidays ahead of time. It takes away the anticipation.
When I was growing up (just after the dinosaurs left the earth!), Christmas items started appearing in the stores a week after Thanksgiving. We didn't have time to lose the upcoming joy because of weeks and weeks of seeing Christmas products line the shelves right next to the day after sale on Halloween goodies.
I used to mark my childhood time by the store shelves. These days, the holidays practically pile on top of each other and blur our eagerness because we have already been watching the celebration wants and necessities gathering dust for weeks now.
Nothing much one can do about the current ways of the world at large. Guess I had better line up my New Year's champagne, cut out some Valentines, and get to hiding those Easter eggs. Time's a wasting!
