10 things to learn from Japan – SKYNEWS reported this few days back.

1. THE CALM: Not a single visual of chest-beating or wild grief. Sorrow itself has been elevated.

2. THE DIGNITY: Disciplined queues for water and groceries. Not a rough word or a crude gesture. Their patience is admirable and praiseworthy.

3. THE ABILITY: The incredible architects, for instance. Buildings swayed but didn’t fall.

4. THE GRACE (Selflessness): People bought only what they needed for the present, so everybody could get something.

5. THE ORDER: No looting in shops. No honking and no overtaking on the roads. Just understanding.

6. THE SACRIFICE: Fifty workers stayed back to pump sea water in the N-reactors. How will they ever be repaid?

7. THE TENDERNESS: Restaurants cut prices. An unguarded ATM is left alone. The strong cared for the weak.

8. THE TRAINING: The old and the children, everyone knew exactly what to do. And they did just that.

9. THE MEDIA: They showed magnificent restraint in the bulletins. No silly reporters. Only calm reportage. Most of all – NO POLITICIANS TRYING TO GET CHEAP MILEAGE. (politicians from other countries- are you listening?)

10. THE CONSCIENCE: When the power went off in a store, people put things back on the shelves and left quietly.

With their country in the midst of a colossal disaster - The Japanese citizens can teach plenty of lessons to the world.

These charts show why we may not make it as a nation. We are insolvent and have no way to get out of it. http://tinyurl.com/6fj8kfy Economics is dismal, but it's the only way to really understand the situation.

From David Smith

• • This country reminds me of the story of "The Pig & the Oak Tree" - A pig was rooting up the ground around its favorite oak tree, looking for acorns. An owl, noting the torn up ground, exposed roots, and damage to the area, told the pig tha...t if it continued doing that, the oak tree would die. The pig ignored the owl & just muttered, "So what? As long as there is acorns, who cares?" Our federal government, our corporate leadership, & many of our citizens are slowly KILLING this great nation because they choose not to see what they are doing.

It's nearer than it appears in your mirror

The combination of rising gasoline prices and the steepest increase in the cost of food in a generation is threatening to push the US economy into a recession, according to Craig Johnson, president of Customer Growth Partners.

Gas station in San Francisco.

Johnson looks at the percentage of income consumers are spending on gasoline and food as a way of gauging how consumers will fare when energy prices spike.

With gas prices now standing at about $3.90 a gallon, energy costs have now passed 6 percent of spending—a level that Johnson says is a "tipping point" for consumers.

"Energy is not quite as essential as food and water, but is a necessity in today's economy, and when gasoline costs more than bottled water—like now—then it takes a huge bite out of disposable spending," he said, in a research note.

Of the six US recessions since 1970, all but the "9-11 year 2001 recession" have been linked to—of not triggered by—energy prices that crossed the 6 percent of personal consumption expenditures, he said. (During the shallow 2001 recession, energy prices had risen to about 5 percent of spending, which is higher than the long-term 4 percent share.)

What may make matters worse this time around, is there has been a steep increase in food prices that occurred as well. In other recent recessions food costs were benign, at between 7.5 percent and 7.8 percent of spending.

This year food prices have climbed 6.5 percent since the beginning of early January, according to Consumer Growth Partners.

"The combined increase in the necessities of food and energy creates a harsh double whammy for already stressed consumers," Johnson said. The last time this happened was in the recession that lasted from 1973 to 1975.

Johnson estimates that food and energy eat up about 15 percent of consumer spending at today's prices, compared with about 12.7 percent two years ago.

Of course, at lower income levels, these percentages are much higher. One sign of the stress some consumers are already feeling is that some AAA offices have already seen an increase in out-of-gas service calls, as motorists try to put off filling their tanks or drive around trying to seek out the gas station with the least expensive price.

Also some regions are being hit harder than others. Gas prices in Hawaii continue to set new highs, according to AAA data. The average price on Wednesday was $4.51, topping the prior record of $4.50 for a gallon of regular unleaded set in July 2008.

If it matters to you, it matters to him.

This was a truth that changed my life thirty years ago. He likes me, He doesn't just love me. AND what is important to me is important to Him. When my dog Skip died and I wept...it mattered. When my first grandchild was born...it mattered.

Last Night in Church, Pastor Phil taught that in the book of John 3 chapters are dedicated to the last supper (events on Maundy Thursday), 1 chapter on the events of Good Friday and less than a chapter on the events of the resurrection. There must have been some important things said in those chapters regarding the last supper....maybe it's time to take another look at what HE mandated (Maundy).

Jesus did not wash the disciple's feet for fleshly sanitation, if so he would have done it BEFORE the Seder Meal. "He got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist". John 13:4. He did it in the Seder as a leader washing not himself, but those around him, washing them..we must do the same with whom we live. Judas who betrayed him was washed by Jesus with the others.

Our Hope must be built on Nothing Less than Jesus and his Righteousness and only then will our hearts will change. This is a spiritual crisis. Things are BAD...but too many people put hope in change and found all of it to be hopeless. When I take my eyes off the real source of hope, I become pessimistic too.

SATAN

.

Dear Fool,

I saw you yesterday as you began your daily chores. I loved it that you awoke and would never dream of praying. Good job! God's watching you too, but do not thank God for any of the beauty of creation around you, I was beautiful too once, should have been above Him... I love that you wouldn’t think to thank God for your meals, sometimes you chug down your meals with enough drinks to make you drunk. Love what thoughts are in your mind then, sometimes I love to torture you with them. Sometimes I decide to let you think it’s good and fun so you won’t stop doing it. Sometimes I laugh when your car veers at someone, hoping you'll kill them. No thought of praying to God before bed as you stumble into it and pass out. You are so unthankful. I like that about you!

I cannot tell you how glad I am that you have not changed your way of living. Fool, you are mine even though you don’t know it. Lol! You think it’s all your own intelligence, and I’m fine with that, as long as I can see you destroyed in the end... You and I have been together for years, but I will never love you. As a matter of fact, I hate you, because I hate God. You disgust me, I am only using you to get even with God.

He kicked me out of heaven and I'm going to use you as long as possible to pay Him back. You see, Fool, GOD LOVES YOU and HE has great plans in store for you. But you have yielded your life to me and I'm going to make your life a living hell. That way we'll be together twice. Still makes me laugh, you think you are living your life and you think you are good by most standards. Good for you! Keep it up! You don’t need God! I can hardly wait for later when you fall down weeping and cursing, and wailing and crying like a baby… You love scary movies, well you're going to be living one out forever, the worst terror you could imagine, fear, pain, murder, no light, fire, forever! You are mine fool! I'm really showing Him who's boss in your life, your sin and rejection really grieves Him, my favorite reaction! Look at all of the good times we've had... Dirty movies, cursing, partying, a little stealing (what’s it gonna hurt if you take a few pens from work?). Loved it when you lied with such a straight face to your boss, he had no idea! Staring at that girl with the low top at work, lusting after her, she deserved it, your wife will never know. What harm is there in a look, even if that meek little Bible thumper told you the Bible said you had committed adultery already. Give me a break! Share a little gossip, some dirty jokes, everyone loves those. Stupid old people and annoying bosses, don’t show them any respect! You keep doing what you’re doing, you’re a big boy, you don’t need some churchy types telling you what to do. Hypocrites is all they are anyways. Especially that soft-spoken one that every now and then makes you feel guilty. Avoid them like the plague. Bible thumpers! Looking directly into your eyes as if they can read your thoughts. TURN AWAY! Go talk to someone that has some intelligence like your College Professor. He knows a lot more than these superstitious hicks.

You don't want to give all of this up. Even if what they said was true, some of their own preachers say that there is no hell. Look at the ones on t.v. and laugh. Never mind that many of them belong to me-keeps a lot of them from the truth. Some of them I make foolish enough to turn you off, and the others, well, I make them look just like you so you feel comfortable. He he... either way, you'll be turned off by Christianity, and once again! thanks to me! You have been kept my slave... Fool, I’ve got to burn, so I’m taking you down with me. This is just a letter of appreciation from me to you. I'd like to say "THANKS" for letting me use you for most of your foolish life, and helping me take some others to hell with you.

You are so gullible, I laugh at you. When you sin, you have no idea you’re doing wrong, that you are sinning against God. HA, HA, HA! You make me sick. Sin is beginning to take its toll on your life. You look 20 yrs. older. I need new blood, so go ahead and teach some children how to sin will you? Plenty of things you can do in front of them, but if I could teach you one important thing, be prideful! (remember that's why God kicked me out of heaven). Do all of your sins in the presence of children, don’t hold back! They will do it, too. Kids are like that. Again, ignore the one who chastises you for saying OMG or any other curse word, what a prude!

Well, Fool, I have to let you go for now. I'll be back in a couple of seconds to tempt you again and I know you won’t disappoint me. I love watching you dance to my tune like a puppet on a string, hahaha, you think you are so smart, you’re busy proving yourself on FB right now to some self-righteous, religious person quoting Bible verses at you. I’m glad you’re just smart enough to be wise in your own eyes and I'm keeping you busy with the arguments. Otherwise, you might see or hear something that would get to you, you might run to Jesus, confess your sins, let Him wash you clean. But, it's not my nature to warn anyone. Seeing you at your age and still rejecting God, it warms my heart… if I had one, roflol!

So fool, don't get me wrong, I still hate you... but I am continuing my own desires to keep you from becoming a fool for Christ…. You’re my fool!

Still Hate you,

Your partner in crime,

SATAN

Obama must have flunked American History

From POWERLINE

Yesterday he was at it again, in his peevish interview with the feisty local broadcast reporter from Texas. Why are you so unpopular in Texas? the reporter asked. Obama being Obama, he was unable to laugh off the question and say he'd do better next time around. Obama responded: "Texas has always been a pretty Republican state, for, you know, historic reasons."

Has the guy ever heard of LBJ? You know, the fellow who first brought us socialized medicine? Has he ever read a single volume of Robert Caro's monumental biography of LBJ? It's hard to miss the extent to which the Democratic Party dominated Texas politics for the duration of LBJ's (long) political career.

Obama majored in political science at Columbia. Did he miss the fact that Texas was part of the solidly Democratic South -- the slaveholding, segregated, Jim Crow South -- more or less from statehood in 1845 until Nixon's 1972 landslide?

Did Obama skip class the day he might have learned that in the the postbellum South, including Texas, the Republican Party was virtually nonexistent? Apparently so. Or maybe he was just deploying his skills as a bs artist to deflect a question that could not be reconciled with his self-worship.

Read the whole thing.

How to Catch a Wild Hog

There was a chemistry professor in a large college that had some exchange students in the class. One day while the class was in the lab, the Prof noticed one young man, an exchange student, who kept rubbing his back and stretching as if his back hurt.... The professor asked the young man what was the matter. The student told him he had a bullet lodged in his back. He had been shot while fighting communists in his native country who were trying to overthrow his country's government and install a new communist regime.

In the midst of his story, he looked at the professor and asked a strange question. He asked: "Do you know how to catch wild pigs?" The professor thought it was a joke and asked for the punch line. The young man said that it was no joke.

"You catch wild pigs by finding a suitable place in the woods and putting corn on the ground. The pigs find it and begin to come every day to eat the free corn. When they are used to coming every day, you put a fence down one side of the place where they are used to coming. When they get used to the fence, they begin to eat the corn again and you put up another side of the fence. They get used to that and start to eat again. You continue until you have all four sides of the fence up with a gate in the last side. The pigs, which are used to the free corn, start to come through the gate to eat that free corn again. You then slam the gate on them and catch the whole herd.

Suddenly the wild pigs have lost their freedom. They run around and around inside the fence, but they are caught. Soon they go back to eating the free corn . They are so used to it that they have forgotten how to forage in the woods for themselves, so they accept their captivity."

The young man then told the professor that is exactly what he sees happening in America . The government keeps pushing us toward Communism/Socialism and keeps spreading the free corn out in the form of programs such as supplemental income, tax credit for unearned income, tax exemptions, tobacco subsidies, dairy subsidies, payments not to plant crops (CRP), welfare, medicine, drugs, etc. while we continually lose our freedoms, just a little at a time.

One should always remember two truths: 1) There is no such thing as a free lunch; someone is paying for it. 2) And when you begin to think that having your government provide for you and make your decisions is ok, realize that you’ve also given up the freedom that goes with making your own choices. If you see that all of this wonderful government 'help' is a problem confronting the future of democracy in America , you might want to send this on to your friends.

The Myth of Debt-Free Living by Gary North

Here are two great myths of the American dream: (1) financial independence; (2) debt-free living.

Why are they myths? Because life involves both.

Finances require money. Money involves the division of labor. We are all interdependent. Even a hermit is dependent on others: the owners of the land he secretly lives on and secretly poaches on.

People say "financial independence" when they really mean "no dependence on a salary." They can achieve this if they own lots of income-generating assets. They do not have to show up at a job. But they are not financially independent. They are dependent on all those people whose productivity enables companies or governments to keep paying on the assets that the job-free people have invested in. This is not financial independence. It is independence from a salaried job. Let's keep our terminology clear.

Mr. Obama: Taxing the rich won't increase revenues | Michael Barone | Politics | Washington Examiner

Did Barack Obama take Tax 1 in law school? I did, and I remember the first day of classes, when mild-mannered professor Boris Bittker asked a simple question, "What is income?"

I was pretty confident I could come up with a quick answer and so were a lot of other students. By the end of the hour, after professor Bittker had politely punched huge holes in every student's definition, it was pretty clear that none of us could. Income is a slippery concept, especially slippery when you're trying to tax it.

Which leads me to think that Obama may have avoided Tax 1. Or perhaps he dozed off in class. For in his April 13 speech at George Washington University, the speech to which Standard & Poor's responded by reducing the government's credit rating to "negative," he seemed to think he could get all the money we need to balance the budget from higher taxes on the rich.

My Perspective on the Budget Fight, Arnold Kling | EconLog | Library of Economics and Liberty

Down the road, someone is going to get the shaft. It could be my neighbor, it could be me, or it could be both of us. That is, people who are relying on the unfunded systems--public sector pensions, Social Security, and Medicare--might find their benefits cut. Or people who are relying on personal savings could wind up having those savings taxed away in order to address the shortfalls in the public systems. Or all of us could have our savings eroded by inflation, from which we may not be able to protect ourselves.

Have a nice day.

Funny Stuff if you are a gun guy

There was only one quiet time in two days. It was when I told Tim and Pat I have never fired a Glock. You should have seen the look on their faces. I thought they were going to take my man-card right then and there. Then I asked a friend of mine, Lara Connor who happens to be a former US Navy Rear Admiral and is now a Generalmajoren in the Swedish Air Force Special Forces and she replied "Glock 18 - select-fire model. Early version with extended barrel and integral compensator and a fire mode selector switch on the slide."

Who's On First?

by Thurmond Duke

I'm going to keep this real short so you can read it quickly. Lately the Lord has had me "chewing the cud" over the verse "my sheep know my voice..." Like all the scriptures, this one is like a finely cut jewel. It has many facets, and all of them are real and true. Because we look at one facet more than others does not make the others any less true.

I've been thinking of that as I watch a lot of posts. These are very uncertain times, times of change, times of import, times which lead us to ask "are these the beginning of 'the day of the Lord?' " As I have said before, these times remind me greatly of the late 60's and the 70's. We were at a fever pitch then, too. We were at the height of the cold war, there were earthquakes, volcanoes, famines, and wars galore. And yeah, it was amazing how many people's names you could make equal 666.

Then today I was watching a clip from a teacher who has a great deal of knowledge ref Biblical eschatology. His thing was reinterpreting the number 666. "What if," he asked, "if this wasn't a sum but a symbol"..." and he went on to show how it could resemble Muslim symbols. As I watched it, it struck me how close his method was to that used by the UFO shows in History Channel. All questions and what ifs. This isn't to disparage the guy, I happen to like him.

But something kept giving mean itch and I kept asking the Lord what it was. What He gave me was this: note the verse in Rev 13:6. I checked it out and then looked at the Greek. The word for count is a technical term for computation, literally using pebbles to do some cipherin'. The word for number is an arithmetical term. The verse definitely does not reference symbolism but a definite counting process. Neither the Hebrews or the Greeks used the Arabic numbers we use. The used a system whereby certain letters could have numeric values. The Roman numeral system you are familiar with. It was a little funny - the teacher's researchers must have been real young - they didn't check their work...the letter with a value of six was sigma, not stigma. Interesting theories do not always good theologies make. There is a reason why some of us insist that theology should be done carefully.

The other thing the Lord impressed upon me was the verse "My sheep know my voice." In uncertain times we look for answers. We look to the scriptures to guide us. This is as it should be; however, many miss the point that there are some things the Lord has reserved to Himself. We are given some big major clues, but then there are a lot of little details that are open to interpretation. We should be very careful in trying to nail down some things that are very elusive in meaning. That being said, we should also be very aware of how much attention we are paying to the end time events and the players involved versus how much time we are paying attention to Jesus. Jesus should be the focus of our attention, nothing else.

Jesus said my sheep know my voice. Our focus should be on our relationship with Jesus and knowing Him and knowing His voice. If we know Jesus, and if we know His voice, than any impostor will have a hard time fooling us. If we know His voice, then a false voice will be apparent.

I share this in this way because I know from experience trying to figure out the what's and when's and why's and wherefore's will in the end drive you frantic. You end up with a lot of knowledge which yields a certain measure of edification, but there is an accompanying danger of getting "puffed up," or as we would say, getting off on a personal spiritual ego trip. Conversely, focusing on Jesus yields life and peace. Where would you rather be?

Finally, remember that the Antichrist and his prophet ARE GOING TO BE VERY VERY GOOD. Their deception is going Io be on a level we have not encountered before. Jesus warned that there was a real possibility that "the very elect" could be deceived. So just naming names will not cut it. Remember, the Jewish experts in the scriptures were good. They knew exactly where the Messiah was to be born, but missed entirely His birth. In the same manner, scripture knowledge may yield us some great clues and insights, but we could still miss their import. In the long run, we will be much better served by concentrating our efforts on knowing Jesus and His voice. It is much better insurance against deception.

Be blessed, everyone.

George Soros is EVIL..Now he wants you to starve

I'm not surprised. This is a man who turned in his neigbors to the NAZIS without remorse. He's an antichrist.

Now he want's to control food:

Financier and progressive activist George Soros is formulating a move to control food and grain production by purchasing grain elevators in late March in several parts of the United States through his Soros Managment Fund's backed Gavilon Grain. With purchases made in March, Gavilon Grain will become the third largest grain company behind Cargill, and Archer-Daniels Midland.
With strong ties to the Obama administration, Soros now has both the economic, and political clout to begin consolidation of purchasing and shipping domestic agriculture around the world.
U.S. grain firm Gavilon Grain said on Thursday it will buy Union Elevator and Warehouse's 16 grain elevators in the Pacific Northwest , the company's second big purchase of U.S. grain facilities in the last six months.

We have a family that is spending $38,200 per year. The family’s income is $21,700 per year. The family adds $16,500 in credit card debt every year in order to pay its bills. After a long and difficult debate among family members, keeping in mind that it was not going to be possible to borrow $16,500 every year forever, the parents and children agreed that a $380/year premium cable subscription could be terminated. So now the family will have to borrow only $16,120 per year.

To this useful analogy I would add one additional data point: The family’s credit card debt is currently $142,786. If they were to spend every penny that made each year toward their credit cards it would take 6 and half years to pay off their debt.

She's BAAAACK

I'm NOT going to take the Palin Stickers off the back of my Pickup. Not after today.

Sarah Palin speaking in the rain at a Tea Party Rally....

“What we need is for you to stand up, GOP, and fight. GOP leaders need to learn how to fight like a girl.”

“"We didn’t elect you just to rearrange the deck chairs on a sinking Titanic," she said, referring to GOP lawmakers.

"I’m in Madison because this is where real courage and real solidarity can be found,” she said in praising Gov. Scott Walker's law curbing union power.

“When the history of the Tea Party is written, what you accomplished here will not be forgotten. And the 2012 election begins here."

"You ignored us in 2010,” she said of President Obama. “But you cannot ignore us in 2012."

The brownshirts were out in force...but Palin Prevailed.

"AND THE WINNER GETS. . . ."

The winner of the 2012 election will get to oversee a Federal deficit of something in the range of $1.5 trillion per year. Maybe it will be less, but not much less. Maybe it will be more. But the round number of $1.5 trillion would have been inconceivable as recently as 2007.

Here is an unsustainable situation. The ability of the United States government to sell its debt at anywhere from six one-hundredths of a percent (90-day T-bills) to under 3.5% (10-year T-bonds) is chronologically limited. It can do this today. No one thinks it can do this for half a decade – not with the balance of payments deficit at $500 billion a year and the on-budget, admitted deficit of $1.65 trillion for fiscal 2011.

There are two American wars in progress. One is in Afghanistan, with no end in sight. The other is in Iraq, where there are 47,000 uniformed troops plus 100,000 mercenaries of various kinds. Secretary of Defense Gates recently said that there is no timetable for withdrawal, which President Obama said in 2009 would take place by December 31, 2011, a fact that the dutiful mainstream media have dropped down the memory hole.

Secretary Gates said that withdrawal will take place when the Iraqi government asks us to leave. That means the twelfth of never.

The winner of the 2012 election will get to take the heat for the economy of 2013-16. All those who are associated with the victor's politics will get to be the targets of electoral blowback in 2016.
