Dare to live with the conviction that every untapped possibility hidden within the universe that can make the world a better place isn’t hidden from you it is hidden for you. Embark on a glorious quest fit for royalty to search out and find those things awaiting your discovery of them. Dare to play a major role in shifting the prevailing belief systems of negativity, misbelief, and unbelief to the dimension of faith.
In March of 2009 I prophesied that by 2020 the price of a can of soda would rise from one dollar a can then to ten dollars per can in 2020. Inflation is coming and it will be brutal. Does anyone remember dropping a dime in a coke machine and getting a bottle of coke or seven up? I do. That wasn't that long ago. Inflation is a tax and it's right now running ahead of 10% and accelerating. Argentina is where we are headed and there will be no one to bail us out.
IF you watch these things, a low volume of shipping is a bad omen.

"Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear". Ephesians 4:29
I'm not legalistic, I just think that as Christians we need to watch what we say a bit better. I have even heard it from the Pulpit. Careful saints.
I know this man from long ago. He's right on this.
On Sean Hannity’s Thursday radio show, CNBC CME Group floor reporter Rick Santelli, considered by many to be the father of the tea party movement, explained to listeners what “progressive” economics means when it comes to energy policy — high gas prices.
“Listen,” Santelli said. “I deal with economists. Progressive economists — they want $10 ...and $15 gas prices because they think they can have a windmill that will go on my ’64 Pontiac and power me downtown from the ‘burbs every day. It’s reprehensible.”
Santelli explained why energy is an important part of the vitality of the economy and a successful economy means higher energy usage.
“Our society, our culture — the greatness of America — goes hand-in-hand with energy, and our leaders need to wake up,” Santelli said. “We need energy, OK? And if they want to turn into a third-world country where there is absolutely no pollution whatsoever. And I think we need to be good to the planet, but we need to be more honest — do we want to be a superpower that uses energy and tries to do it wisely, or do we want to put our head in the sand and think that these technologies that are noble, that I have been talking about since I was in grammar school debating solar and geothermal. They’re not ready, and I think it’s just a disservice to my kids that they’re going to make energy usage such a penalty-type scenario, where we all know if you want to put GDP up, energy usage is going to go right along with it.”

It's not Dominos Pizza delivery, It's not DiGiorno, it's the Death Panel Home Delivery..coming to a country near you.....

Looks like Rush had her nailed (so to speak) from the git go. Not nice to fool with Uncle Rushie.
I know just such a case

When I say, I am a Christian...
When I say, “I am a Christian”
I’m not shouting, “I’ve been saved!”
I’m whispering, “I get lost!
That’s why I chose this way”
When I say, “I am a Christian”
I don’t speak with human pride
I’m confessing that I stumble -
needing God to be my guide
When I say, “I am a Christian”
I’m not trying to be strong
I’m professing that I’m weak
and pray for strength to carry on
When I say, “I am a Christian”
I’m not bragging of success
I’m admitting that I’ve failed
and cannot ever pay the debt
When I say, “I am a Christian”
I don’t think I know it all
I submit to my confusion
asking humbly to be taught
When I say, “I am a Christian”
I’m not claiming to be perfect
My flaws are far too visible
but God believes I’m worth it
When I say, “I am a Christian”
I still feel the sting of pain
I have my share of heartache
which is why I seek His name
When I say, “I am a Christian”
I do not wish to judge
I have no authority
I only know I’m loved
Glibness isn't Intelligence, It's just GLIB
I know many people who have significant skills and abilities who will never make it if that is the test.'
This article speaks to this truth. We do this wrong.

birth certificate a 'forgery'
“Based on all of the evidence presented and investigated, I cannot in good faith report to you that these documents are authentic,” SheriffArpaio said. “My investigators believe that the long-form birth certificate was manufactured electronically and that it did not originate in paper format as claimed by the White House.”
Questions over Mr. Obama’s birth certificate have been a political sideshow for the last four years, and have persisted despite repeated denials by the White House, and despite the release of evidence he was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on Aug. 4, 1961. That evidence included both a certificate of live birth released during the 2008 campaign and the long-form certificate last year.
Fact-check organizations have concluded the certificates are authentic, and Mr. Obama has joked about those who questioned his birth. At last year’s White House Correspondents Association Dinner, soon after releasing his long-form certificate, he mocked Donald Trump, who had said his own investigators were looking into the matter.
Now Sheriff Arpaio, who first built his national profile by creating tent cities for jail inmates and later by taking a tough stance on illegal immigration, could reignite questions among those who continue to believe Mr. Obama was born outside the U.S., and therefore is ineligible to be president under the Constitution’s provision that the officeholder be a natural-born citizen.
Demagoguery is when a portion of any population silently cheers when someone gets up and says what they are secretly feeling but are afraid to experss themselves. When someone sticks it to the man or to some ethnic group or class. We see this from the right and from the left. We saw this in Hitler. We are still seeing this. A demagogue will lead you further down toward perdition than you ever wanted to go. Be aware of them. They are all around you. Some are on Radio. Some write books. Some preach from pulpits. Some hold public office. Some are on TV. Be careful little eyes what you see, hear and read. They are everywhere. Think for yourself.

I have heard of Churches that teach Yoga. I don't know of any personally. BUT this should be a caution.
Liberals have successfully banished God from the classroom, replacing Him with the man-made god of secularism.
Yet in times of great tragedy, school leaders inevitably seek guidance and solace from the same God they’ve expelled. I’ve often wondered – if God is good enough for the bad times, shouldn’t He be good enough for the good times?

The Liberals hate Act of Valor. I am for sure going to go see it. IF they hate it, I will love it. I hear it's a tiny bit crude in language. OK. I can deal with that...I used to speak the dialect. BUT Navy Seals offing mullahs, what could be wrong with that???

When things aren’t working the way you anticipated and planned for, guard and protect your heart. Be watchful and alert. You need to be aware of the unhealthy tendency to accept unfair and misguided criticism about your objectives and your efforts. Don’t give in to the temptation to magnify the achievements of others while diminishing your own. Critics always have something to say, don’t join in agreement with them.

The word capitalism has become unusable. When most people hear the word capitalism, they think of the current system of collusion between business and government, collusion between business and the military and a financial system that privatizes profits and socializes losses. The technically correct name for the current system is mercantilism or fascism, but those words have long been forgotten. M...ost people now use the word capitalism to describe this kind of system. So when Christians try to defend capitalism, people read them as defending the current system, so they lose credibility. Putting the words pure, or biblical, ore free-market on the front does not help, because the meaning of the word capitalism has gone beyond the point of no return.

Conservative movements began looking for what they needed in a candidate rather than just looking at the available pool, who at the time, were clamoring to be chosen. Reagan was not a perfect President, but he seemed to be the perfect one for the times. Under his leadership, the nation not only emerged from its worst economic problems in half a century, but vision and hope for an even greater future were restored. It was this faith that ultimately unraveled the power of our greatest enemy—the Soviet Union. Nearly two decades of prosperity followed until the recipe for this was forgotten.

Let's see, I'll be what 90 something then? Maybe I'll take Hezekiah's position on this: Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “The word of the Lord which you have spoken is good!” For he said, “Will there not be peace and truth at least in my days?” 2 Kings 20:19. JUST KIDDING. I have Grandkids... I hope this doesn't happen...I really do.
