Yesterday... I was getting rather frusterated at the economical and political standpoint of our country. I know, who isn't? I was just thinking about it, and the more I did the madder I got.
It all started with a commercial. Obama persuading fellow Americans to give to their local foodbanks. Which is fine... But taking into consideration that he is trying to hand out free health care, free food, etc... Who's going to have the initiave to work anymore? It's like a classroom grade. The first time the teacher hands out B's... everyone is happy. Sure, the A students are a little upset, but everyone else is fine. The competition or the incentive to get an "A" dwindle's. The students don't study quite as hard anymore. The "D" students don't see the need to study at all.... and the "C" and "B" students are expecting the "A" students to carry their weight. Eventually the teacher is handing out "D"'s to everyone.
No more more steak Americans, but don't worry, everyone will get beans. =}
Sooo,,, how exactly is this "hope" and "change" working again???
On a lighter noteee(o:
I read this today.... (:
1. Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence,
2. As [when] the melting fire burneth, the fire causeth the waters to boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, [that] the nations may tremble at thy presence!
3. When thou didst terrible things [which] we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence.
4. For since the beginning of the world [men] have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, [what] he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.
5. Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, [those that] remember thee in thy ways: behold, thou art wroth; for we have sinned: in those is continuance, and we shall be saved.
6. But we are all as an unclean [thing], and all our righteousnesses [are] as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
7. And [there is] none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities.
8. But now, O Lord, thou [art] our father; we [are] the clay, and thou our potter; and we all [are] the work of thy hand.
