Howdy all! Well this week is just flying by. I can tell by the grass I watched. It’s like I turned my head around, and Poof! Lawn forest! It’s almost like that feeling I got the last time our President did something great for all Americans. And when the Vice President had that great speech where everyone understood exactly what he said. And speaking of sayings, when Pelosi stood on the House floor, turned to the Speaker and said “OK. Whatever you say is fine by me.” Wow, remember those times? Oh look, the snail is back already!
Any hoo,..
Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path. ~ Psalm 119:105
A man may, if he know not how to save, keep his nose to the grindstone, and die not wirth a groat at last. ~ Benjamin Franklin, Poor Richard's Almanack, 1742
We are less than 100 days from choosing our next government. A whole bunch of new employees at every level; federal, state and local. It seems like an eternity. But remember, it seemed like an eternity from Election Day in 2008 to the inauguration in 2009. And the eons that passed until Election Day in 2010. And it has been at least two ice ages since then. So now we must suffer another 100 days or so. Can we survive?
Actually, yes we will. We the People will survive not only these next few months, but afterwards as well. But we do have a job to do. We have responsibilities along the way. Not every effort will be successful. It’s important to work hard to replace our present federally elected employees, because let’s face it, they suck.
It is up to us to take the action prescribed in our Declaration of Independence,
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
Words of men, guided by divine light, passed down to our stewardship. It is now up to us, in these next few weeks that will pass by much faster than the snail crawling along the shoreline. Poor Richard’s quote is a warning to be frugal. We must be frugal with our ballots, our voice, our choice. Texas sent out a resounding message by asking Ted Cruz to be the Republican candidate for senate; above their incumbent LT Governor no less! That is amazing! Instituting a new government we are, just like in the Declaration. No dying not wirth a groat here!
Take care, God bless,
AND STAND WITH ISRAEL!!!
