Howdy all! Yeah, I am still around. Just so much to do. I hope you are all doing what you can do to support the candidates that will be on your ballots, while telling those candidates you will be watching like a hawk. You know, getting into the political discussion from the comfort of your den, or wherever your computer is, is lots of fun!
Any hoo,..
Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart. ~ Colossians 4:2
They are not to do anything they please to provide for the general welfare, but only to lay taxes for that purpose. To consider the latter phrase not as describing the purpose of the first, but as giving a distinct and independent power to do any act they please which may be good for the Union, would render all the preceding and subsequent enumerations of power completely useless. It would reduce the whole instrument to a single phrase, that of instituting a Congress with power to do whatever would be for the good of the United States; and as they would be the sole judges of the good or evil, it would be also a power to do whatever evil they please...Certainly no such universal power was meant to be given them. It was intended to lace them up straightly within the enumerated powers and those without which, as means, these powers could not be carried into effect. ~ Thomas Jefferson, Opinion on a National Bank, 1791
Thomas’ words need no explanation. The only things needed are envelopes, stamps and the addresses to Bernanke, Geithner, Obama, Reid, McConnell, Pelosi and Boehner. All of these federally elected employees and the employees of our employees need to heed the words, or find new jobs.
What should we do? Follow the guidance from Colossians 4:2, then get out your vote and make it happen! Get out your neighbors to make their vote count as well! Less than 3 fortnights. Anyone taking 11/07 off?
Take care, God bless and especially at this time in history,
STAND WITH ISRAEL!!!
