Hope & Change

Let me get this straight, all the Wise County incumbents won the election except the quiet, conservative Christian who’s been doing her job for many years.

• You want change, but make none.
  

• You vote for who you know or who takes care of you; not always the best person for the job.
  

• You complain about how things are, but do nothing to change the situation.
  

• Although you are quick to judge someone, you don’t make morality a prerequisite for casting your vote.
  

• You exercise your right to vote, but don’t exercise your obligation to know exactly who you’re voting for and what they actually stand for.

I am guilty myself, so I cannot cast the first stone. I do know we will reap what we sew sow. If I place my faith in man, I will be disappointed. If I support immorality, impropriety, dishonesty and deceitfulness, I should expect the same in return.

We no longer ask God's guidance, we just do as we want.

I find myself asking, "How's that working for ya?"

If the shoe was on the other foot...

Let me make this perfectly clear, I believe George W. Bush was a terrible President whose 2nd term in office served to promote his place in history and public opinion. He betrayed his conservative values and supporters and bowed to political pressure in order to appease the masses. I believe he failed America when he allowed our government to steal $800 billion to fund TARP. He became "John the Baptist" preparing the way for the "Messiah".

Just because George proved to be imprudent, irresponsible and incompetent, doesn't mean the man who replaced him will do a better job. George may have started the fire, but now we have a leader pouring gasoline on it and the mob is cheering him on.

If you honestly answer the following questions, I believe you will find whether you are prejudice on the subject. We do have the right, as Americans, to be prejudice; just don't be a hypocrite and deny your bigotry. I don't!

If George Bush had been the first President to need a teleprompter installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?

If George Bush had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take Laura Bush to a play in NYC, would you have approved?

If George Bush had reduced your retirement plan's holdings of GM stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have approved?

If George Bush had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved?

If George Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia, would you have approved?

If George Bush had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current in their income taxes, would you have approved?

If George Bush had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree on Earth Day, would you have concluded he's a hypocrite?

If George Bush had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in New Orleans, would you want it made into a major ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence?

If George Bush had created the positions of 32 or more Czars who report directly to him, bypassing the House and Senate on much of what is happening in America, would you have approved.

If George Bush had proposed to double the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved?

If George Bush had spent more than all the Presidents combined since George Washington, would you have approved?

Feel free to fool others. You're even welcome to fool yourself. Just remember, many people don't suffer fools.

God's Message to Man and Woman

When I created the heavens and the earth, I spoke them into being. When I created man, I formed him and breathed life into his nostrils. But you woman, I fashioned after I breathed the breath of life into man because your nostrils are too delicate. I allowed a deep sleep to come over him so I could patiently and perfectly fashion you.

Man was put to sleep so that he could not interfere with the creativity. From one bone I fashioned you. I chose the bone that protects his heart and his lungs and supports him, as you are meant to do. Around this one bone I shaped you. I modeled you. I created you perfectly and beautifully.

Your characteristics are as the rib, strong yet delicate and fragile. You provide protection for the most delicate organ in man, his heart. His heart is the center of his being; his lungs hold the breath of life. The rib cage will allow itself to be broken before it will allow damage to the heart.

Support the man as the rib cage supports the body. You were not taken from his feet, to be under him, nor were you taken from his head, to be above him. You were taken from his side, to stand beside him and be held close to his side.

You are My perfect angel. You are My beautiful little girl. You have grown to be a splendid woman of excellence, and My eyes fill when I see the virtues in your heart. Your eyes - don't change them. Your lips - how lovely when they part in prayer. Your nose, so perfect in form, your hands so gentle in touch. I've caressed your face in your deepest sleep; I've held your heart close to mine.

Of all that lives and breathes, you are the most like Me. Adam walked with Me in the cool of the day and yet he was lonely. He could not see Me or touch Me. He could only feel Me.

So everything I wanted Adam to share and experience with Me, I fashioned in you: My holiness, My strength, My purity, My love, My protection and support. You are special because you are the extension of Me.

Man represents My image, woman My emotions. Together you represent the totality of God. So man - treat woman well. Love her, respect her, for she is fragile. In hurting her, you hurt Me. What you do to her, you do to Me. In crushing her, you only damage your own heart, the heart of your Father, and the heart of her Father.

Woman, support man. In humility, show him the power of emotion I have given you. In gentle quietness show your strength. In love, show him that you are the rib that protects his inner self.
