America in crisis

http://vimeo.com/10383066       A friend of ours posted this video on Vimeo.  Please take a look on what are nation might end up leading to.   As the great English conservative Edmund Burke said at one time: "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing"     Daniel Webster, one of are most eloquent orators, spoke with great wisdom when he said " God grants liberty only to those who love it and are always ready to guard and defend it"      Calvin Coolidge once said " The meaning of  America is not to be found in a life without toil. Freedom is not only bought with a great price;it is maintained with unremitting effort."  Sadly we as a people have forgotten about wise men who knew the price of freedom and liberty. We have not worked hard to maintain it. Some of are Nation has ,but some of Nation just sit down and eat the wellness and luxury other people have worked hard for. That is what is wrong with the Healthcare Bill. We must give willingly. We are not foolish children ,we do not need the government to tell us ,"Now child I asked you to share, but since you have not done so I will have to make you share. " I don't think that is really sharing when you have not done the thing with a willing heart.  We are not children who don't know right from wrong we know how to, so called SHARE. But then again I will not like my father to  pay for a person who is sitting  in the doctors office because he/she was told to change his/her lifestyle ,and has not listened ,but gladly soaks in the luxury someone else has provided unwillingly.   Just as Robert Owen's New Harmony socialist community and Brook Farm another socialist community, socialism is doomed to fail. One of the reasons America has come this far is because in the past Americans saw the ability to work as a blessing. They saw it as a responsibility to fill the needs of their family's and as a way to to glorify God in the process. -"So built we the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof; for the people had a mind to work" - Neh 4:6      "Righteousness exalteth a Nation: but sin is a reproach to any people."  - Prov. 14:34     "Blessed is the Nation whose God is the Lords." Ps. 33.12     Please for so long we have kept silent. Get informed, study the history of our nation, study the history of the men that failed because of their lack of trust in God, and PLEASE PRAY FOR OUR NATION ASK FOR MERCY FROM ABOVE.       

I forgot to say it was posted Abigail.

YUMMY cheese and good advice

                                       As me and my mother were making dinner, I decided I would fry the mozzarella sticks because my sister loves cheese especially mozzarella sticks. It was time for dinner and I went to go find and call my sister to come eat. I saw my sister playing in the garden. (almost garden)  When I told her dinner was ready she was very reluctant to leave her special sand tower. When I told her we were having mozzarella sticks this was the result.

                                         Jochebed got up.                                       

She ran !!!!

                                          And ran !!!!!

                                        And opened the door to the smell of freshly fried mozzarella sticks. YUM!!!

                                         Look at how cheesy they look!!!

            Jochebed just couldn't resist After we prayed for the food she plunged right in and took a bite.  My mom did have her wash her hands before we sat down to eat. (just wanted to be clear that we do try to make it rule to always have good hygiene )              In this story there is two things to learn    advice      1. When your siblings don't want to do something that your parents have designated you to tell them to do. Try to make it exciting and attractive. If you love them follow my advice. It really helps! To all of my readers that have young siblings, Talk to your parents about a situation like mine and what they would do. They probably would say this is the best thing to do. (Just in case your parents ask I have 9 almost 10 years of experience in being a older sister.)     advice 2.  Keep good hygiene.
