America

Tomorrow is a day everyone should participate in. Election's are one of the last Bastien's we have to speak our voice. Instead of complaining and or not voting, get out and vote. The voter turnout in this country is terrible at best. I don't care who you vote for, but if you do not vote you are giving up your right to speak. Every vote counts. Look at Alaska and other small states it doesn't take to many votes to insure a win. Take back America by voting your conscience, it's a start to having a say in how the Government runs. Vote out tired old incumbents that have made a fortune off your vote. They are elected to represent the people not become loaded like most incumbents have. There is no way they vote for you, only to the interests that have made them wealthy. Candidates will get nervous if incumbents are no longer the standard!

Friday Night Fire

Just a little story of friends. Our little neighborhood commune is a great place to hangout. I am fortunate enough to have wonderful neighbors who actually Love thy Neighbor. A few years back we all put in a community fire pit using the labor of our servant children. We have what we call Friday night Fire. In the fall we gather around and listen to the QND football game and enjoy adult libations. We have discussed and solved all the World's issues. It is really that easy, if the World leaders had the same access to all the brain power we put out the World would be a better place. There is nothing like the glow and warmth of a real fire to bring out your best. People look prettier and more handsome in the flicker of flames. So i suggest everyone build them a nice pit and realize the warmth of kith and kin.

The World is getting dumber!

People are so out of touch today thanks to technology. People can't spell due to spell check. Writing has gone the way of the computer and you don't have to no how the computer does it for you. Texting has brought a whole bunch of bad spellers. The people that are running for office or hold one are even dumber. One representative believed Guam would tip over if we put more troops there. " I don't care about the Constitution Phil Hare. Mayor John Spring said he didn't know what Political Crony-ism was! People need to exercise their right to vote! People that say idiotic statements like these need to go bye- bye. You know when you say something stupid around your friends you get blasted or laughed at. VOTE ALL INCUMBENTS OUT!

The U.S. Supreme Court

This is the day i have feared since the election of President Obama. Appointments to the Court. His presidency will come and go, his bills and actions can be overturned and mended, but his selections to the Court are forever. The Supreme Court was set up to make sure disputes on Law were settled for all. They were never suppose to set precedent or make law. Today with our progressive attitude, people look for the court to rewrite history and law. The Constitution stands on it's own two feet, it doesn't need to be changed. Please follow the Kagan conformation process and educate yourself on why you cannot put idealist like her on the court. It's forever!

The Journey's Beginning

For about the last month i have had the honor to assist my dear friends Paul and Heidi Morrison in taking care of Heidi's Father. Roderick P. Miller was born June 1928. He followed in his fathers footsteps in running Roderick P. Miller womans clothing store in Quincy. Rod passed on to heaven Friday night with his family beside him. This was a man i never heard complain of any pain in all the years i knew him. This is a man that already had one operation on his brain, a stomach operation on a leaking intestine that according to him never hurt. I have come to learn that Rod passed away a mere ten feet from where his father died in August 1969. You see Rod had lived in the same home since 1935. Rod and Kathy Yates Miller were married nearly 58 years that is 13 years longer than i have been alive. The point of this memo is a lesson i have learned about about the end of life. Rod got to stay at home with his family and friends. he got to see his last Masters, while we rooted hard for the old guy Fred Couples. I admired Rod, who was a rabid baseball fan, though a Cub fan. I still considered him my well to got to for retrospect on the Golden Era of baseball. We did both agree Willie Mays is the greatest of all - time. I'll miss my friend and fashion consultant, especially jealous that he is home with the Lord and i'm stuck here again to see the Cubs suffer, which i enjoy. Most of all i'm happy he got to go out like Frank Sinatra, he did it his way. I'' see you sooner or later Rod, keep a seat warm for me in the bleachers and tell my other hero Mr. Clemente his first baseman is home.

America's Awakening

For the first time in my life the majority of people believe the Government has done something unconstitutional. Thanks for finally noticing, they have been doing it from the start.In a country where people believe the constitution granted them rights, it amazes me they have not used the only rights they have always had. The right to vote has been around since the signing of the constitution except for women 1920. This country only has at best a 50 % voter turnout. That is your fault America,shame on you. The other right which i think has been the only true right you have ever had is the right to remain silent.I guess voters have used it.the other half of the world that should use it doesn't. Remember people that this your Government , take it back by exercising your right to vote. If it is suppose to be for the will of the people then vote your senator or representative out of office when you disagree with their votes. If i was you and was from a state that my two senators voted for a bill that the majority of people was against i would vote them out. In closing i remind you of what Jesus told the people "give to Caesar what is his and to God what is his." God can't be voted out Caesar can!

People I Have Admired

1. Roberto Clemente- Born on the same day as yours truly thirty years earlier. He was my favorite player as a child growing up. Though he passed on when i was 7, i still remember what a great player he was. He could do it all run,throw, hit and hit with power. It turned out that Roberto was a greater human being than player. he gave his life for other people.

2. Dale Earnhardt - Many people know Dale as the hard headed tough driver he was. I look at what he done outside the track. He was what God calls a cheerful giver. He gave money and done things as the Bible tells you to. Don't let the left hand know what the right hand is doing. One instance that came out after his death was, he saw a local school having a fundraiser to blacktop their parking lot. Dale stopped and asked what they were raising money for and the people involved told him. He said i'll pay for the whole thing on one condition, if you tell anyone i did this i'll have my workers come bulldoze in in if you do.

3. Ronald Reagan- Probably the single most important President of my lifetime. Ronnnie had a vision of America as a shinning city on a hill. America never apologized for being great. He had a pride in this country like few have today. You may not agree with everything he did or said , but you have to agree America was a proud nation under him.

4.Billy Graham- We may never have a more well rounded ambassador for God than Billy. I couldn't imagine how many people have come to Christ because they heard him speak. I was lucky enough to see him in person in Kansas City on his last crusade. I was dumbfounded not by Arrowhead Stadium being full but i would say at least 60% of the people were younger than myself. many of them in their teens. These people had probably never seen him when he was on T.V. in the 60's and 70's. It just goes to show the power of his speaking that all those people would go listen to him. I'll never forget what he said that day. " your lucky i'm old and can't speak very long or we would be here for several hours." Even in old age and illness his spirit was still willing to preach the Good News.

St. Patrick's Day

Today being the supposed day St. Patrick died is more than a day for everyone to be Irish. St. Patrick himself was not Irish he was born in England. Kidnapped by pirates and enslaved he escaped and walked through out Ireland some say 400 miles to find a boat ride home. He was believed to be only about 16 at this time. He said God spoke to him to return to Ireland and preach his word. It has been said that St. Patrick baptized 300,000 people in Ireland a country with no belief in Christ at all. The silly tale of him driving the snakes from the country is ridiculous. There has never been any snakes in Ireland. So if you choose raise a pint today to a man that truly lived Christ's mission. In a country he was not from .

Forgiveness

Tiger Woods announced today he will return to golf at The Masters. This prompted me to write today about forgiveness. I believe this is one of God's most important commandments. Though it's not one of the Ten , it is what being a Christian is really about. Jesus stated he came to earth to serve not be served. He is the one who will judge all, we are here to serve the lost and forgive them of their trespasses. We all are sinners and fall short of the glory of God. Let yesterday pass and forgive those who have done you wrong and relieve yourself of that anger. Don Henley wrote a song called The Heart of the Matter. He said i think it's about forgiveness even if you don't love me anymore. That you better let go of all that anger or it will eat you up inside. In closing remember Jesus died for your sins even before you were born, so the least you can do is follow in his footsteps.

The Prayer of St. Patrick

I bind to myself today
The strong virtue of the Invocation of the Trinity:
I believe the Trinity in the Unity
The Creator of the Universe.

I bind to myself today
The virtue of the Incarnation of Christ with His Baptism,
The virtue of His crucifixion with His burial,
The virtue of His Resurrection with His Ascension,
The virtue of His coming on the Judgement Day.

I bind to myself today
The virtue of the love of seraphim,
In the obedience of angels,
In the hope of resurrection unto reward,
In prayers of Patriarchs,
In predictions of Prophets,
In preaching of Apostles,
In faith of Confessors,
In purity of holy Virgins,
In deeds of righteous men.

I bind to myself today
The power of Heaven,
The light of the sun,
The brightness of the moon,
The splendour of fire,
The flashing of lightning,
The swiftness of wind,
The depth of sea,
The stability of earth,
The compactness of rocks.

I bind to myself today
God's Power to guide me,
God's Might to uphold me,
God's Wisdom to teach me,
God's Eye to watch over me,
God's Ear to hear me,
God's Word to give me speech,
God's Hand to guide me,
God's Way to lie before me,
God's Shield to shelter me,
God's Host to secure me,
Against the snares of demons,
Against the seductions of vices,
Against the lusts of nature,
Against everyone who meditates injury to me,
Whether far or near,
Whether few or with many.

I invoke today all these virtues
Against every hostile merciless power
Which may assail my body and my soul,
Against the incantations of false prophets,
Against the black laws of heathenism,
Against the false laws of heresy,
Against the deceits of idolatry,
Against the spells of women, and smiths, and druids,
Against every knowledge that binds the soul of man.

Christ, protect me today
Against every poison, against burning,
Against drowning, against death-wound,
That I may receive abundant reward.

Christ with me, Christ before me,
Christ behind me, Christ within me,
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ at my right, Christ at my left,
Christ in the fort,
Christ in the chariot seat,
Christ in the poop [deck],
Christ in the heart of everyone who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks to me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.

I bind to myself today
The strong virtue of an invocation of the Trinity,
I believe the Trinity in the Unity
The Creator of the Universe.
