Bees in Trees

There is a season for everything so says God’s Word. If you reject God it does not change the order of His creation. Really the only thing that changes for us when we reject God is our reason for living. Without faith in God we just live to please ourselves and then cease to exist.

I have a hard time rejecting God most days. I see the evidence of His Word in so many places even if I had the desire to put God away and become the master of my own life something in creation I see or someone I love always makes this thought laughable.

My life is so rich and my experiences so profound because I know God and His Word. I can see the emptiness that comes from chasing self-centered desires for that momentary thrill. God is all in all. Those who reject Him are none the less sustained by Him. He holds the cosmos together for the love of us. He is the one who puts the Honey bees in the Tallow trees!

 

before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. I, even I, am Jehovah; and besides me there is no saviour. I have declared, and I have saved, and I have showed; and there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith Jehovah, and I am God. Yea, since the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who can hinder it?

(Isa 43:10-13)

Just Can’t Keep Up The Facade

Reality always returns despite speculation and manipulation. The Market today opens over 200 down and the players are disappointed not to be able to hold the magic 10,000.

The good economic news is a fabrication and whatever short lived physiological effects it has always quickly falters and give way to these erratic swings. We would be better served as a nation to deal in the now and honestly assess where we are financially. Truth is the government and it’s sympathetic media are uneasy about the consequences of revealing the true nature of our financial state to a free loading public soon to have their entitlement drastically reduced.

The governments top priority is to feed and sustain itself no matter the cost. While most suffer loss the government grows and grows. While we begin to have less resources the government continues tax and spend. It cannot continue.

Floating in the Big Boat

Could This Be It?

It’s Friday and 30 minutes  until the markets open. Yesterday the market took a very slow and thoughtful 376 point drop and is down over 900 for the month. Has the economy finally reached the stage that prevents all of our speculators and manipulators from keeping up the facade.

It will be exciting to see what today will bring. When the system finally does seize we must be willing to suffer great hardships. To compromise or principles for a crust of bread would mean  total enslavement to a socialist totalitarian regime.

It All Started In The Year 1927

A baby girl is born into the world and begins the journey through time and space to fulfill her destiny. On Saturday May 1, 2010 she is headed North on Dale Mabry when she turns right on a red light into Britton Plaza on her way to Big Lots. She does not let the silver Scion Xb stand in her way and before you know it the bumper of her Ford van is grinding along the side of the GOBOX.

GOBOX dentGOBOX dentGOBOX dent After several days her insurance company State Farm calls us up and gives us the ok to pick a body shop and have repairs made. State Fram is paying for everything including a rental car! I visit a couple and realize there is really no way to know who will do the best job. I settle for Eur-Am auto body close to our home.

We shall see how this drama ends within a couple of weeks I hope.

GOBOX dent

I will report the results when we get the GOBOX back.

Best Show Currently on Television

This show has me hooked! It is unusually wise and always delivers some universal truth in a truly poignant way! You might want to sit down in front of your television this Tuesday at 8:00 and tune in “Larkrise to Candleford” on local station WUSF channel 16.

You can catch up at this channel on youtube while it lasts.

The Media Belongs To The Cons

We have all been witness to the death of true journalism in the main stream media. K-Strass the Yo Yo master has delivered the preverbal death blow to WSAW sunrise 7 with this masterful performance recently!

the original video has been pulled by the station which does not seem to have a sense of humor despite the perky personas of their on air personalities.  Here he is on another news outlet working his magic!

 

Here is WSAW’s attempt to get the station back on course to who knows where by finding a true yo yo master. Zammy appears to be  a young Goth they have brought out of the shadows to resurrect their reputation as a credible news organization. He is certainly much more disturbing than Kenny Strasser even with his genuine skills with a yo yo. I give you Zammy!

Free Feline

If you can provide a good home for this cat it’s yours.

web8

This cat naps almost as much as I do but in many more places around the house than I would fit comfortably. She has fleas and sheds hair every where her little paws carry her. If she takes a liking to you she might sit with you every once in a while and let you pet her. If you are a man you can pretty much forget it.

We call her Felina but feel free to rename her whatever you like. If she need to be done away with at any time you will not get any fus from us so long as you make it quick and painless.

The Plunge Is On!

 

It appears that the blinders are off and nobody likes what they are seeing. The Dow is on a free fall despite Obama’s economic recovery!

This could be one of the fastest sell offs ever and we still have 2 hours to go before the market closes! What a ride!!!!

Freddie Mac Needs More Money

10 Billion ,and where are they trying to get it….. from the taxpayer.

freddie-mac

Here are a few screen shots there web site from today and they have so much to say about all the good they are doing.

freddie-mac-3

Look at all they have accomplish in the first quarter of 2010! Now it is time to actually pay for all this wonderful work they are doing on our behalf. They have not helped you? To bad fork over the money this is not about you it is about getting people into homes who cannot afford to own homes.

Here is more help if you would really like a home without paying for it!

freddie-mac-2

The President is making homes more affordable for anyone who does not have the means to own one or anyone who has already taken the government up on their offers and now finds themselves with the rug pulled out from under them. How can the president help? He can tax working people out of the money they earn to live their lives and slowly and painfully spoon feed  it to you after you relinquish any freedom you once had to prosper for yourself.

10 billion is this month request but you can be sure the requests will just keep on coming.

When Times are Dark

Bees under a porch light

When times are dark not everything that glimmers is leading you home. A light bulb is only a dim and fragile substitute for the sun.

Bees under a porch light

If we are not willing to go without comforts and wait on the Lord for what He desires us to have we can easily be diverted from our path and find ourselves lost.

Bees under a porch light

Bees apart from the hive are lost and if they do not find their way back they quickly perish.

The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident. One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple. For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock. And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD. Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
(Psa 27:1-7)
