Let’s work together to make it happen!

Presidential Election
John McCain is getting pummeled for his choice in choosing Sarah Palin as his VP Running Mate.  The Saturday Night Live Skits are not helping much in this matter.  But on the other hand, the skits are very entertaining.  (Kudos to Sarah for being such a good sport.) 

However, it seems to me in these political matters that the general public has not made up their mind yet in regards to whom they would like to see run the United States for the next four years.  One week the media is hating John McCain, the following week they hate Barak Obama.    It’s difficult to know whom to trust with our vote.  Unless of course you review the facts.  Which brings me to the next question? 

How well do American’s know their own history?  Believe me, if you vote for someone who promises change and cannot produce change the next step of our political process will find you storming the white house.  But guess what, it will be too late then.  All the hard work, all the blood shed to create our democracy will have been wasted.   

Let’s work together at this election and vote for someone with real experience.  I want to insure our country an even better future and see it recover from this economic crisis.  I want to see this country establish itself with a progressive educational system.  I want to see real change too.   Most of all I want to see this country be the true leader we’re called to be and see us make some positive changes in the world today and in the future.

“We were conceived to love spirituality, and love is the center of our beings.  It is the energy of our souls, the spark of our divine nature.  Being made of love, we cleave to it and seek it in all that we do.  When we do not have it, or when we have lost it, we grieve.  Its presence of absence color our every action.  It is life It is happiness.  It is salvation itself.”  The Ripple Effect, page 145 by Betty J. Eadie.

That’s One Bell You Can’t Unring!
The liberal newspapers are reporting that the distance between McCain and Obama is widening.  However, all the polls left a certain amount of ambiguity.  At some point Americans are going to realize that this is one bell you can’t unring.  I understand, the unwillingness to want to trust a republican in office again.  This republican is different.  Use your logic, look at the amount of experience McCain offers. When you review Obama’s experience, you’ll see it is very limited. 

Obama doesn’t have a leg to stand on regarding experience.  He’s a junior Senator.  Who reacts slowly when there are issues that need addressing.  No time during the time Obama was sworn in the Senate did he lead a special interest group.  The groups he did belong to, never met.  Here’s a quote from William M. Briggs a statistician who references the amount of time each Candidate spent in the Senate.

” Barack Obama served 143 days in the senate and no days in the military before he began his run for president.   John McCain served 26 years in the senate and 22 years in the military before he began his campaign. ”  Quoted from William M. Briggs, Statistician All manner of statistical analysis cheerfully undertaken.”

I Am There ~ by Hanoochi (http://www.hanoochi.com/)

 

I am the breeze that kisses your cheek.
I am the sun that warms your face.When you look at the purple evening sky, it is me.
When you see a majestic mountain, it is me.

 

When the birds sweetly sing, it is my voice.
When the water gently laps against the shore, it is my heartbeat.

I am the green grass against your feet.
I am the refreshing shade of summer.

In the stars, you see my eyes.
In the blue sky, you see my body.

 

Feel the air that surrounds you, I am there.
Feel the love in your heart, I am there.

The Casey & Caylee Anthony case has all the makings of an old fashion Murder Trial.  The public is blood-thirsty for news about the case.  What makes this case most interesting is the Mother who never reported her daughter missing.  Those of us that are mothers, know this is not normal.  In fact, it’s what nightmare’s are made of, when your child goes missing.  Caylee’s grandmother finally report the missing three (3) year old. 

When I lay me down to die
People want to know what happened to the missing toddler?  We may never really know what happened to little Caylee.  Just like the Lindbergh kidnapping in 1932.  More questions than answers. 

Goin’ up to the spirit in the sky
McCain Won Third Presidential Debate
McCain out did him self in the third Presidential debate.   While Senator Obama did everything he could to woe the audience with his so-called “charismatic” charm.  Senator McCain, stood his ground and defended his plan for the future of the United States.  

Goin’ up to the spirit in the sky
It’s unfortunate the Obama has the twenty-something vote.  Apparently the twenty-somethings, don’t value experience.  Which is perfectly understandable if you’re someone who possesses no experience.  Why would you believe this is a vital and necessary requirement for someone who is going to run for the President of the United States. 

That’s where I’m gonna go when I die
What’s more the experience and age difference between both Presidential Candidates only became apparent when Senator Obama was speaking to his lack of experience having only served in the senate 143 days (and with no military experience what’s so ever).  Senator McCain having over 26 years experience serving in the senate and 22 years in the military and coming from a long line of McCain’s who have served this country well.  Senator McCain has 26 more years of Life Experience than Senator Obama.  And has demonstrated his ability to take the bull by the horns where policy and issues that concern our country are concerned.   (Statistics comparing Senators McCain and Obama provided by William M. Briggs).

When things look down, look up! 
Prayer Changes things, many people don’t realize this.  In a way, this is really a demonstration of a lack of faith.  If you really believed in God – asking Him for help would be effortless.  Because you’d know the help will be there – regardless.  Why not demonstrate your faith in God by sending Him a little hello! prayer today.  Or even try a bolder move and ask Him to help you with something in your life that you’re struggling with today.  You job concerns, your health, your family concerns….  No one is ever going to know (God is discreet like that!), it’ll only between you and God. 

Gonna go to the place that’s the best!

McCain: Bring The Budget to Balance by 2013

These words are music to my ears!  Is it possible??  Well it will require super human strength.  We are 55 trillion dollars in debt as a nation. 

How does John McCain propose he’ll do this? 

1) Reasonable economic growth. Growth is an imperative – historically the greatest success in reducing deficits (late 1980s; late 1990s) took place in the context of economic growth.

2)  Comprehensive spending controls. Bringing the budget to balance will require across-the-board scrutiny of spending and making tough choices on new spending proposals.

3)  Bi-partisanship in budget efforts. Much as the late 1990s witnessed bipartisan efforts to put the fiscal house in order, bi-partisan efforts will be the key to undoing the recent spending binge.

More about Dad
How Dad is doing?  Dad is still fighting off the chest cold.  Today, he stayed in bed all day.  Tomorrow, I’ll be taking him to the doctor’s again.  Dad and I took a little ride in the car today, just to get out of the house.  We stopped by the Optical store to pick-up some glasses we ordered about a week ago.  They look really great on Dad.   We also stopped by this great produce market on the way home and picked-up a large bag of Florida oranges.  To help Dad fight off his cold. 

Oh!  I almost forgot to tell you.  I play in this local community band and Sunday I went to a band concert for another local band.  At the concert I ran into a lady that also plays in the community band with me.  She showed a lot of interest in Dad.  Dad didn’t really seem to notice.
