These are the last days to send in your ballots, if you are absentee voting like we are. Do some research to solidify who and what you will be voting for, here is a quick snapshot that's appropriate.
In the spirit of Financial Friday I thought some charts would be interesting to reveal our concurrence of the issues. I saw a poll that was interesting and just re-posted the charts here for mere convenience purposes. These charts are interesting to see how people feel about our current plight.
What I found really interesting is the tyrannical agenda of a "certain group" revealed in the chart named "The Federal Government operates best when one political party controls both the Congress and the White House." This is the same group that is more employed by the government then the other groups and feels that the Federal deficit is not that big of an issue. Murdering of a country is consistent with murdering of babies after all.

Schooling At Home
I have been teaching my kids for a while now, their whole life even, and I cannot tell you how rewarding and fun it is to see the spark in my own children as they learn and explore about life.
I know deep down I am doing the right thing even though I hear all the naysayers, like many atheists here, speak of my inability to teach. Its just wrong and baseless. I believe they are trying to knock down some of the complete confidence I have in my decision to do so. I know with certainty that it is, and was, the right decision based on the fruit that I am witnessing. I am enjoying watching everyone collaborate on such an intimate level with various subjects and I can see how effective it is.
(Proverbs 22:6, Deuteronomy 6:7, Proverbs 6:20, Proverbs 29:17)

A Pot Rant
Since marijuana is up for vote on California's ballot this election to legalize it for everyone, I thought I would rant about it for a moment. I have had many conversations about this subject, and some of these rants are taken from some of them.
The logic being used by drug addicts and advocates are evidence for their drug use. It skews their thinking quite a bit.
Lets examine some of the reasons why people want it legalized.
1. Some say "Hey it's natural, God made it"
My response is, there is nothing "natural" about drying, inhaling and smoking on purpose. That is man made event. In a forest fire, animals run away from such events.
Also, God gave us many examples of things we are not allowed to touch. The tree of knowledge in the garden of Eden as a prime example. God made pigs also, but called them unclean and the Jews were not to eat Pork either, or shellfish for that manner. Just because it is on the earth doesn't mean we can partake in it. There are many poisonous plants and frogs out there that if we eat them we die within minutes, but they are here on earth though, so the logic doesn't stand.

The Problem of Evil
The conversation has turned into the problem of evil because I mentioned the claim:
God has a morally sufficient reason for the evil which exists.
Which is not sufficient for the Atheists here. Let's readdress it since this is no light matter for any of us. Especially for the tortured children out there, that may even be being tortured by their own parents.
Bahnsen alerted me to an interesting conversation between two brothers and the following rang so true in the sentiments of many Atheists that I know.
As Dostoevsky said best "a beast can never be so cruel as a man"

Ground Zero Mosque Plans
I don't know if anyone else has seen the plans for what the Ground Zero Mosque will look like*, but do you notice something very peculiar about it?
Take a look.
See it yet? |
If you don't see them then you're in denial. There are obvious pentagons and broken, yes broken, Stars of David. See the broken pieces and chaos?

Triumph. A call to us all!
Gianna Jessen survived her mother's abortion. Lecture held September 8th, 2008 Queen's Hall, Melbourne.
Abortions are intentioned not to go well. The description of "well" doesn't even come close to this result. She triumphed, all the glory goes to God.
God bless GW. Bush and Congress, for passing the The Born-Alive Infants Protection Act (BAIPA) with the help of my friend Jill Stanek, of course.
