Memorial Day

Today we honor our servicemen who work to keep us free. I want to dedicate the following song to them in memory of those who are gone, those who have served and those who are serving in our armed forces today. God Bless You All!

We are on vacation this week!

Since we are on vacation this week, we hope that we can share some nice things that we have learned or experienced in next weeks blog entries!

Our Foundation of Hope

"For you have been my hope O sovereign Lord, my confidence since my youth, from birth I have relied on you." Psalm 71:5-6

The Tankless Waterheater

I'm always interested in some new invention that runs better, cheaper or saves time. The new tankless water heaters are something else. They will save energy because you get hot water when you need it. Check out the following link if you think that you might want to consider one:
The Rinnai tankless water heater...http://foreverhotwater.com/

Our future is going to be a lot different and we are going to have to find ways to conserve energy and save money. It is a good policy for us to do, anyway. For sure, this present congress isn't going to help it's citizens. They are more interested in keeping us in debt to OPEK, no matter how much fuel oil we have. Wonder why we can buy oil from foreign markets that drill but we can't drill our own. Kinda looks like a double standard to me. If it is wrong here, why is it not wrong there? And, that's another story.

Technology, Pharmaceuticals and Our Brains


With all the technology from computers, ipods, video games etc. and with all the medical drugs that are being prescribed, I think we have a lot of people in this country that cannot think for themselves. Both of these things, among some other things can effect how peoples brains work and even change their brain thought patterns after a while. They are in bondage.

It just seems that crime and violence has sky rocked with the video games, violent movies and the sex industry is rampant with all the material and movies available. It has become an unsafe world in the name of freedom of speech. It's abuse of the term. These things do effect people or education doesn't work. Movies and videos are used in schools so why aren't they teaching agents outside of the schools? All I am saying is that these so called freedoms for sex and violence is making our society unsafe. It is not safe to let your children and grandchildren out of close supervision and it has even gotten unsafe for the little grandma's living alone.

I have also been concerned with the pushing of medical prescriptions by the pharmaceutical companies. All kinds of commercials on tv, in the paper and in magazines. People read about these drugs and then they go tell their doctors they need these drugs and the doctors prescribe them. Of course, doctors are doing a good job pushing the drugs themselves. I think we all know lots of people on prescription drugs because the doctors have prescribed them, they cause more problems and the doctors prescribes more to combat those problems and the people are hooked.They are also afraid to say no, because the doctors have told them that they must have them or they could be seriously ill. Somewhere, someone needs to stop this.

Both of these prevalent problems will effect how peoples brains perform. It is scary. What people watch and read can effect their brain and what they consume in the form of drugs can effect their brain. The effects of both on brain activity should be considered.

How did I get on this subject? Check out the following article that is somewhat close to my thoughts.

All I am trying to say is, protect your brain. Put good productive things into your mind and do not use medications if they aren't very, very necessary. Don't get on the wrong track and live a long healthy life.

Conservatives Are Happier Than Liberals

A Very Interesting Article... conservatives are happier than liberals :http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,354424,00.html

Of course this is probably true because conservatives tend to be the average family or person that is not pushing the limits socially, in the work force or in their lifestyle. They enjoy living each day, doing the things that they need to do, being responsible for their obligations, socializing with their friends and family regularly and worshiping God. Satisfaction in living the good life in the stressed out world around them.

The National Day of Prayer

"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."
II Chronicles 7:14 KJV


God Bless America

"While the storm clouds gather far across the sea,
Let us swear allegiance to a land that's free,
Let us all be grateful for a land so fair,
As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer. "

God Bless America,
Land that I love.
Stand beside her, and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above.
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans, white with foam
God bless America, My home sweet home.
-Words and music by Irving Berlin
