really random political rant…grr

30 01 2009

So, some of you know that I have a passion for politics and before God called me to ministry that was where I was headed. Well, I still follow politics pretty extensively and I usually end up getting really ticked about what congress and the president do. Well, the past few days was one of those days. Congress passed Barack Obama’s economic stimulus package–an 816 BILLION dollar spending spree. O, and did I mention that we do not have 816 billion dollars; which means we are going to print more money and devalue the dollar and my generation as well as generations after me is going to be paying it back.

What is more is that people think this is all getting pushed back into the economy when in fact 335 million of it is going to fund STD prevention programs. Last time I checked STD prevention programs had little or no effect on the economy. Also, people who do not have social security cards will be getting a refund check. So that means illegals will be getting money and tax cuts on taxes they do not even pay. I mean c’mon, this is not that difficult and anyone with any knowledge of Austrian ecomonics and our Constitution can testify to the fact that this massive governmental spending spree is not going to work. Government is not the solution to our problem. If we want to solve the problem we must let the debt liquify and allow these bad companies to pay for their mistakes. We need to return to what is constitutional and return to the free nation we are meant to be. I could go on forever but I do not wish to bore you with too much more so I must quit. Please feel free to comment.





new year’s stuff

1 01 2009

So, it has been awhile since I have updated; too long if you ask me. But anyways, I was thinking that I would write about the new year. This year should be different for all of us because we should set new goals and strive to grow in our walks with God. So in light of this, here is a list of some of the things I plan on doing in 2009.

  1. Grow in my walk with God and learn even more about what it means that he is my only and absolute Joy and Desire
  2. Work out 3 days a week
  3. Blog at least once a week
  4. Twitter regularly
  5. Figure out whether or not to get a job or go to seminary
  6. Graduate (maybe that should be before the previous one)
  7. Cultivate my friendships to be deeper
  8. Read a lot of books that I actually want to read
  9. Read through the Bible
  10. Go to Peru for missions
  11. Give regularly to an organization (probably GO InterNational)
  12. Live by and stick to my budget
  13. Reach out to some people who don’t know Jesus
  14. Become more proficient at guitar
  15. Be a better steward of my time for God’s glory
  16. Spend and enjoy family more

Now, I know I listed a lot here. But all of these are things are things I desire to get accomplished and keep up with.I believe that as a Christian, we should be constantly seeking God more and more and this year 2 Chronicles 15:1-15 are the theme verses for me.
