Ok, if you read the first blog of today, you noticed that it was a bit political and that is ok, because it is my blog, it is from the mind of me, and that is just who I am and if you are my friend or my family you know that, and you still love and care about me even if I have a bias or two, even if I am a black and white thinker.
Now for your more traditional thanksgiving blog, I must tell you there are several things that I am indeed very thankful for.
1. For having been called and saved by my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
2. For Christ also calling and saving my dear wife and my two Daughters
3. For two great Son in laws that know the Lord and desire to be the husbands and fathers that God desires them to be.
4. For 4 Granddaughters who are growing into beautiful souls
5. For a sister I have recently reconnected with and appreciate being able to spend time with her.
6. For extras years my gracious Lord has given to me that I might spend:
with my wife
with my daughters
and to watch my granddaughters grow
but must of all to have more years here to serve Him,
to minister in His name for His kingdom
to prayerfully have some influence upon others for His kingdom.
I am forever grateful and thankful for all He has done in me and for me and through me. Truly this is that one day I can court along with all my other days, Thank you Lord, for saving my soul. Thank you Lord for making me whole. Thank you Lord for giving to me, thy great salvation so rich and so free.

The Real Thanksgiving Story
I know this is not a popular story, and a story that our great liberal education system has infiltrated the minds of youth for far too many years in an attempt to create social change.
However, I want to relay the real story, a story that is based on the true records and accounts that have been discovered and are on the record.
A story that reveals the first efforts that caused so much failure and resulted in the death of many of the early Pilgrims was, at its fundamental root, socialistic or even communistic in nature.
Read the story:
Did you know that the first [Plymouth Colony Pilgrim's] Thanksgiving was a celebration of the triumph of private property and individual initiative?
William Bradford was the governor of the original Pilgrim colony, founded at Plymouth in 1621. The colony was first organized on a communal basis, as their financiers required. Land was owned in common. The Pilgrims farmed communally, too, following the "from each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs" precept.
The results were disastrous. Communism didn't work any better 400 years ago than it does today. By 1623, the colony had suffered serious losses. Starvation was imminent.
Bradford realized that the communal system encouraged and rewarded waste and laziness and inefficiency, and destroyed individual initiative. Desperate, he abolished it. He distributed private plots of land among the surviving Pilgrims, encouraging them to plant early and farm as individuals, not collectively.
The results: a bountiful early harvest that saved the colonies. After the harvest, the Pilgrims celebrated with a day of Thanksgiving -- on August 9th.
Unfortunately, William Bradford's diaries -- in which he recorded the failure of the collectivist system and the triumph of private enterprise -- were lost for many years. When Thanksgiving was later made a national holiday, the present November date was chosen. And the lesson the Pilgrims so painfully learned was, alas, not made a part of the holiday.
Happily, Bradford's diaries were later rediscovered. They're available today in paperback. They tell the real story of Thanksgiving -- how private property and individual initiative saved the Pilgrims.
And so we see the Indians had nothing to do with this story, nothing at all, it was a pure and simple change from a "spreading the wealth around" concept, those who worked hard had to share with those who did not work hard, all was in common,it created strife and hardship for all, to a system of free enterprise. When each person was allowed to own his own land and keep and sell the fruits of his individual labor, the colony was successful.
Let us learn a lesson, Let us not allow this new President to turn our country back into the same common state that caused so much failure and death in the past.
So Happy thanksgiving to all and to all a good feast

Well home sweet home
Just a short and sweet story about a couple deeply in love and how after 10 days of being apart they have been reunited once again. I am home after driving my dear sister to her new Southern residence in Naples and doing a little fix up work to help her get settled in. So here I am back in the arms of the bride of my youth.

The time is almost here
Well, I am starting to think about getting ready to drive my sister to Florida, I know I have been so preoccupied with this election, so much is at stake and I can't help felling a little hopeless because of all the media bias and the like. But I still am putting my trust in the Lord and am thinking about getting to the Southern potion of the Country. I admit I am not sure how much space will be left in my sisters car for some of my clothes that I will need to the week I am staying with her to help her get settled in before I fly home, I really don;t need to bring anything back with me at all, as I can leave whatever I take there. Like no bag at all on the plane except my Laptop of course, where would I be without it. But I am the pack-master and I will find some room. My sister is of course packing for 6 months now that she is a condo owner and will be there for a lot longer time then in the past, It has been neat to watch her change from being there one month to two months and then 3 and now 6. It is far better for her to be completely out of the cold. I have mixed emotions about the 3 months we will be gone, I am looking forward to spending time with my sister, although our views are so different, and this year who will have there candidate in the White House, OH BOY! yet I am so much going to miss being around my little sweetpeas. Isabelle and Sophia, not to mention my daughter, who is going to have her back surgery before we leave, which may delay our departure a week or so, due to helping her thru this recovery period. But I am getting in the mode of thinking about Florida, and what that all means.

Excuse me Sen. Obama
Once again I yield my space to the words of another. who I am not sure, yet I know these truths to be self evident. I have heard each of these exposed on a number of places of which I have confidence in. and so I offer this for your reading pleasure or pain, depending on your persuasion
Although I must admit for those who are devoted and persuaded to the cause of liberty and personal freedom, to those who believe that the fruits of ones own labor should actually belong to that one who worked for it, to those who do not wish to have the orsenwellion future of big brother not only watching, but rather overseeing each and every persons life and death, this could be a painful read, if the left has done enough voter fraud work to actually achieve it's goal.
Nevertheless please read on:
Excuse me Mr. Obama, I mean Senator Obama, sir. Um . . know you are busy and important and stuff. I mean running for president is very important and . . . ah . . . I hate to bother you. I will only take a minute ok, sir?
See, I have these missing pieces that are holding me up, and I was wondering sir, if you could take time out of your busy schedule and help me out. You know, no big deal, just some loose ends and things.
I can't seem to get some information I need to wrap this up. These things seem to either be "locked" or "not available'. I'm sure it's just some oversight or glitch or something, so if you could you tell me where these things are . . . I . I . . . have them written down here somewhere . . . oh wait. Sorry about the smears. It was raining out. I'll just read it to you.
Could you help me please find these things, sir?

You couldn't get a job at McDonalds and become district manager after 143 days of experience.
You couldn't become chief of surgery after 143 days of experience of being a surgeon.
You couldn't get a job as a teacher and be the superintendent after 143 days of experience.
You couldn't join the military and become a colonel after 143 days of experience.
You couldn't get a job as a reporter and become the nightly news anchor after 143 days of experience.
BUT....
'From the time Barack Obama was sworn in as a United State Senator, to the time he announced he was forming a Presidential exploratory committee, he logged 143 days of experience in the Senate. That's how many days the Senate was actually in session and working. After
143 days of work experience, Obama believed he was ready to be Commander In Chief, Leader of the Free World .... 143 days.
We all have to start somewhere. The senate is a good start, but after 143 days, that's all it is - a start.
AND, strangely, a large sector of the American public is okay with this and campaigning for him. We wouldn't accept this in our own line of work, yet some are okay with this for the President of the ; United States of America ? Come on folks, we are not voting for the next American Idol!

The Sum of Good Government
Here it is my friends, 1st a quote from one of the founder fathers of the constitution of this great land. and a Federalists at that!
A wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government.
- Thomas Jefferson, 1801
NOW THIS IS WHAT IS DEFINED AS TRANSFER OF WEALTH. OR TAKING THE MOUTH OF LABOR THE BREAD IT HAS EARNED.
The transfer of wealth can occur in various ways. Some methods for transferring wealth are voluntary transfers from those who have it to those who do not. Other methods involve forcibly removing the wealth from those who have it and redistributing it to those who do not. Redistribution of Wealth, in political/simple terms is "taking from the rich to give to the poor". Although this is a simple view, the ideas and implementations by governments to facilitate this process is generally considered negative, and the impact is negligible. It could be argued, that Redistribution by choice creates as many positive outcomes (or more) than "by force".
All political and economic systems facilitate the redistribution of wealth including Capitalism, Communism and Socialism, however the favored method of redistribution varies from system to system. Capitalism relies primarily on the voluntary purchase and sale of goods and services, whereas Communism and Socialism typically use involuntary methods such as taxation and nationalization of property.
AND FINALLY THIS IS THE CONVERSATION BETWEEN LABOR AND THE WOULD BE GOVERNMENT
Wurzelbacher explained that by working hard (10-12 hours a day) he was in a position to buy a business. If he bought a truck and expanded the business, he wondered if his success would be greeted by a penalty in the form of higher taxes.
“Your new tax plan is going to tax me more, isn’t it?” Wurzlebacher asked.
“It’s not that I want to punish your success,” Obama explained. “I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they’ve got a chance for success too. My attitude is that if the economy’s good for folks from the bottom up, it’s gonna be good for everybody … I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.”
IN ORDER WORDS SEN OBAMA DESIRES TO ACT OUTSIDE THE CONSTITUTION AND FORCE LABOR TO GIVE UP FROM ITS MOUTH THE BREAD IT HAS EARNED SO HE CAN GIVE IT TO THOSE WHO HAVE NOT EARNED IT.
THAT IS SOCIALISM!

Ohio The land of the voters
When I lived in Illinois I really thought the state was corrupt, but living in the land of the worthless nut ( the buckeye state) I have come to know what real corruption is all about. Three groups, Acorn, drop everything and come to Ohio, and vote from home are all out of state people who are renting homes and have registered to vote in Ohio and many of them already voted in the "early vote"period which is so un-American. The state of Ohio has a law which clearly states you must be registered for 30 days before you can vote, yet the Democratic Secretary of State has allowed people to register and vote on the same day, and then willnot release the names of those people to the 88 countries so they can verify these are truthful Ohio voters. What a scam by the Democrates, it is a real obamanation! An attempt to steal the state from the real people of Ohio. I am so sick of this liberal attempt to control the outcome of a free people in a free country.
So please conservatives come to Ohio early and vote often, the liberals are!
