I'm 32...and in one year, my graduating high school class has now lost 3 people from it. There have been others in the past, but the three in one year seems like alot.
One (whom I was closest too in my past through sports)...died in a car accident, as well as one of her kids.
The second, undoubtedly was struck by a car as he was walking.
The third, over dose and was found dead (today I believe)
What makes #3 difficult, is that I grew up playing wiffle ball, basketball, and ping pong with him at one of the local churches family life centers. As a friend was texting me about it tonight, you wonder if you could have done something different to help alter this guys' path of destruction...granted I have seen this person once or twice since graduation, but still...
Here's the hard reality...people struggle and the devil gets his foothold. It has happened too many times in my hometown, and many others out there. This isn't the first aquaintence to die due to overdose...and the tougher part, is these people refuse to learn from the mistakes of others...they have watched other friends die from the very same thing in the past. When will people learn...drugs destroy you and the people around you.
So...as with many things whether it be drug addiction, any addiction, gun violence, etc...
although maybe cliche at times...the only answer is a transformation through a relationship with Jesus Christ.
It literally makes me sick to see the devil win, another family destroyed, and hearts broken. I didn't know this guys' parents very well, but as a parent now...I can not imagine what that phone call is like, the shame, guilt, embarrassment, heart break, etc they must feel...without naming names, pray for them and the others going through similar situations.
Here's the weird guilt on my end...I have never experienced that. I have the complete opposite...I LOVE Jesus and He alone has transformed my life. I have joy, peace, and love like I don't deserve...and yet others are so lost and lonely, that they move in the complete opposite direction.

is it the gun? or deeper than that?
Americans everywhere have to be asking...how does something like this happen (the school shooting that is)? Why does something like this happen? As humans, we want explanations and we can't wrap our head around these tragedies...it's horrible, not just this one, but all of them-Columbine-school, Jonesboro-school, Colorodo-movie theater, Portland-mall, Conneticut-school, let alone the NFL players murder-suicide...these are just the ones that makes the news.
For people like my agnostic friend...how can you not believe in evil after simply watching the news?
Evil exists, the Devil exists...and truly, as us humans and our society moves further from God...the closer we move toward the opposite of God, which is evil. It's obvious. This isn't a gun problem, because guns cannot shoot themselves...kind of like the NFL player who was drunk and killed his teammate in the car accident; that wasn't the car's fault, it was the drivers-the person behind the wheel.
But still it goes deeper. Ephesians 6:10-20 talks about putting the Armor of God...but also tells you why it is important to put on the breastplate of righteousness, the helmet of salvation, the belt of truth, the sheild of truth, etc. Why are we told to arm ourselves for battle? We have multiple defensive tools according to God in this scripture, and only one offensive weapon...the sword (which is the Word of God/His scriptures)
This is the bottom line...and it will come straight from Ephesians 6 "Finally be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
The reasons these things happen, it isn't because God made them...it's exactly the opposite. Just as good and holy people exist and strive to be more like Christ, others are working for the Devil and his schemes. If you don't believe in so called spiritual warfare, then I suggest you open your eyes...you only have 2 sides to choose from; which are you fighting for? Just because you aren't committing acts this terrible, doesn't mean you're still not battling for evil...
Lastly, battles are won and lost daily...but the ultimate war has been won. Christ wins, so in a crazy world, take refuge in that.

Post election thoughts
I won't lie...I was in SHOCK this past week when Obama won (severly won via the electoral vote).
Before I go on, I will continue to pray over him...and for his true salvation in Christ, along with his family. That being said, here are my thoughts post election...
Some may not like this, but here my heart please...and know that I truly believe this after pondering this a few days:
Those who voted Democrat...usually, not always (so don't get mad if you are not in this category) vote with selfish intentions. Wanna know what I mean?
-Class warfare...Obama played this card like a fiddle...he played on the jealousy and greed of the lower/middle class with saying the wealthy have too much and have an unfair advantage. It's selfish to vote because people are "rich" and you aren't.
-Race...funny enough, Republicans have been told that they are racist for not voting for Obama...while 93% of Blacks voted for Obama. Hmmmmm? I doubt and know that policy had little to do with this.
- Homosexual agenda...this plays to a group of individual's identity, and they want recognition regardless of what the Bible says or the majority of Americans. It's selfish desire to vote on this one criteria.
-Hispanic vote...selfish desire to want to be citizens when we want people to come to our country legally, but this is advocating for illegal immigration...there is a difference, but the Hispanic vote went heavily for Obama.
-Handouts...yes, I said it...let's be honest, (and this isn't to those who are truly on a government paycheck out of necessity, etc) With more and more Americans going on food stamps, on disability, getting free phones, etc...why would the ones mouching off the system want their handouts to stop. So, they selfishly vote to get what they want and are accustomed to.
*Now if you truly think all of these things better our country as a whole, then maybe you weren't selfish in your thinking...but if you are catering to your own special interests, then sorry you voted selfishly.
You can not call me selfish for voting for fiscal responsibility, which helps the entire country.
You can not call me selfish for voting my Christian values...read the Bible, it is clear on certain issues that are best for society. Sorry recreational drug use isn't one of them.
You can not call me selfish for voting for someone who hasn't suppressed Christianity here in America...you guys get ready, we have been battling religious freedom, but it's gonna get worse.
I've said enough...you get my point. You may not appreciate it, but you get it.

VP debate...was there a winner?
There isn't going to be anything blockbuster about this post...just an honest assesment of the VP debate tonight. I will shoot you straight...Biden did better than I expected. Ryan did well too...they obviously have two different styles, and I personally think this is the key takeaway from tonight.
I will come at this from a salesperson perspective:
First...let's look at content:
Ryan likes to explain things, whether that be his position or policies...truthfully, for the average person watchign the debate...it may have even been too much and over the public's heads. BUT, if you are listening for plans, and to actually learn what their vision is...he is very precise.
Biden...he appears to throw "stuff" out there, BUT says it with assertiveness and confidence. So what I will say is this...just because you speak confidently, doesn't mean that what you are saying is true.
Next, let's look at styles:
Biden...assertive, confidence, and in the opinion of some...rude. My personal take...he was a little much in the interupting department (which obviously disrupts the content of the Ryan message). So, if you like the fact that Biden was rude in his smurks and interupting, then you will think he did a great job of going on the attack. He spent more time attacking Ryan, then actually telling the American public how these next 4 years will be any different than the last.
Ryan...he isn't a bulldog like Biden. Ryan is a thinker, and an intellect. So, if you were looking for content and explanations...then you appreciate him. He was respectful of the moderator and of Biden...and he did not play into Biden's theatrics.
So, do I think that this debate was a game changer...No. I think that Biden catered to his base (taxing the wealthy, and blaming Bush)...and I think the Ryan catered to his base. (Providing plans, solutions, and drawing contrast from the Obama administration).
*So I pose the question to you...do you want an administration that blames others, takes little responsibility (even though what Ryan said tonight was accurate...that you had a Demorat President, and Deomocrat House AND Senate...they could have done literally whatever they wanted to)...and from an economic standpoint did not get the job done
OR do you want an administration with a different approach...one that plans to create jobs, which would put Americans back to work, and cut spending where possible to help balance a budget (and actually pass a budget...keeping in mind that it is a fact, Obama has not passed a budget in 3 years)
What did you think?

Healthcare...DO NOT believe the lies
Healthcare...DO NOT believe the lies
If you know me, you know that I am watching
this debate...and fuming at the dishonesty and deception coming from this
President. Now before you quit reading, hear me out...this is a topic that I
happen to know a little bit about, and luckily have the ability to talk to
people in the healthcare community every single day.
FIRST...let's talk about Medicare. There HAS to be changes to this, OR IT WILL NOT BE AROUND WITHIN A FEW SHORT YEARS. Just because it is offered doesn't mean that it (it being medicare) will be accepted by offices. There are thousands of offices that have stopped taking new medicare patients all together...therefore, if you are ALMOST of medicare elgibility, these offices are not going to take you as a patient (So your healthcare is NO GOOD) It isn't about "having" coverage, it is about no one taking it.
Next, Obama is on the record saying he supports a "single payer" system..what do you think that means? GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTHCARE...do you not understand that people come to this country to get quality healthcare? They don't run to Canada or Europe for life saving surgery...
If I need a doctor, I simply go...that will fundamentally change under Obamacare.
Next, Obama keeps saying you can keep your insurance through work...what he obviously does not understand is this...the cost of healthcare has gone up since Healthcare Reform was implemented. Connect the dots...what does that mean? If companies can't afford their current healthcare, then those people go onto the government system...that does not mean you get to keep your current healthcare if your employer has to forgo insurance due to rising healthcare cost.
Next, regarding hospitals and test...if you happen to get in a life threatening accident, you will have various doctors and specialist treating you. When they do that, they all get paid for their expertise (whether that be critical care pulmonology for your breathing and lungs, or a cardiologist for you heart, or a neurologist for you brain function, etc) They should all get paid, because they are each individually using their skills to save your life...under this new plan, this will not remain in place.
They will simply get a lump some of money, regardless of care...do you not realize that this compromises care? Hospitals and physicians will not get paid if a patient is readmitted to a hosptial within 30 days of discharge...what do you think that means...that care will be compromised? If they are going to lose money and not get paid for someone returning to the hospital, they can't afford to operate.
*All I can say is this...do not let the smooth talking President fool you...he is truly deceiving the American people, and I can not stand for that.

Wow...knocking my socks off
Some reading this will think I am crazy, but join the club!!!
I am blessed to be at an amazing church and in an amazing Life Group (Sunday school class).
We have a leader who has been taking us through Romans, and explaining it...it can be confusing at times if you don't understand it. Not only that, but one of the women in our class has such Biblical knowledge...I am jealous. So, I have started taking a "class" on Sundays with the other women in our Sunday class...with this particular lady leading the way.
So, if you have ever wondered how people learn to disect, analyze, and apply that which is in the Bible...then pick this book up, "LORD, Teach Me to Study the Bible in 28 days" by Kay Arthur.
I have been a Christian since Middle School...and literally until this point at 32 years old, have NEVER had anyone teach or lead me to study the Bible. I've known I should read it daily...and have fallen short of that expectation my whole life. I am not a 'reader' per se...but I like to study things that I am interested in.
To give you a small glimpse:
Day one takes the passage of Hosea 4:1-3, 6
1. Listen to the word of the Lord, O sons of Israel,
For the Lord has a case against the inhabitants of the land,
Because there is no faithfulness or kindness
Or knowledge of God in the land,
2. There is swearing, deception, murder, stealing and adultery.
They employ violence, so that bloodshed follows bloodshed.
3. Therefore the land mourns,
And everyone who lives in it languishes
Along with the beasts of the field and the birds of the sky,
And also the fish of the sea disappear.
6. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge,
Because you have rejected knowledge,
I also will reject you from being My priest.
Since you have forgotten the law of your God,
I also will forget your children.
*So in a nutshell...and there is more packed in this passage...the highlighted-blue is teaching us that this is in regards to the land of Israel, and it's people...the highlighted-yellow is teaching us what the lack of knowledge and/or the rejection of knowledge of God will cause...sound familiar? It should.

I can NOT take it...what I would ask Obama.
I'm obsessed with politics...it's probably unhealthy at this point, but I am still obsessed.
Why??? Because this is a crucial election...and I am watching a President who is misleading many Americans. I am literally shouting at the television at the garbage coming out of his mouth.
-He is still tauting climate change? Really? Scientist have proven that this is a hoax, yet that is how he is still trying to sell Americans on his crazy agendas. (and how he is catering to his environmental base)
-Oh, by 2020 we will have vehicles with higher gas mileage...sounds great, but how can people afford cars with new technologies, with higher gas prices might I add? It isn't feasible for a crappy economy.
-He just blasted Romney on not having a plan...but ironically has failed to mention his own? Oh...he doesn't have one. He didn't mention ANY specifics of a plan...NONE. can we say hypocrit for literally blasting Romney, and then doing less of the very thing he just said.
-Did he just say we've strengthened old alliances? HE HASN'T BEEN TO ISREAL SINCE HE BECAME PRESIDENT...THEY ARE OUR BIGGEST ALLY IN THE MIDDLE EAST. I'm pretty sure Condoleezza Rice nailed it last week when she stated neither our friends or enemies know where America stands on foreign policy.
-he also just said those countries in the middle east shouldn't have a dictator...BUT THEY HAVE THE FREAKIN MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD IN CHARGE NOW. THAT'S A RADICAL GROUP...
a jew and christian hating group...atleast Mubark was considered an ally in the past.
-he just said he will pay down our national debt and put more people back to work...rebuilding roads and infrastructure...THAT'S TAX PAYER MONEY...AND IS SPENDING MONEY, NOT CUTTING.
This is the man that has added 6 TRILLION DOLLARS IN 4 YEARS...more than any othe President in history. Do you listen to what he says, or do you pay attention to his actions and what he does? The proof is there from his actions.
-why is he obsessed with taking money from the wealthy? Who cares how much money others make?
I'm pretty sure envy and greed is considered sin. The rich do not pay less taxes...a smaller percentage doesn't mean less money.
-How are you going to reduce the cost of healthcare like you just claimed? The cost is going up...I'm in the industry, I know. I hear it everyday...that's why offices are rejecting new medicare patients. The government doesn't hold up their end.
-citizenship? His definition is SOCIALISM...that is not citizenship. What can be done by us, together???
we have heard about sharing, together, etc...being forced into that is socialism.
-He is promoting ILLEGAL immigration, to gain votes. This country is based on immigration...that's a good thing. But there are laws and rules to do it properly...and if kids were brought here illegally, then that is on their parents. That is the consequences literally, of the sins of the fathers. IT'S ILLEGAL.
-I wonder why he hasn't mentioned Solyndra??? Oh that's right...it's that solar panel company that he funneled money too in the stimulus package...that went out of business. That was money well spent right?
-every one gets a fair shot...and everyone does their fare share??? That's why people on food stamps have gone up to a record high of 46 million people? That isn't doing their fare share...that's mouching off the system OR for those who genuily need it, he hasn't created jobs to keep them off of food stamps. He has added to it.
***THINK ABOUT THIS...you have an ex-President who spoke last night: So you are going to trust a man who lied under oath during his Presidency, who lied to his wife, who is accused of raping a woman, has had multiple affairs, and who despised our current President a few years ago...but yet you are supposed to believe the things he said last night??? Ironic...
***THINK ABOUT THIS...this man has NO SOLUTIONS. So, he is "buying" votes...think about it...
he is buying the homosexual vote, he is buying the female activist vote (abortion rights/killing baby rights/reproductive rights), he is buying the hispanic vote (by breaking our federal laws and allowing illegals to be in our country)
***THINK ABOUT THIS...he had an outdoor football stadium set up to hold 70,000 people for this speech...and they moved it indoors. Oh, even NBC just stated that it is a clear night in Charlotte...
so it is obvious...they couldn't fill the stadium so they moved it indoors to house 20,000. (It wasn't about the weather)
I'M DONE...I'M SO FRUSTRATED AT HOW PEOPLE BELIEVE THIS MAN. Do not misunderstand me...Romney wasn't my first choice; I have reservations about him too, but nothing like I do on Obama. Obama is NOT a Democrat like years ago...he is very different, very radical, and very socialist. I will take my bet on Romney any day over Obama...not because of party affiliation, but because of policy.

***THINK ABOUT THIS...you have an ex-President who spoke last night: So you are going to trust a man who lied under oath during his Presidency, who lied to his wife, who is accused of raping a woman, has had multiple affairs, and who despised our current President a few years ago...but yet you are supposed to believe the things he said last night??? Ironic...
***THINK ABOUT THIS...this man has NO SOLUTIONS. So, he is "buying" votes...think about it...
he is buying the homosexual vote, he is buying the female activist vote (abortion rights/killing baby rights/reproductive rights), he is buying the hispanic vote (by breaking our federal laws and allowing illegals to be in our country)
***THINK ABOUT THIS...he had an outdoor football stadium set up to hold 70,000 people for this speech...and they moved it indoors. Oh, even NBC just stated that it is a clear night in Charlotte...
so it is obvious...they couldn't fill the stadium so they moved it indoors to house 20,000. (It wasn't about the weather)
I'M DONE...I'M SO FRUSTRATED AT HOW PEOPLE BELIEVE THIS MAN. Do not misunderstand me...Romney wasn't my first choice; I have reservations about him too, but nothing like I do on Obama. Obama is NOT a Democrat like years ago...he is very different, very radical, and very socialist. I will take my bet on Romney any day over Obama...not because of party affiliation, but because of policy.
