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.

Excuse me...are we truly better off 4 years later?
www.usdebtclock.org
~~~We have a National Debt of over 16 TRILLION DOLLARS...do you even know how much that is?
16,000,000,000,000....yep, 12 zeros.
(Let's revist it...1,000 is one thousand...100,000 is one hundred thousand...1,000,000 is one million...
1,000,000,000 is one billion...and 1,000,000,000,000 is one trillion...multiply that by 16 and you now have our national debt...16,000,000,000,000)
break that down by debt per citizen...it's around $50,000. BUT, since not all citizens pay taxes, let's look at what the taxpayer technically owes on our national debt...$140,000.
So this President has added over 6 Trillion dollars to our debt in not even 4 years...truthfully, our government and economy will go Bankrupt if we have even 2 more years of this kind of spending.
~~~Oh, you wanted to talk about Food Stamps now? Our country has an all time high in the usage of food stamps...over 46 million people are on food stamps now. Although it was too high in 2008 also, there were 30 million people on food stamps when Bush left office. So, you have an increase of 16 million people added to the food stamp pay roll in only 4 years. That is NOT recovery!
~~~What was that...you wanted to see Unemployment rates broken down my month?

Oh that's right...the last 4 years have had consistent unemployment rates over 8%. That doesn't those who are underemployed or was too prideful to draw and file for unemployment.
I get that this blog only looked at 3 #'s or aspects of the economy...but National Debt is a huge crisis that has to be addressed. Food stamp #'s prove that our economy sucks...16 million people added to that means less people having jobs that allow them money to provide for their family. THEN, the unemployment rate proves that there are NO jobs. Based on economics alone...we can't afford 4 more years.

Excuse me...did the middle class shrink over the last 4 years?
So the middle class has shrunk, and is poorer today than in the previous years...
google it; there are numerous things on the internet making this claim.(even liberal sources like npr etc)
So, how in the world are the democrats making a case about helping and supporting the middle class? Seriously? There is ZERO common sense in their message regarding this issue.
There are less jobs available, therefore there are less people working, and those who are working are making less money today than they were 4 years ago...so you tell me, why is the middle class shrinking?
Plain and simple...we have a President and Administration who does NOT know how to create private (non-government) jobs.

It reveals his character...Obama
So, I watched the Republican National Convention last week...and have watched the first night of the Democratic National Convention tonight. Before I get into the nit and gritty of it, I will first say this...it is gross how much the "journalist", regardless of network, are in the pocket of the Democrats. Try to find a Conservative on ABC, NBC, PBS, etc...try...they aren't there. Therefore, the "slant" of these people is grotesque...
So, in case you missed it...every single speaker I heard tonight for the DNC spoke of women's reproductive rights (aka...KILLING BABIES) and people's right to love whomever they chose (GAY MARRIAGE).
That is the new party platform...literally. Now if you don't want to admit that these moral issues are Biblical issues...then let's move on to the next issue...the economy. Michelle talked about the 4 million jobs created, but amazingly failed to mention the 20 million + jobs that have been lossed. They bash Romney for his success, yet talk about them trying to obtain the same thing. Everyone wants their children to have more than they did...
Also, Michelle talked about her and Barack's similar upbringing...that's BS. Do you know Obama's background? Kenyan-Muslim father...Radical Mother who not only married and had children with Obama's dad...remarried an Indonesian man...moved Barack to Indonesia...divorced and moved back to Hawaii...
where he was given radical Socialist mentors to guide his upbringing...
Does this sound like the childhood you had? It sure isn't the one I had...I was born and raised in the South.
Not in different countries with influences that were anti-American. How could he understand America when he didn't even grow up appreciating it, or living here? That isn't a lie...it's the truth.
I don't agree with everything about the RNC...but I sure as heck agree with less of the DNC. You name it, and I almost disagree with it. Moral/social issues....disagree. Economics...disagree. National Security...disagree.
