On Wednesday evening during our commute to mid-week services we were (as always) listening to talk radio. A caller brought up one of this election's big issues: taxes. He said that he had figured out that if the 2.3 Trillion dollar budget was divided equally between each U.S. citizen that each individual would have to pay over $8000 a year in taxes. As i am currently making about $10,000 a year i was floored by this.
Well guess what Kerry wants to do as soon as he gets into office (if he's elected that is): raise taxes. Another caller said that she and her husband both own small businesses and if Kerry gets his way they will have a combined income of $60,000 a year after taxes. The rich already foot a lot of the bill because their taxes are so high (i, for example, don't pay taxes at all: i get it all back) and of course Kerry wants to raise their taxes, too.
Why are we punishing the wealthy for living the American Dream? All of us want to be rich, right? At least, that's the general mentality of this nation. We're capitalists and we look up to--even idolize--the rich, so what gives? We want to punish the ones who have achieved everything we're working for? Something doesn't add up here.
Kerry says "I will restore trust and credibility," yeah right! I happen to trust the man who's currently office, thank you very much. Sure, W isn't perfect, but i voted for him with my eyes wide open and i'm going to vote for him again. Bush is of the stuff presidents should be made of and trusts God for his strength; i'm sure that's more than we can say of Kerry.

I Committed Murder ~ NSU post # 2
Today's Charlotte Observer contains the article 'I had an abortion' T-shirts cause Carolinas rift. Planned Parenthood has finally realized that they're offending people with their new t-shirts that proudly proclaim "I had an abortion." Wearing one of these shirts is just like saying "I Committed Murder" and it's about time someone complained. The fact that we allow abortion in our country at all--let alone are still arguing about whether or not partial birth abortion should be legal--is just another symptom that's indicating the death pains of the U.S.
Sympton #1 = State Advocated Murder
Psalm 139:13-16 says:
"You (God) made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb. Thank You for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous--and how well I know it. You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed."
Abortion is murder, which is why Planned Parenthood hates the fact that those of us who aren't "Pro-Choice" call ourselves "Pro-Life." No matter how they try to defend themselves or deny the truth they know that saying one is Pro-Choice is merely the justification of the death of someone they consider to be an inconvenience. So many people are willing to adopt children because they cannot have any or because they want more but it's expensive and difficult to adopt. Meanwhile Planned Parenthood tries to control the world's population growth and proudly offers t-shirts like this on their website.
If life does not begin at conception when does it begin? When the heart starts beating? When the mother feels movement? If a woman miscarries? God says that our lives are laid out before us before we even live a day: i believe that means before we're even conceived (how many great lives have been cut short before they even truly began?) but what about Partial Birth Abortion? Our Representatives in Congress and Judicial System can't even agree on whether it's acceptable or not.
How low must we sink before we turn back to God?

in the beginning... ~ NSU post #1
People are always telling me to shut up. I always reply "i never shut up." So that's why i'm starting this new page... because there are a lot of things going on in today's world that i want to write and talk about from my faith to politics to entertainment. I feel the need to proclaim the truth and that's what i intend to do. America is on the verge of collapse if Christians don't stand up for what's right and take the steps that are necessary for a revival in the church and a great awakening in the streets.
No one has to read what i'm going to write if they don't want to, but i'm not going to shut up: the Founding Fathers created a country with freedom of speech and i'm going to exercise my right here. Hopefully i can sprinkle in some humor and display some God-like wisdom: but the truth is that i just want to have a place to talk even if no one will listen because i do have something to say. Feel free to comment and write me about whatever but remember: i never shut up.
