Wake Up

Have you ever woken up and wondered were it all has gone? I am talking about time, one day you are twenty years old and think you have all the time in the world to accomplish all the wonderful things a twenty year old dreams about doing. Then life seems to get in the way and you make choices to go down that road and take that fork along the way and all the sudden you are now fifty years old and looking back you ask yourself where did it all go? Time, the precious commodity that you can never get back. I spent my first fifty years pleasing myself and and accomplishing very little that I can truly pass along as my legacy. My children deserve better than just a piece of land, a few dollars or some cloths, they should be able to see the accomplishments of a person who lived to make a difference. I looked through a few blog friends of my wife's, this morning and came across one with an obituary of her granny, I wondered what people would put in mine, maybe he lived a so-so life, touched very few and died from selfishness? I believe in a future blog I am going to try to write my own obituary. I will write it the way I would like it to read and then for the very, very short time I have left on this earth, I hope I can please God by living it out.

unemployed,but not umemployable

The statement used to be that everyone knew someone who either has had or died of cancer, the statement today seems to be that everyone knows someone that has lost their job, business, home or cars. I really do not know many people that are not "financially challenged" today and for our household both my wife and I have lost our jobs. I have laid awake nights and thought maybe if I had done this or been better at that, well after two months and several of my friends losing jobs, I have handed this and everything else in my life over to God. I still have several questions that I know will never get answered, but here they are: am I sure if President Obama is doing the right things? My answer to that is I am not sure, in my experiences in life it is very hard to give something to the people at the top and watch it trickle down to the bottom, where it is needed the most. When you use this process the ones on the bottom always get the least and it is mostly crap that is left. But in saying this the most serious and troublesome question I have is for President Bush, you say all this coming and you did nothing, I thought we elected you to help us and take care of us, as our President?
I do not know where all this will lead us, but I do know that if we do not elect more true Christian politicians regardless of party or color to help lead this country in a Godly way, more of this will be in our future. Please leave your comments and feelings, I would love to know if I am the only one who feels this way?
