It starts with a thought…

When you reach the end of your life, do you want to be one of the people who are glad they did, or one of the people who wish they had?

Energy crisis over? Oil may become obsolete!

Whispers of a Child's Love

A child's love is like a whisper,
If you listen very closely
this is what you'll hear.

Daddy, will you play with me?
Mommy, tie my shoe?

They often do not say it loud,
but in how they come to you...

Dad, I made the team today!
Mom, I got an "A".

They grow up in a hurry,
listen carefully to the whispers,
they come in a flurry.

Pop, I need some money,
You see there's...this girl at school.
Mama, I met a boy today
and Wow, he's so cool!

Dad, I've got something to tell you...
I think she is the one!
Mom, he asked me to marry him.
Would you love him as your son?

Dad, I've got some news for you...
It's going to be a boy!
Mom, I'm kind of scared of this,
yet I'm filled with joy!

A child's love is like a whisper,
If you listen very closely
this is what you'll hear.

Grandpa, will you play with me?
Grandma, tie my shoe?

They often do not say it loud,
but in how they come to you...

These special little whispers
are a blessing from above.

Having fun is not a monopoly!

Where do I get me one of these?

While I'm on the subject of taxes...

I find the irony of living and working in America in the 21st century quite disturbing. American dollars have disappeared and been redistributed to other countries and to the ultra-weathly elite, while small business and the working class suffer terribly.

People are jobless, homeless and becoming dependent on an ever increasing, self-feeding government machine bent on dominating every aspect of American life and liberty. There is nothing they don’t have their hands in; regulating, taxing and controlling not only Americans, but other countries as well.

Our government is borrowing and spending $1.9 trillion more than they take in this year. That’s $6,000 for every man, woman and child living here. I wonder how much it will be next year?

Only 47% of working Americans will pay federal income tax this year. That means 53% of Americans get federal services for no charge, compliments of future taxpaying Americans, since presently we just don’t have it.

Politicians today are the most morally bankrupt in our nation’s history. They lie, cheat, steal, bribe, extort and deceive without the slightest amount of guilt and remorse. All of them, Democrats and Republicans, take the high road that is leading us to poverty.

Democrats seem to pilfer the country faster and differently than Republicans, but don’t kid yourself, for the last 20 years, both parties’ actions are responsible for the position we’re in today.

Enjoy your weekend on the lake or golf course; maybe the park or a movie; dinner out or a quiet evening at home. No prosperity has ever been permanent, so enjoy it while you can.
