The Purpose of Money

The purpose of money is not to have money. The purpose of money is to give you the financial ability to pursue your dreams.

My New Year's Resolutions

I don't usually make New Year's Resolutions, but this year I decided to make an exception. My New Year's Resolutions To laugh more To love more To spend more time with my family To spend more time with my friends To grow into a closer relationship with God To relax more To stop and smell the flowers more To have more fun If I can accomplish just these things throughout this year, I will consider this year to have been a success. Here's wishing you and yours the very best and most prosperous year ever!

A Time of Tempest

That we are in a time of tempest cannot be denied. All that remains is the reason why.

Bold minds will seek the truth even if the truth is without their common and/or understood experience, and even if their imaginations are too meager to fully comprehend the depths of the truth they discover.

George Bush and friends seem intent upon introducing the New World Order regardless of the deprivation and degradation of the principles and rights which are the foundation upon which this nation was founded.

The Imperial presidency has come at last, as perhaps, it must always come eventually to nations which experiment with democracy and inalienable rights from a Divine Creator.

To forestall our fall into the deathgrip of authoritarianism which could slip into totalitarianism upon the American continent, we need a new revolution.

This revolution must be as counter to the mainstream as was the cultural revolution of the 1960's. It must be as productive as that revolution was with love, peace and music filling the air and the hearts and souls of those who would walk the path of a different drum.

This new revolution must also be a spiritual revolution, for we are a nation adrift without the foundation our Founding Fathers gave us - a nation founded upon the Gospel of Jesus - a Christian nation - born in battle, inspired by principle and dedicated to the promises of equality and self-determination for all.

That we have allowed our government to trample us and use us and rule as slaves is no fault of our government but only the fault of the people, who have allowed themselves - ourselves - to be led like cattle with rings in the noses.

It is never too late to turn about, to stand up for our rights. It is never too late to do what is right. It is never too late for the truth.

There are many who have blazed a path before us - Martin Luther King, Robert Kennedy, JFK. All had the courage to sit at the front of the bus when the back of the bus was their "rightful place." All had the courage to make known their hopes, dreams and vision of what could be. "Some people see things as they are and ask, why? I see things as they could be, and ask, why not?"

We stand upon a threshold in American history. We stand at two open doors. One leads to a bold future filled with light and promise. The other leads to a dark, dead end street piled with the garbage of decayed minds, the odor of violence and the depression of lost dreams.

George Bush stands beside one of these doors. To determine which door he stands beside we need to look at an ancient Chinese proverb: "To know the character of a small man, look at what he does. To know the character of a leader, look at his lieutenents."

I fear that most people will be unable to discern the truth. For I know that most people will ignore facts which are contrary to their preset beliefs dismissing such facts as irrevelant or erroneous or by simply ignoring them.

The future of our nation and that of our children and possibly the whole world lies in your hands. It is up to you to speak the truth. It is up to you to do what is right. It is up to you to do what is bold. It is up to you to do.

"For evil to win requires only that good men do nothing."

Don't do nothing. Be bold. Live Your dreams. Think for yourself. Do what is right.
