Last weekend was very productive. Steven chopped down a dead tree, picked up limbs that had fallen from tropical storm Gustav, worked in the yard and on his truck. My Mom and Dad came over to visit and help figure out what is wrong with Steven's truck. We had a good visit. Yesterday, I met Mom and Sarah in Eureka for the day. It was a really good day. We found some great buys at the thrift stores.
In the next 50 or so days, we have great reason to be seeking God in prayer concerning the presidential election. There is much controversy and two schools of thought on economics and the role of government. I, for one, do not want a society that depends on the government to provide everything for them, for then the government has the power to take everything away. Nor do I want a socialist-minded society where those who earn more money must give to ones who earn less. That is income re-distribution! Do I believe in giving to the poor? Yes! But, giving out of my obedience to God, not required by our "democratic" government. Where would be the motivation for people to work, strive, earn if they will be handed income by the government? Didn't Russia try this? Prayerfully consider your vote.
