Good Morning

Well...today is Wednesday, December 15, 2010...

So many things to comment on...

We learned the other day that the President's wife, who seems to be on mission to make sure that everyone eats healthily (and nothing inherently wrong with that), has now stated that the children of america must be watched over by the government because "We just can't leave it to the parents"...Yes, you heard that correctly...The President's wife does not trust moms and dads across America to feed their children with healthy food...Unbelievable...speaking of health...A federal Judge in Virginia has ruled that the Obamacare legislation is unconstitutional...the idea that the government can require a person to buy health insurance in order to be a citizen of the United States is unbelieveable...One of the arguments FOR this legislation is comparing it to auto insurance, where most states require people to have auto insurance in order to drive on the states roads...however, you don't have to purchase auto insurance to be a citizen of the state, just to drive a car...some places like New York City have people who have never even had a drivers license, much less a car and auto insurance, so the comparison is not valid...
The new tax deal that is working its way through Congress...how is this bill going to add to the deficit? The reality is that by not raising taxes, the Status Quo is maintained...its not like the taxes were cut, although a tax cut will spur economic growth and actually INCREASE revenues...The problem with small businesses not hiring people is the uncertainty with the tax issue...when government increases the taxes on small businesses, they respond by hiring less people and making less investments...

Finally...The Christmas Season reminds us that "In the Fullness of Time" God intervened into human history by sending His One and Only Son into this world to redeem mankind...Jesus Christ was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life...He was put to death on a cruel Roman Cross, shedding his precious blood to pay the penalty for our sin and he rose again on the third day from the dead!...The Bible tells us that if we will believe that he is God's Son, that He died for our sin, that He rose from the dead and repent of our sin, God will save us! The Bible says that "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" That includes me and you my friends; however, in His grace, God will save us if we repent and believe...If you have any questions about this, please comment or leave a question here...
God Bless You!
