School and HealthCare Reform

I am teaching only Asian students this session. Yesterday, the first unit in the reading textbook was about Johann Gutenburg and the first printing press. I have fond memories of visiting Meinz (sp?), Germany and going through the museum. There was a grinder on the street with his monkey which made us all laugh. I was also reminded of how important the Bible has been to the field of education. Only nations with Christian foundations have tolerated other forms of worship and beliefs. When visiting Beijing, only those of us with foreign passports were allowed to go to a Christian church. We actually had our passports checked at the door by local police. Our driver and tour guide wanted to attend, but had to wait. I felt so bad for them! We gave them our programs and our Bibles.

Everyone agrees that there needs to be HealthCare Reform. If insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies and doctors would not be greedy, health costs would be affordable. We need laws to govern these costs in the same way we have laws to protect us from other crimes. We do not need the government to manage anything else. The US Govt. has shown that Republicans and Democrats alike cannot manage the Post Office, Social Security, and Medicare. Poor people have no reason to complain. There is already Sooner Care and Medicaid. It's the middle class that has to worry about greed.

Because I have a firm faith in the Bible and its prophecies, I believe that there is a very strong possiblity that Obama and his followers will pass many new and dangerous laws in Congress. Our citizens are refusing to read the warning signs and America will continue to lose its power and influence. Many people are not heeding the signs and marching toward the cliff because the "bridge has always been there." There will come a time when God will take His hand off of America because we are turning our backs on Him. You are either for God or against Him. I have seen many people my age breaking Satan's chains in just the last few months. Without God, we are left with a feeling of being tired and discouraged. Yet, we are restless and hunger for something better because the peace of God has not been allowed to fill the gap.
