Fall weather/New Floor/MiddleEast/School

Fall weather has arrived.  That means cool mornings and evenings, and warm in the daytime.  We had a few days of gentle rain that we all enjoyed!  Bill and I were especially glad for the rain.  When we had the new floor put in our kitchen, the workmen put their materials on the front lawn in 105 temperature heat.  The chemicals killed the grass where the materials were laid out.  Cute!  Anyway, the rain and some sun mixed together are reviving the damaged area.  We have forgiven.

Bill and I are in the 5th week of our 8 week on-line class.  We take turns laughing and being frustrated with some of his students.  How did they ever finish high school!!  Our government is throwing money away.  These people should have never been given scholarships! 

Since The Lanugage Company has moved to Ada, Oklahoma, Bill has been teaching with one other teacher at SGU.  He is teaching 5 students who did not want to move until the end of this session.  Some like the homestays that they have, and one student only had this one session left before graduation. 

We have been watching the MiddleEast unrest on television.  We were patting ourselves on the back because Americans don't destroy their own cities.  However, the Occupy Wallstreet crowd are made of the same fabric it seems.  To date. 7,000 arrests have been made and they are gearing up to commit more crimes.  As one commentator reported, the Occupiers just want "free crap".  They don't respect themselves or anyone else. 

Last week, Mom came over for lunch and we talked about places we had been together.  She said she wished that every American could have seen Eastern Germany before the wall was torn down.  I agreed with her.  Those were the saddest people I had ever met!  As we drove through the city, we were stopped every few miles to have our papers checked.  We could only get food at the hotel because you had to have tickets to get food in the stores.  Every car was tiny and looked just the same.   There was nothing to buy, so we brought our left over marcs home with us.  While touring the tower where Martin Luther threw his inkwell at the "devil",  a young student asked me quietly what the United States was like.  I never dreamed that we would have a president that wanted America to be socialist and take away from the rich to give to the poor. 

One can give everyone the same amount of money every year, and there would still be poor people.  We all deal with what we have been given differently.  Some are wise, and some don't know the value.  I was thinking about a friend who was given a car when he was in college.  Because it was given to him, he was not independent.  His parent could take away the keys at anytime.  In contrast, my brothers earned the money and bought their own cars.  No one could take away the keys.  They were free!  There is a true feeling of independence and freedom when you do things for yourself.  I want the government to serve me, not me serve the government because I owe them! 

Fear and lack of confidence causes people to rely on the government.  When people fear enough, the one world system will take over and the 666 can rule - just as the Bible predicts.  How close are we to that day?
