We the Morons

Elder’s Meditation of the Day
“Keep your life simple because the more you get, the more complicated it becomes.”
–Joe Coyhis, STOCKBRIDGE-MUNSEE
The old ones say, lead a simple life. The society we live in is all about getting more houses, cars, luxury and credit cards. The law of worry says, the more you have, the more you need to worry. You get a house, then you need insurance, then you need to take care of the yard and the list goes on. Next, you may want a bigger house with a bigger yard which costs more in insurance. Along with the accumulation of materialism, are other “gifts.” Soon you become a slave and the materialism owns you. Lead a simple life and have peace of mind. Lead a simple life and be spiritual.

Creator, let my foundation be spiritual and simple.

I Live!  I know it’s been a long time since I’ve written anything.  Have a lot I’m not gonna talk about.  Have a little I might talk about, after my nap.  Just got home this morning at 5:00 am from down around Richmond, VA.  Shoulda been home about 6:00 pm, but pooh happened, only cost me a hundred extra miles.

 

I wish my truck had a cassette player in it so I could plug my Zune into it.  I would rather listen to music than the political retoric on the radio anymore,  Just glad Coast to Coastlast night wasn’t about political crap, not sure how much longer the duct tape holding my head together is gonna last.  I mean I’ve already got blood squirting out my eyeballs from the regurgitated talking points on both sides of the isle when it comes to Democreeps and Ratpublicans.  I wish beyond a doubt that there would one day be a legitimate third or even forth party that has a ‘real’ chance of ever getting elected.  One’s that doesn’t think they are Thomas Jefferson reincarnated or a bunch of hop heads with guns.

I have been reading the “Federalist Papers” and find it amazing how the people who helped found this country are so different in ideology than the current morons we have elected. I find it also disconcerting that the people of the United States base their entire hope of the future of this nation bases on the next President when the Congress are the ones so screwing up everything.  The House and Senate are where the laws come from, they are the ones who really screw this up for us all.

And then there is this bailout thing . . . . it’s the same thing that cause the depression to ast 10 years instead of 1 year.  All that’s gonna happen is “we the people” are gonna get screwed into higher taxes again.  I think it’s time to kick all their butts out of Washington, pass a law that says NO Lawyers can hold a goverenment office at any time and return to a goverment of “we the people.” 

Peace, TCWF

Another day in the eternity of this life

Elder’s Meditation of the Day
“Those who live for one another learn that love is the bond of perfect unity.”
–Fools Crow, LAKOTA
To serve each other, to respect each other, to trust each other, to honor each other, to love each other, to cooperate with each other, to care for each other, to forgive one another, to focus on peoples’ good, to laugh with one another, to learn from one another; to pray for each other – these are all acts of love. These values and actions will connect us to one another in the Unseen World. Nature is a good example of how we should get along with one another. Watch nature. She is our teacher. Nature lives to give to one another. The insects give to the birds who give to the four legged who give to the two legged. The Creator made all things perfect.

Oh Great Spirit, let me serve the people today. Let me see that it is better to give than it is to receive. Be with me today.

Yes, I am still alive.

Finished watching the HBO mini series John Adams this past week.  I’m still wondering how that “Federalist” Party ever turned into the current Democrat craziness.   So I’ve begun to read the “Federalist Papers” (only 400 pages in the free pdf file I found) to try and understand.  For in the words of Jack Ryan in the movie ‘Hunt for Red October’ “It is wise to study the ways of one’s adversary.  Don’t you think?” I’m not sure who exactly I’m going to vote for yet, but I know it won’t be for a Democrat, maybe not Republican either.  Guess I need some extra strong duct tape and a clothes pin for my nose on election day.  I mean seriously, if Obama and McCain are the best this country has to offer as our representative to the rest of the world . . . . we are screwed.

 

One other thing I’ve read recently are the Articles of Confederation of these United States, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America.

Work is the same old thing, I’ve been doing the same run for getting close to 5 years.  My truck is a ‘05 model, next week I will surpass the 400,000 mile mark.  I think I have about 227 to go to get there right now.  I got this truck in Sept of ‘05 and it had about 34,000 miles on it then.  It has it’s issues but eh, it’s a truck, if I ever get to loving it just kill me . . . LOL  I never want to get to the place where I like being at work in my truck more than other places.

Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it. Proverbs 22:6

Our acts of love, speak more vividly to the hearts of those around us, than our words. The impact our lives have on others, is found in our day to day activities, and the way we handle and respond to everyday situations. Our children are no exception. The opinions and character formed in them are a result of our actions more than our words. It is these seemingly small, everyday things that have the greatest impact in their lives. If we will continue to seek Creator as our example, He will enable us to be good examples to our children. When children have a firm foundation in the ways and word of God, they will not be easily uprooted and the storms of life will not consume them. They will have the ability to stand strong in our Creator.

Allow my life to be a blessing and example to my children and to all those who know me. Create me in Your image and enable me to live the example of Your word, so that my actions will speak Your love and truth.

I have met only a few people in my life who have taught me more about myself than 1000 people ever could, James Ott,  Aurther Cannon, Peter Miller, and A. Rueben Hartwick.  One was in the military with me, one a preacher and two college professors.  Three are dead now, not sure about the forth.

Hope everyone has a great weekend and week

Peace
