I am not permitting parents….

I am not permitting parents to opt students from viewing the president’s message, since this is a purely educational event.” -Dr. Arthur Tate Jr., Superintendent of Schools, Tempe Elementary School District Number 3, Arizona Hmm.  Not permitting?  Just who do the kids in your school district belong to, their parents, or to the state? The White House dismisses criticism (they do that all the time these days) from parents who object to the idea of their children being forced to watch the President’s speech on education this coming Tuesday.  As an educator, I am all FOR encouraging children on the … Continue reading I am not permitting parents….

Whatever seems right in their eyes

everfaith

My brother called me today and asked why it’s been over three weeks since my last blog.  I actually did write a blog last week but ended up deleting it.  I’ve been having some pain (sometimes severe) in my left hand which makes typing undesirable.  But my daily Bible readings have given me endless ideas on scriptures I need to write about.  Hopefully my hand pain will subside soon so that I can write more often again. Last night I dreamed about idols.  Not the American singers, but the kind that people used to make and worship.  It’s not really … Continue reading Whatever seems right in their eyes

Next time, Read the Bill. TEA: Taxed … Continue reading Give me liberty…not debt

Note to self: accept a bail-out only if prepared to give up freedom

everfaith

Not much time to post on this breezy Monday in almost-April…but this article in today’s Dallas Morning News certainly got my attention. If you’re going to take Uncle Sam’s hand-out, you better be prepared to trade in your freedom to make your own decisions.  Even though, technically, we ARE Uncle Sam, I certainly didn’t have anything to do with firing GM’s CEO.  Did you? If the company had been allowed to fail and enter bankruptcy proceedings (which it may still do despite over 16 billion big ones belonging to the taxpayers), the CEO probably would have been ousted anyway.  It’s … Continue reading Note to self: accept a bail-out only if prepared to give up freedom

Who Owns You?

everfaith

This graphic appeared today on FoxNews.com: May the Lord please grant us mercy!  We reap what we sow (as we learn in Proverbs), and the borrower is servant to the lender.  With so many restrictions on religious freedom in China, our country’s lender, I pray our lawmakers will not spend us into slavery. But the only One who owns me personally…my heart, my soul, my mind, and my strength…is Jesus Christ. Continue reading Who Owns You?
