It always cracks me up how personal problems, financial crisis, or tragic world events are the product of God's presence being removed from this sinful earth.
And how anything good that happens is God showering his blessings or taking care of his people. Or a miracle.
These are the only two explanations.
Is it not possible that there is NO explanation? Or possibly a more intelligent one?
I think this quote explains alot about the logic used though:
"I love President George W. Bush. He is my favorite president of all those during my lifetime. I hope to write a letter to him while still in the White House. I hope that he will be vindicated someday. He may not be perfect, but he has kept us safe since 9/11. I don't believe the problem with the economy is his fault. He has integrity, and does not retaliate against the tirade of criticism against him. Posted by Gabrielle Eden "
WOW.
Amazing. Kept us safe? Economy not his fault? And Integrity? Soon to be former President Bush is the biggest idiot the world has possibly ever seen, and has only been an embarrasment and a danger to us as a nation. I guess the quote above sheds some light on the level of intelligence we are dealing with.

As a Christian collective whole to see Obama as a sign of a more sinful America, to be saddened about him being our next president, to see it as a sign of Judgement - Wow.
I've read quite a bit of Miss Gabrielles blog, http://imfreenow.blogspot.com/. She seems to have quite a lot of issues with abortion and gays. Many of her comments seem to stem from her own guilt - like she can't deal with an abortion that she had, and that she struggles with her own sexuality. If I constantly talk about God it will make me straight, and make the abortion go away. Who knows, and who cares. However, she is always entertaining - in a point and laugh kind of way. Thanks Gabby, for the entertainment.
In the midst of a huge blow up with my mother the other day, while referring to my current financial status and my overdue bills, she told me "I don't know why you do that. You weren't raised like that!!!" My response was "I'm glad I don't live how I was raised."
Every Sabbath, she sits out in the back yard and reads either her Bible of The Desire of Ages. Saturday night through Friday Sunset she yells, and screams, and critisizes, and complains.
I will never live how I was raised.
Didn't have a drink for 6 days. Had a few on Friday with lunch, and they made me totally sick, and really sick right before work that night. It was miserable. Have a feeling it will be longer than six days this time.
Paid my $900 electric bill. Now they are telling me they need another $500 deposit before they can turn it on. Great. A little longer before Tyler is back home with me, and before we are in our own house again. Made a car payment. Car payment is back on track. Still have to get the water and gas and cable back on. In time with hard work.
Every day I work I feel better and realize what a really good job this is. The pay, the benefits, the work conditions on the floor. Its great. It is my first step toward a better life. And I'm enjoying it. I'm doing well and everyone is great there. Finally.
It is my goal to get all of my immediate bills, utilities and such, by the first of the year or shortly after. Then Royce and I are going to go to a credit couselor to have it cleaned up. I think we are finally making a turn for the better. It feels good.
Worked last night, so slept today. The kids had their Fall Festival today so Royce did that with them all day while I slept. I woke up after some really good sleep, hadn't had any alcohol, and woke up feeling really good. The kids were quiet and happy, and there was this weird sense of peace in the house - even with my mom there. Even she was happy and nice. Just a sense of peace in the house and in me. It made going to work ok, and the world ok in general. It was very nice. Just had to write about it. Its kind of a foreign feeling.
On Monday I am going with my mom for her procedure. She will have some sedation and needs someone to be with her. I am driving her, and staying till she is done, and driving her home. All differences and words spoken aside, she is my mom, and I don't mind at all. I like doing it. Thinking about her cancer makes me forget our differences. Makes the anger go away.
