Love is humanity's killer app

Love is what makes it all possible. Love is what makes us strive, build and create.

Without Love, our species would've been wiped out millennia ago.

Love is humanity's killer app.

Check it out great stuff that aligns with the way I want to live my life.

People are getting way to wealthy?

Sen. Max Baucus (D): "Too often, much of late, the last couple three years the mal-distribution of income in America is gone up way too much, the wealthy are getting way, way too wealthy, and the middle income class is left behind. Wages have not kept up with increased income of the highest income in America. This legislation will have the effect of addressing that mal-distribution of income in America."

I started my own business in a 8x10 office rented from a good friend, I worked as many hours a day as it took and still do to get the work done. That little office has grown into my own building, 4 other full time team members and the opportunity to oversee almost 100 million dollars of investments for my clients.

If I or anyone else is willing to take on that kind of challenge why should there be a limit on what I can earn?

Donna and I have committed time, talent and treasure to those who have not been as fortunate, for those who life has dealt a bad hand.

But don't tell me that I am limited by someone else's decision that I earn too much. I say work hard, build your own business and if you take on that risk you should be rewarded. It is those who are taking that risk, the risk of their financial future everyday who make this country great.

Macy

It is crazy how life comes and goes.

We lost a great, great friend yesterday.

One of our family dogs, the beautiful Macy, died yesterday. She was a beauty to the eye ... more than anything she was a beautiful spirit, just a beautiful spirit.

I am so glad we were able to get the extra few weeks we had with her. She was a blessing to everyone who came in contact with her.

What an athlete, she was the best athlete of us all.

Thank you God for the time we had with her and thank you God for the peace that she left us.

I love you puppy, we all love you!

Holy Cow, Batman!

Wow, I leave town for a few days to go watch the NCAA wrestling tournament with my "posse" and this what happens!!!

You guys have to do a better job of controlling the government.

Here is a great analysis by Victor David Hansen;

"Obama has thrown down the gauntlet, and is trying to reify the sloganeering of the 1960s. He apparently reasons along the following lines: that centrist talk was campaign fluff; the voters fell for it, and now it’s his turn to remake America with 51% of the House and 44% of the people. Think Sweden, or, better, Greece as our model at home, and something like America as Brazil in matters of foreign policy."

Sometimes I feel like a chump, sometimes I don't.

We’ve Crossed the Rubicon

An Interesting dichtomy

I was attending a Catholic Charities Finance Council meeting this morning.

I can't get over my sense that as our country has become more secular and people don't want to mention God in any context that our government has looked to faith based communities to step into the void.

A void created by the current and future budget crisis.

As we discussed new programs that we are being asked to help I realized that with out the faith based communities there would be no one to take up the slack.

I'm grateful that we have as much as we do and I do feel a "need" to help.

So I guess the real answer for me personally is,

Jeff ... stop bitching, be grateful!

‘They Just Want This Over’

‘They Just Want This Over’ - Robert Costa - The Corner on National Review Online

I greatly admire Mr. Stupak and his efforts to be sure that abortions are not paid for in this Health bill. Frankly, I want this ordeal over with too. I can not accept abortion as something we support with this legislation.

I know that there are circumstances where a couple makes a mistake, there is a health issue or God forbid, a pregnancy because of a rape. In our country I can not tell some one how to handle this issue.

That sad, I am personally against abortion and Donna and I have on more than one occasion offered to take a child that was in danger of being aborted. Thank God, in every case the child was born and today is the apple of someones eye.

Abortions are not contraception.

Personal responsibility is to often abandoned in our lives.

This Health bill should not make the decision to use my tax dollars to pay for abortions.

Maybe those that want to provide for this option could check a box on their tax return to give the government a dollar of two to choose to support abortions.

I know that this is a difficult problem for all of us and there is a difference of opinion, an honest difference of opinion. A difference we need to respect as our right in America.
