The text of my last ten Facebook Posts.

This is the texts of my last ten Facebook Status posts, now listed in the proper order that they were meant to be. I know that this will make me a lot of enemies, but I needed to say it.

Although I stand for the basic freedoms for which this country stands, there is a trend that has come to disturb me deeply about this land. It deals with one of the basic forces which has founded this country, and that is Greed. Prove to me that putting more money and power into the hands of the Private Sector will not go into the hands of the wealthy owners which control it.

There needs to be a reform in the way that we spend our tax dollars-and I say WE, very intentionally, because I am as guilty as anyone else of how it is spent. We need to stop thinking about what is best for me, but rather what is best for all of us, rich and poor, of all races and creeds, philosophies and ideals, not just ME. If we don't like it, we need to roll up our sleeves and change it.

For instrance, if we do not like how things are done in the schools, how many of us take the time to go to our knees and pray in repentrance for the situation, and then support the teachers and others who are stuck with it through no fault of their own.We spend our time yelling about how bad things are, but we do not seek the help of the One who can change the situation, and we forget His Mandate to care for the poor and the needy among us who are trying to make ends meet in an honest fashion but have been cursed with Unemployment and poverty. This needs to change.

We need to care for our neighbors, even though we do not act like they do, or think like they do, or if we do not like what they are doing. Jesus died for them just as much as He died for the bodies that fill the pews of our churches; but whaat are we doing to reach them? What am i doing to reach them?  I have had a chance in the last few years to fight for the Unborn and the poor, and I have had more than a few opportunities to taste poverty myself. I have endured the snubs and the treatment that a lot of them have experienced firsthand.

Capitalism is great, Capitalism is wonderful if you have the Capital to make it work, BUT NOT ON A PLASTIC CARD!!! Our Credit Cards have kept a lot of us living at a place where we should not be. We ALL need to learn how to live within our means, and that inclides the US as a whole, but we cannot continue to lie to ouselves or to the world as to our state. We need to seek God, just as they did in 1776, for what HIS Unbiased Will is for this nation (and we naturally tend to put our biases on what God wants for this nation), irregardless of what it will cost our little group, and to look at the bigger picture. We need to look at what this is going to cost us and our children and grandchildren. We need to think of all of this in light of what it will cost them.

Jeff Lilley once said, that "the only reason that we think that the United States is the greatest nation on earth is that we live there" (Hume Lake Spring Singles' Conference, March 1999). I tend to agree with him. I appreciate this land, and I have dear friends and my Children who are serving this land in her Armed Forces.and are serving their families right now as Chaplains and Missionaries.

With all of that said, I am humbled to be an American, and not ashamed of it. But I can never be a member of the Tea Party or support what it stands, and I will never, EVER be a Redneck.
