Why to not worry or freak

Why worry or freak? If you know Jesus as Lord and Savior, then you can trust God and pray about anything with assurance. He'll guide you and put on your heart what to do and everything else He will cover. When we pray about it He covers it as well in just the right way. We do not see the big picture and people are not robots so the solutions are not as pretty or nice as we would like; but the fact always remains that God has it covered and justice will ultimately prevail. Ahhhh! That is better than Calgon. It is the rest of God balanced with us working on what He leads us to do.

Socialism Analogy

An economics professor at Texas Tech said he had never failed a single student before but had, once, failed an entire class. That class had insisted that socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer. The professor then said ok, we will have an experiment in this class on socialism.



All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A. After the first test the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy. But, as the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too; so they studied little.. The second test average was a D! No one was happy. When the 3rd test rolled around the average was an F.



The scores never increased as bickering, blame, name calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else. All failed, to their great surprise, and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great; but when government takes all the reward away; no one will try or want to succeed.



Could not be any simpler than that…

Lower Credit Card Interest Rates

Yesterday on the news a lady said that 75% of people who ask for a lower rate on their credit cards get it. She said a part of the reason for this is that credit card companies realize you could transfer the balances and pay a lower interest. People can pay their debt and stay out of it. Take action! =)
