June 22, 2002 journal, living with stress, guilt and anxiety, decisions, it could of been very different. The graveyard is filled with young and old people, with rich and people. Death is all alike but are those people dead? Affluence is no virtue. Modesty is more of a virtue.
The Chinese say "long life, Good health and plenty of money". What if everything was free with no fences or locks on stores? What if all the land was yours? Would you fence it in?
Are we surprised to learn that this is the Christian way. The 1st. gold discovery in Alaska
was said to be placed out in front of the man's eglue with a sign saying take some. "The best things in life are free". The air we breathe is free. Salvation is free for all eternity. We are God's creation and God owns the cattle on a thousand hills. No man owns any land, the government has decreed their power and taxation over all land here and in most all of nations but they do not own it either. God owns the Thousand Hills and all the valleys in the world. God owns the galaxies in space forever and ever. Would any body dare to doubt the existence of Almighty God? "A fool says in his heart, there is no God" Psalms
when we bring our lives in harmony with God and his Commandments, we make progress. If we live outside the grace of God we live in a devil's world in despair and without hope.
Turn our defeats into even greater rewards by faith in God, by fasting and constant prayer.
I have looked up Buckminster Fuller and am surprised at what I see that he has a Bible College in California and on and on his creations and his accomplishments are endless. I will include some excerpts from the Web in tomorrow's journal. Just ask for "Fuller" on google.com and you get pages of space technology and the life of Westminster Fuller.
The birds that sing outside my window never sing sad to reveal their uncertain existence. Their shirking never includes stress or concern even for those of them that fall in the way. The birds brighten the morning and serve mankind with wonderful sounds, the birds like us of God's creation but we need to be careful and shirking what the birds making sound.
All my life I have worked like a dog and know nothing else. I'm learning that it takes time to be smart and the smart thing to do is to put God first in all but we do. I am thine Lord, I have heard thy voice. I need prayer and I need to pray right now the God would take the burden away and show me a better day. We make our bed and we must sleep in it.
What is wrong with this world? It is overtaxed. Both remaining candidates for governor
promise to lower tax, one in seven years and one in 18 years from now. While they are lowering taxes they are raising taxes and in any case hard-working individuals get the ax.
it is hopeless to think of employeeing people under today's payroll taxes with the employer paying half the Social Security tax are doubling what the employee pays. on top of this the outrageous medical insurance. Both worker and employer are struggling to keep up with all the taxes and rules as they are regulated. Working on any job is an endless cycle with tax on top of tax coming out of the workers wages. The workers are enslaved more than they realize to the government and the banks that are regulated by the government. Under the present system and without any other crisis, the payroll system in this country is down and doomed in short order. Politicians make me sick because they do not address the real problems that plague this nation. Most are not acquainted with reality in a genuine sense.
I pray God for strength to go on to meet my obligations to God and family. Give me thy grace Dear Lord I pray to think on the future and not the past, to be more perfect in life.
I feel a divine flow in my soul like the water of life and the healing virtue of God's power. I feel a miracle coming on. I see victory ahead of this contrary world. I see the vultures as history and I know the power of the throne of God. I know the end is near to all this.
Let me rest now Lord but to rise again to a new day in a sanctified world of thy creation.
