Church Government and Tithing - Biblical Perspectives on Government

I find church government very interesting, especially in comparison to America's modern, two party political system. There are no parties. There are not a set amount of elected positions and candidates do not run against each other. The leadership acts as stewards and servants of the congregation. There are no taxes, so the system works entirely on donations. Church membership is required for participation in business meetings and voting, but membership does not require donations either.… Continue

T-Shirts

So I've Discovered a new passion, T-shirt Design. A couple of my friends suggested that I submit an entry to Shirt.Woot.com and I have really taken a liking the the whole Genre, if that's the right word. The only thing is that they don't give out requests often enough, like once a week.

So, what I was thinking was that you guys, Who ever is actually reading this, might be able to give me some requests, anything I make for you guys, I will gladly post and if you want to make some actual… Continue

Un-democracy at work- don't throw away your vote or become disenfranchised!

I know this is long, but meh... My powers of circumlocution are impeccable.

I'm a patriot and believer in the Platonic forms of our Constitution and government, meaning there are theoretical ideals towards which we should strive, but which we will never be able to reach because of the imperfection(s) of humanity and this world we live in- as soon as people get physically involved, both get corrupted and lose some of that beauty and Goodness. I believe participation is… Continue

Why Undecideds are Undecided and Why This is a Problem: MAKE UP UR MINDZ!

(I have been working on this sporadically for a few days, so coherence may be lacking... Patience, friends: it's a virtue.)

The undecided voters are always the ones that get pandered to the most when push comes to shove and the elections are getting closer and closer. And if you think about it, the methods have little to nothing to do with the real issues, like health care, foreign or energy policy, taxes, jobs, etc. No, what gets played up to them are personality issues like what… Continue

How Stupid Are We?

My friend Anita shared this book/website with me - and so I'm sharing it with all of you because it's awesome:

http://hnn.us/HowStupidAreWe/book.html

I hear so many stupid things being reported as "news" - and I'm not media-bashing, here, I'm talking about people in forums, being interviewed on NPR, in blogs... people get a fleeting impression, it fits with their idea of how it must be, and then before… Continue

YEESH!! 'Twas Only a Dream, But Seriously...

I hate to add a disclaimer, but here it is. This is somewhat political, but I'm not trying to preach to anyone. I'm venting because need to vent and this is my blog, so why not here? If you disagree, I'd be more than happy to discuss and debate, but only if it's civil, stays on topic, and not just "I disagree" things but actual reasoning.

I woke up at 4:30 this morning, seriously in a panic and unable to breathe. I had to check, I just had to. I nearly fell out of the bed as I… Continue

A Political Rant- Ignore If You Don't Like Politics

After seeing Hank's new video, I couldn't hold it in anymore and needed to rant. I posted this on a note in Facebook, but I may as well copy-paste it here.

I'm so sick of Obama, and I was sick of him a year or so ago. At least over the summer. But I think even before that.

I'd like to ask what specific policy he has talked about that is better

than Hillary's. If you compare them, they're barely different at all.

Listen carefully to how they talk. They say… Continue

Happy voting, US neighbours!

As a Canadian I'd just like to say thank you to every American who exercises their right to vote.

Former Canadian PM, Pierre Trudeau once said, "Americans should never underestimate the constant pressure on Canada which the mere presence of the United States has produced. We're different people from you and we're different people because of you. Living next to you is in some ways like sleeping with an elephant. No matter how friendly and even-tempered is the beast, if I can call it… Continue

Voting Day!

I love voting!! I get all happy and sentimental and patriotic and love everyone I see at my polling place. It doesn't matter if they are voting the same way I am - they are participating in democracy, and this is a wonderful thing.

I could have gotten an absentee ballot, in fact we thought we would have to, since my husband had a training in Southern California originally scheduled for this week, but we ended up rescheduling that and getting to vote in person. There is…
