GOD himself doesn’t propose to judge a person until they’re dead, so why should you?

“You can stand tall without standing on someone. You can be a victor without having victims.”

One day your life will flash before your eyes.  Make sure it’s worth watching!

“In the long run the pessimist may be proved right, but the optimist has a better time on the trip!”

- Daniel L. Reardon

“Much may be done in those little shreds and patches of time which every day produces, and which most…throw away. “

- Charles Caleb Colton

Have a great week, and be sure to make the most of the time available to you!

“Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we might win, by fearing to attempt.”

~ William Shakespeare

Thanks to Mark Russ for dredging up this nugget.

“The forces that are for you are greater than the forces that are against you!”

- Joel Osteen

“All tyranny needs to gain a foothold, is for people of good conscience to remain silent. “

- Thomas Jefferson

On this fourth day of July, as we celebrate our nation’s independence, let us remember those who toiled and sacrificed (in many cases their very lives) to light the lamp of liberty, establishing The United States of America!  In doing so, let us also resolve to stand up with the same righteous spirit, the same fortitude, and vigilantly safeguard our freedoms so that we may remain an in-dependent rather than dependent society.

Yes I’m being political…and here’s further commentary from Mr. Jefferson to underscore just how far our bureaucratic assembly in D.C. has strayed from this country’s original charter.

“A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.”

Will you go quietly as tyranny storms ashore, or will you take a stand as this great country’s founders did and say, “don’t tread on me!?”

By the way Tyr-an-ny:

- arbitrary or unrestrained exercise of power; despotic abuse of authority.

Is that not Washington, D.C.?  Let’s fix it, an office at a time, a legislator at a time, and in the process…let us not lose sight of the FREEDOMS that inspired generations before us!

(Cue the fireworks!)
