From my personal experience and from every anecdotal evidence I have heard and read, no one has ever spent themselves into prosperity. So why do Obama, Pelosi, Reid and the other liberal Dem congresscritters think the federal goverment can spend the country into prosperity? If anyone spent like the government plans on spending per this stimulus bill (incidentally none of those who voted for it actually READ it) they would be in debt for life. So why should we expect any different result if the government does it? It didn’t work under FDR and it won’t work under BHO. This cockamamie scheme just goes against standard common sense. Furthermore, Obama stated clearly that the stimulus bill doesn’t have any earmarks but that turned out to be a lie because it’s LOADED with earmarks hence the nickname “PORKULUS.” The other major problem I have with it is that it was unecessarily hurried through with no committee hearings, no debate, no discussion and most importantly no careful scrutiny of its contents. I seem to recall advice being pounded into America’s conscience that one should ALWAYS read any contract carefully BEFORE signing any legal document. Although it’s arguable whether congress is populated with intelligent people, one would THINK that congresscritters would want to at least read through such a major bill affecting the country which has the potential of doing irreparable harm to the country. Well, the libs in congress who are all in the back pocket of the Pelosi/Obama machine all just took Obama’s word for it (remember folks, Obama assured us there were no earmarks {e.g. — pork} in this bill — but there’s a lot) and passed it because Obama frightened the libs and much of the gullible in the country into believing it was imperitive to pass it immediately without finding out what was in it and what it would do to the country. How freakin’ irresponsible! I see more long-term harm coming from this than help.

After a cold front moved through the area on Thursday causing major thunderstorms and even tornados, it’s getting colder. Again. Not as bad as a cold snap we had earlier this year but the local meteorologists are predicting temperatures dropping to the mid-20’s Saturday morning. I guess I’m covering the outside plants one more time. But today marks another Open Trackback Friday once again. It is your opportunity to share interesting blog entries from your blog by using this blog’s trackback feature. Many people, including myself enjoy reading a variety of material from other people’s blogs, so link your post to this one, send a trackback to it and it’ll appear in the comments section after I manually approve it. I still approve all comments & trackbacks manually due to spam bots so it won’t show up immediately, but I will get to it as soon as I can. I am still using myself as the ultimate spam filter but now have the aid of an excellent trackback filter. To obtain the trackback URL simply rightclick where it says “trackback” below and then click on “copy shortcut” to get it. That’s all there is to it! And thank you in advance for trackbacking to my blog. And while you’re here, please take some time to look at some articles I’ve posted. Maybe you’ll find something interesting. If you do, trackback to it as well.

It wasn’t unexpected but the New Orleans Saints released running back Deuce McAllister on Tuesday. His release puts the Saints under the $123 million salary cap. Saints fans are disappointed and saddened by the news since McAllister was a fan favorite. However McAllister remains upbeat. “I still have the itch to play,” he said. McAllister had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee six weeks ago and he expected to be ready by next season. He also believes he can play another three years or so. So it will be interesting to see if any team in the NFL will take a chance on him. On a personal note, I will still wear my Deuce McAllister jersey when the season starts in the fall.

To be honest, I never considered Ephesians 4:29 in relation to blogging until I was visiting Between Two Worlds and read a recent entry from Justin Taylor where he references the topic via a heads-up to an article written by Bill Mounce on the blog koinonia. Since Ephesians 4:29 is being referenced, here it is:
Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. [NIV]
I’m the first to admit that I’ve been guilty of this from time to time but this timely reminder is certainly welcomed and I invite you to visit koinonia to read the whole article from Bill Mounce.

I just wanted to take this opportunity to wish everyone a happy and romantic Valentine’s Day. Unfortunately for the wife and me, we’ve both come down with colds and it’s rainy, wet and nasty out so it pretty much kills any notion of a romantic weekend. Bummer.

Well, it seems like I’m coming down with a cold so don’t expect anything profound from me. It is Friday the 13th which is normally a “lucky” day for me. I even have a hockey jersey with the number 13 on it (see below). I guess I am the opposite of a triskadecaphobic. Well, I guess I was a little more profound than I originally thought. So rather than ramble on about the number 13, let me just say that it is Open Trackback Friday once again.

With Valentine’s Day coming up this Saturday, I thought this was apt since I do take great delight in my wife and she takes great delight in me. I am so thankful to God for bringing us together all those years ago and blessing us with a strong, lasting and loving marriage.

When I started this blog over three years ago, I figured it would get some visits, but something just occurred today that I didn’t think would happen this soon; this blog’s 100,000th hit. Who’d a thunk it! The 100,000th visitor was from Charlotte, North Carolina. Thank you whomever you are.

I really don’t have anything clever to write. This roller coaster weather (warm then cold then warm then even colder) has sapped my creativity for the time being.

Lynyrd Skynyrd keyboardist Billy Powell passed away on Wednesday of apparent heart problems in his Orange Park, Florida home. He was 56. Powell’s distinctive piano is best remembered on the song “Free Bird.” I’ve seen Lynyrd Skynyrd twice in my lifetime. First when I was a kid in 1976 (my first ever rock concert) in Memphis, Tennessee (November 26, 1976, just under a year before the infamous plane crash in Mississippi) and during their first reunion tour in 1987 in Tallahassee, Florida. In both concerts as is the custom at all Skynyrd concerts, “Free Bird” is the big finale song. During the 1987 performance in Tallahassee, “Free Bird” was performed as a instrumental but the audience, myself included, sung the lyrics in honor of late frontman Ronnie Van Zant. Billy Powell’s piano solo in both instances was memorable; the second being more memorable because as they put the spotlight on him playing a white grand piano a spotlight illuminated a brass statue of an eagle with wings spread as in flight. I think I’ll listen to the live version of “Free Bird” in honor of Billy Powell.
