Thought this was cute. (You have to click the picture in order to read the text)

My company just told me there is $5000 left in the budget for me to buy equipment, but i have to tell them what I want by tomorrow morning before budgets are shut down for the summer. ( I work at a school ).

I never thought that spending money would be hard. Yet it is.

A tough question

I am very much pro-life and have always believed that life begins at the catalyst that is conception. But I am not certain of what can constitute life.

What about when a baby is formed and has Anencephaly?

Anencephaly is when a baby develops without a brain, and sometimes no brain stem or top portion of the skull (flesh and bone).

Because of the lack of a brain, the baby will "never be able to exercise the spiritual and moral capacities of human life, e.g., love of God and neighbor," (quoting an artical)

Does anyone have any thoughts on if a baby without a brain is "alive"?

Touché!

I feel for the family, but this is a sad example of just how "of the world" some people have come.

3 things I take issue with;

1) Suicide.

2) A billionaire asking for money.

3) Considering yourself financially "broken" because your net worth drops from 12 billion to 9 billion dollars.

Praise God for sending Christ. I cant imagine living in this world without him.

Story

(CNN) -- German billionaire Adolf Merckle, one of the richest men in the world, committed suicide Monday after his business empire got into trouble in the wake of the international financial crisis, Merckle's family said Tuesday in a statement.

Merckle, 74, was hit by a train in the southwestern town of Ulm, police said.

His family said the economic crisis had "broken" Merckle.

He was number 94 on the Forbes list of the world's richest people. He had fallen from number 44 on the Forbes 2007 rich list as his fortune declined from $12.8 billion to $9.2 billion in 2008.

Merckle's business empire included interests as diverse as cement-maker HeidelbergCement and generic drug-maker Ratiopharm. But he lost hundreds of millions of dollars, including company capital, betting against Volkswagen stock last year.

The state government of Baden-Wuerttemberg rejected his petition for financial assistance, and he entered bailout talks with several German banks.

"The financial troubles of his companies, induced by the international financial crisis and the uncertainty and powerlessness to act independently which the financial problems brought about, broke the passionate family business man, and he took his own life," his family wrote in the news release.

Thank a soldier.

This is a really cool site.

Xerox is sponsoring it. In a nutshell you can pick out a patriotic card, a simple message and Xerox will print it off and send it to a troop in Iraq

I checked it out on snopes.com to make sure it is legit and it is. It only takes a second to do and it might really mean something to a soldier over in Iraq serving our country. It literally only takes 30 seconds and is FREE.

Please consider doing it.

Awesome kid.

Vote!

For the Love of all that is good and for our nation, please get out a vote today!

Do not vote your wallet, or change for the sake of change, vote your heart.

Personal rant to follow:

Do you support killing babies?

Would you support killing babies, if it meant a more stable economy? Is that really worth it?

I dont really like either candidate, but I will never vote for a man who supports abortion. McCain, although an old fart, has the character and history that I respect. The man was stuck in a box for 5 years getting the crap kicked out of him every day, his teeth smashed out, many broken limbs and bones, and all he had to do to get out of it was deny his country. He never gave in, even though he only had to say one thing and get to go home he never turned his back on his country in those 5 years. Would Obama even last 5 months let alone 5 years in that same situation? I honesty dont know, but I know for certain McCain has that character.

END RANT.

GO VOTE!

Islam - funny.

I saw this some where and thought it humorous. In a sad kind of way.
