New apps

Applied at JCP for loss prevention, Kmart for soft lines, Kelly services for temp work, Lowes for hardware department, a nanny job for a 3y/o boy, and several others...

Happy thoughts...
Lots of happy thoughts.

Slew of new apps entered

Spent the morning updating my application at the hospital, applied for another half dozen positions.

It is out of my hands now but at least this employer is polite enough to notify me when the job is filled.

Defeated

Just sick of being a whipping boy for the world. I've never asked for fame, wealth, or prestige, just enough to not have my family threatened with homelessness.

I am defeated and praying for God's guidance.

An idea whose time has come?

For as long as I can remember I've toyed with the idea of going to welding school...is it finally time to take the leap and sign onto student loans?

BSA trying to make up financial losses.

Welcome to 2013-2014, here's your 60% increased membership fee.

Annual planning and budgeting are the backbone of a good Scouting unit, obviously national doesn't have to function as a unit does.

It really feels like those at the helm are purposely crashing the USS BSA into the rocks.

Ignored resource

I've ignored this wonderful resource for far too long. Time to return to my audience of one and record these thoughts.

They keep me from going.
They keep me from growing.
They keep me from knowing.
They keep me from sowing.
They keep me from reaping.
They keep me from sleeping.

So many issues, but most are sealed inside to fester and boil.

Idle.

I wonder where
my wonder has gone,
Into the night or
into the dawn?

Carry On.

It's been forever since my last post. Lots of life changes and happenings, but through it all we carry on. 

GAME CHANGER

AR 30rd mags available, AK 74 and 47 mags are coming soon.

Speak softly and carry a 3D printer!

One if by Ban, Two if by Seize.

What does that even mean, One if by Ban, Two if by Seize?

Well, flash back to your history class about Paul Revere's midnight ride and the lanterns in the Old North Church announcing the arrival of the redcoats...

It would appear time for Mr Revere to make certain his pony is shod and the saddle is tight.

If they come due to a ban, a single tap will be sufficient, but if they come to seize the teeth of liberty, a double tap will be necessary to send the message that it will not be allowed in our time.

One if by Ban, Two if by Seize. May God wake up those oath takers and turn them into Oath Keepers.

Keep your powder dry and be ready.

Freeman or slave, the choice is YOURS.

Life comes down to what do you want to put into it and the same applies to liberty and your government. If you don't like your government, CHANGE it. Get out the vote, educate your fellow citizens, nominate folks that will honestly and fairly represent your positions. Participate, why aren't YOU running for these offices and positions? Hold the elected responsible for their votes, non-votes and actions.


Remember that line  ' we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor' ?

 The founders of our nation were determined to protect each other and their beliefs, at ANY cost. 

What will you do? Freeman or slave, the choice is YOURS.

 

Welcome to 2013, the year of NO MORE TURNING AWAY

On the turning away
From the pale and downtrodden
And the words they say
Which we won't understand
"Don't accept that what's happening
Is just a case of others' suffering
Or you'll find that you're joining in
The turning away"

It's a sin that somehow
Light is changing to shadow
And casting its shroud
Over all we have known
Unaware how the ranks have grown
Driven on by a heart of stone
We could find that we're all alone
In the dream of the proud

On the wings of the night
As the daytime is stirring
Where the speechless unite
In a silent accord
Using words you will find are strange
Mesmerised as they light the flame
Feel the new wind of change
On the wings of the night

No more turning away
From the weak and the weary
No more turning away
From the coldness inside
Just a world that we all must share
It's not enough just to stand and stare
Is it only a dream that there'll be
No more turning away?
