It is the mark of a truly educated man to know what not to read.
Rights are either God-given as part of the divine plan, or they are granted by government as part of the political plan. If we accept the premise that human rights are granted by government, then we must be willing to accept the corollary that they can be denied by government.
Every man eventually is backed up to the wall of faith, and there he must make his stand.

Let us be in a position so we are able to not only feed ourselves through home production and storage, but others as well.
The greatest test of life is obedience to God.
A good name is still to be preferred over great riches. Especially it is to be preferred to the appearance of riches, aquired with nothing down and nothing to pay for 2 months.
I hope we can be happy where we are, be grateful for our blessings-now-here, accept the challenge that is ours and make the most of it, and don’t be envious of others. God help us to be grateful.
