This is no longer a matter of right versus left, liberal versus conservative, we can prove our conclusion on this by basic mathematics. The United States Federal Government from all sources, for all purposes, takes in $2.2 trillion a year. Keep that number in mind. $2.2 trillion a year. We have total unfunded liabilities of $65 trillion, $2.2 trillion in revenue, $65 trillion in total unfunded liabilities. That is more than 30 to 1 leverage. If the United States Federal Government were a bank regulated by itself, they would shut themselves down. We live in a nation where not long ago our United States Secretary of State [Hillary Clinton] was on rhetorical bended knee in communist China pleading with the Chinese to continue to buy our debt, because if they don’t buy our debt and other foreign sovereign wealth funds don’t buy our debt our beloved United States of America can’t pay its bills.

It should be discussed in prisons, where professional criminals are remarkably candid about their avoidance of armed citizens who can fight back. It should be discussed in rape crises centers. Ask a woman who has been raped, whether she ever wished she had a gun when it happened ... and whether she had bought one since. Her reply is likely to be “yes” to at least the first, and often to both. Talk to the bereaved who lost their loved ones to the streets. Talk to those who have been violated in their homes. Ask them how they feel about passive non-resistance. And when you have attuned yourself to the haunting fear that lives with them forever after their nightmare, you will be ready to talk with someone else who was in their place, but survived unscathed because they were armed. The contrast will be striking. These survivors don’t put notches on their pistols, and they don’t brag about what they had to do... The taking of a human life, no matter what the circumstances, is an unnatural act, an emotionally shattering experience that leaves its own scars forever. But none of those people regret what they did, and to a man, their first reaction was to go home to their wife and children and hug them, tightly and wordlessly." -- Massad Ayoob&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3932393482297392872-4750507506057797206?l=paulneel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://paulneel.blogspot.com/feeds/4750507506057797206/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3932393482297392872&amp;postID=4750507506057797206' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3932393482297392872/posts/default/4750507506057797206'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3932393482297392872/posts/default/4750507506057797206'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://paulneel.blogspot.com/2011/08/something-to-ponder-massad-ayoob.html' title='Something to Ponder ...

We are watched; our words are caught; our lives are examined -- taken to pieces. The eagle-eyed, argus-eyed world observes everything we do, and sharp critics are upon us. Let us live the life of Christ in public. Let us take care that we exhibit our Master, and not ourselves -- so that we can say, "It is no longer I that live, but Christ that lives in me."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#000099;"&gt;-- C.

Threat of storms made us decide to pass on the Pulse Festival and the MMA event at the Cove today.  For the record, to this point the sun is shining.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;I wasn't really hungry until my wife started canning homemade pizza sauce in the kitchen.  Finding food as soon as I'm done typing this.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;I can't believe that my boys will be 17 in a week. Time marches on.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;I'm excited for the beginning of football.    high school, college, and NFL.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;I am constantly reminded of how selfishly stupid people get when they lose their perspective.  No matter how good you have it.  You know who you are, Carlos Zambrano.  That could be a whole post of it's own.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;I've been invited to help broadcast high school sports on www.broadcastsport.net again this year.  It all starts with the football coaches show from 6-9 PM Monday night.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;My daughter (our youngest) is a high school freshmen this year.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;I'm anxious to see if Notre Dame is as good as they appear they should be.  Are we being fooled again by false hope or are we underestimating what could be a special season?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;I wonder if the White Sox are going to try some waiver moves to get better or just let it ride for the rest of the year.  That division is VERY winnable.  Need to improve and make the hard decisions on playing time (Dunn) that will afford a chance to win.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;Confession:  I went for food before finishing this. - just pretzels for now&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;Always thinking of was to better manage my time for things that I want to do rather than settling for the now decisions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;Grateful for the group of family and friends that I have.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;That's it for now&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3932393482297392872-6026513974562837093?l=paulneel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://paulneel.blogspot.com/feeds/6026513974562837093/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3932393482297392872&amp;postID=6026513974562837093' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3932393482297392872/posts/default/6026513974562837093'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3932393482297392872/posts/default/6026513974562837093'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://paulneel.blogspot.com/2011/08/quick-hits.html' title='Quick Hits'/><author><name>Paul Neel</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932393482297392872.post-6779951869951906191</id><published>2011-08-13T11:48:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2011-08-13T11:48:00.808-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='quotes'/><title type='text'>Something to ponder ...</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://images.sodahead.com/polls/000041631/polls_thomas_jefferson_picture_2906_612711_poll_xlarge.jpeg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right;

High School football.  Although it's just a scrimmage, it is football.  Looking forward to seeing my alma mater, which includes my son playing as a junior this year.  High school teams are a part of the community, no matter where you're from.  The team, the band, the students, parents, coaches, alumni, and school faculty all create a unique community that is bonded around the team.  It rarely matters how great the team is.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;I'm excited for the opportunity to watch may son play a game he loves.

Sometimes I'm unreasonable. I have to catch myself every once in a while.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't think that anybody should be suspended for life for anything, other than murder.

For the Enemy will not be used as a convenience. Men or nations who think they can revive the Faith in order to make a good society might just as well think they can use the stairs of Heaven as a short cut to the nearest chemist’s shop.

The Colts made an amazing comeback.  I know Belicheck is getting hammered for trying to go for it on 4th but who really ants to give that ball to Peyton with 2 minutes when he is locked in like he was late last night.  Great game.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Pondering if Weis really will get canned at ND.  I'm not saying I love the guy.  Pretty much anyone I talk to says hes not a very nice person.  I question how bad another rebuild (new coach) will set the program back.  I know we aren't winning the big games but improvement has been noted.  I'll g on record now that if Charlie gets axed, Jimmy Clausen is gone to the NFL for sure.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;This is the first opening of deer season I have missed since I started hunting.  I wish I was hunting in many ways; yet the rain outside and the fact that I wasn't really having that much fun because I usually feel like I should be somewhere else, doing something else plays a factor.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;so many to dos on my list. I get distracted and often get nothing done.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I'm glad for the days I've taken off work, i just need to unplug from it a bit so that I get some enjoyment from them.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Excited about the HS wrestling season starting next week.  Excited that my son is on the team this year as well. Trying to decide if posts to Twitter or Facebook are the best way to pass along updates from the matches.  Many times, especially on the weekends, the JV and Varsity are at two different places.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;this is not a very good day to burn all the leaves from my yard&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I keep thinking about all the things in life that make us scared and unsure of the future. For a while now I am constantly reminded of Jesus' words; "in this  world you will have trouble" and "these things must happen so the end will come".  Not sure how that all fits together but that's what I'm being reminded.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3932393482297392872-8226911276927747806?l=paulneel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://paulneel.blogspot.com/feeds/8226911276927747806/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3932393482297392872&amp;postID=8226911276927747806' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3932393482297392872/posts/default/8226911276927747806'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3932393482297392872/posts/default/8226911276927747806'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://paulneel.blogspot.com/2009/11/random-thoughts-on-monday.html' title='Random Thoughts on a Monday'/><author><name>Paul Neel</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932393482297392872.post-6934731462023645183</id><published>2009-11-02T17:42:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2009-11-02T17:46:37.274-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='election'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='politics'/><title type='text'>Take Part in Our Democracy</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://blog.bioethics.net/vote-smart-button.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 334px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 379px" alt="" src="http://blog.bioethics.net/vote-smart-button.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Just a reminder that many men and women have made great sacrifices to ensure our right to participate in Democracy and vote tommorrow.

That in no way indicates the truth and thought provocation within its pages. As with any good novel you are drawn in from the opening paragraphs. Unlike most novels, this is more than a good story. Andrews uses the story to disperse the truths about life that he has learned and passed along in various forms in his other works. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;I can easily see this book being used in small groups, one on one accountability, and even as a way of personal reflection. I myself am planning on working through it with my teen aged sons. I see it becoming a good conversation starter. It's the kind of book that will make a great gift for birthdays, graduations, promotions, and any other life event.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;The truths that Jones brings out in the lives of the other characters fit into all our lives at one time or another. I found my self pondering how these apply in my own life even as I continued to turn the pages. There are plenty of books to fill your time, this one is a keeper.  Add it to your "to read" list and plan on getting your own copy.  You wouldn't want to have to return it to the library when you are done.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3932393482297392872-7922086770713450400?l=paulneel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://paulneel.blogspot.com/feeds/7922086770713450400/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3932393482297392872&amp;postID=7922086770713450400' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3932393482297392872/posts/default/7922086770713450400'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3932393482297392872/posts/default/7922086770713450400'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://paulneel.blogspot.com/2009/07/book-review-noticer-by-andy-andrews.html' title='Book Review - The Noticer by Andy Andrews'/><author><name>Paul Neel</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932393482297392872.post-6898795587408991324</id><published>2009-07-22T06:42:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2009-07-22T06:44:10.061-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='quotes'/><title type='text'>Something to Ponder ...

Part of the process along with sweeping and setting things up is propping the door open and opening some windows to allow the fresh air to flow through it. We then typically leave two windows open about an inch so that when we return to use the cabin it has fresh air.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;That's what this blog feels like. &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Facebook&lt;/span&gt; and Twitter updates are cool and I will continue to do that, probably even more than a lot of formal posts here. However, those don't quite cut it when you have more than 2 sentences to share. I'll be starting with a new batch of "something to ponder" posts and throwing in some other toughest as well along the way. One of the things I beat myself up over previously was the lack of regularity in posts. I've decided that its not a problem if I don't have a feature posts every day. I will still do the link dumps and who knows what else. This cannot and will not be a chore. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;With camp coming up my web access will likely be limited, but that's OK.

As always, it was good for us to go through the material. We are constantly learning and growing along with the class each time we coordinate. Just like a good novel or Scripture, the is gold to mined for our lives each time that inevitably applies directly to whee we are in our current journey. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;This class is harder than most for me to say goodbye to. Believe me when I say that I am happy to reclaim the hours back into my schedule. Yet, the diversity and insight that these class members brought was very enjoyable. I know that these families will do well. And the Kingdom will be better for it. Here's a snapshot of the couples involved:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;There always seems to be a level of attrition for any FPU course. This couple was unable to continue do to childcare issues and concerns over pregnancy complications. They were really growing. They are starting a home based business. My hope is that they will build in the foundation of the first 4-5 weeks and jump into another class when life settles for them a bit.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;This couple in their late 40's came because her mother and father paid for then to do it. They were reluctant and missed several classes but you could tell that they were seeing the benefit of the material. The mother who paid the way passed on during the course which I think helped them want to honor the gift. They too I hope will build upon what they have and return to it again.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;My third couple are remarried and just beginning the "empty nest" stage. They came into the class looking to learn each week and you could see it in their reactions and looks to one another as the videos played that it was sinking in and they were "getting it". They are type A personalities and they are going to kick down their debt and begin to pass the baton to others, you can just tell.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;The next couple is in their 20s and yet to have their first child. They fire me up because they are starting out on a road that will involve a much smaller hole to dig out of and the building process and winning will come more quickly. They are bright and gifted and I can see them free to do the work they are wired to do and never have to have a plain old "job" just to make the ends meet -- VERY COOL&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;The last couple is by no means the least. This pair included a very reluctant spouse. The husband came (barely) to the opening classes because his wife dragged him along. After the budgeting lesson they put the wheels in motion that have revolutionized their finances, and I believe their marriage and lives. He works independently and travels a lot. He mentioned Sunday that the ability to not have to worry about where the money is coming to cover the week's expenses has given him peace. They killed all of their credit card debt during the class and their debt snowball is really rolling. The extra cool thing is that they did it while she is not working. This stuff works!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;I'm not sure at what point we will be offering the class again but I encourage everyone, no matter how well off you are, to get into FPU and explore God's and grandma's way of handling your finances.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3932393482297392872-1590108176087894731?l=paulneel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://paulneel.blogspot.com/feeds/1590108176087894731/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3932393482297392872&amp;postID=1590108176087894731' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3932393482297392872/posts/default/1590108176087894731'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3932393482297392872/posts/default/1590108176087894731'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://paulneel.blogspot.com/2009/05/fpu-reflections.html' title='FPU Reflections'/><author><name>Paul Neel</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932393482297392872.post-9123848989341978318</id><published>2009-04-30T07:57:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2009-04-30T07:58:46.777-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='quotes'/><title type='text'>Something to Ponder ...

And of course that just shows how very much, how almost exclusively, we have been depending on things. But trouble goes so far back in our lives and is now so deeply ingrained, we will not turn to him as long as he leaves us anything else to turn to. I suppose all one can say is that it was bound to come. In the hour of death and the day of judgment, what else shall we have? Perhaps when those moments come, they will feel happiest who have been forced (however unwittingly) to begin practicing it here on earth.

Yet a lack of time, and quite often lack of discipline leads me to either start a post that then seems irrelevant by the time I get back to it or they just become good thoughts, never to be written. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;I am in need of trying a new approach to being consistent. One thing I have found is that &lt;a href="http://twitter.com/Domerskee"&gt;my Twitter &lt;/a&gt;account makes giving quick comment and a link on a particular subject/ article easier. Still I need to process more in depth through the blog.

I gace it a couple trys and it works flawlessly.  I know we all have our alarm clocks and cell phones but who hasn't forgotten to turn on their alarm, set it to PM instead of AM, or other reasons for not hearing or having an alarm go off.  I think this would be the perfect back up plan.  If you want to pay the very minimal premium rate you can even get repeat calls set for the same time each day or use the snooze function.  Give Wakerupper.com a try and let me know if you like it.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3932393482297392872-7365887181440145554?l=paulneel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://paulneel.blogspot.com/feeds/7365887181440145554/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3932393482297392872&amp;postID=7365887181440145554' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3932393482297392872/posts/default/7365887181440145554'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3932393482297392872/posts/default/7365887181440145554'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://paulneel.blogspot.com/2009/04/free-wake-up-calls.html' title='Free Wake Up Calls'/><author><name>Paul Neel</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_INRRo3OgdKU/SLJyS5wXV9I/AAAAAAAAARk/C_qLuGAVq6Q/s72-c/wake+up+call.jpg2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932393482297392872.post-5884754085921516048</id><published>2009-04-15T07:07:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2009-04-15T07:35:44.215-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='quotes'/><title type='text'>Something to Ponder ...
