Collards

When I was growing up, there was nothing cooked at my home which I enjoyed more that collard greens. Please don't allow me to do it but I could make a meal off of a large plate of collard greens and cornbread. Like so many things, we learn as we are educated, our ancestors were already aware, the greener the food, the healthier... collard greens, turnip greens, spinach, kale, etc. I asked well educated, trained, indoctrinated oncologists (specialists in cancer) other doctors, “why is there so much cancer?” Cancer, like most debilitating deadly diseases, in direct proportion to our diet. We need 200 calories per day, so many of these calories just junk food... sweets, processed-synthetic “foods”. We are what we eat. No breeder of race horses, Westminster show dogs, Olympic athletes would be fed what the average parent feeds their precious child.

As an amateur photographer, I enjoyed making photographs of sunsets standing, waiting, right place, right time and I have beautiful pictures. In early canvass art even photography it was difficult to tell the difference in sunrise and sunset. Confusion, lying, cheating a regular activity in the media. Advertising pushes the envelope because no one cares.

1.7 million dogs and dead people get credit cards in the mail. The first time in history America’s credit rating has been lowered... too much spending, too few working. Today, in Greece, 20 percent unemployment just enough money in the country to last one month.

The most promoted idea in the world is debt. In Florida, 52 percent of all homes are under water (debt on home is more than value of home) 23 percent of all houses for sale. The Bible which talks more about money than heaven, does not have one good word about debt. Lending money is like giving another drink to a drunk, surely we can see this in government. If you do not have money for something, you do not need it. In 1970, 15 percent of Americans owned credit cards, in 2008, latest figure, amounted to 176.8 million. The income for the banks from these credit cards comes mostly from late fees but, consider this, college students owe the government more for college loans than the total on all credit cards.

I never knew my family to buy anything on credit except land. Vehicles, farm equipment, furniture, clothing, etc. If my family could not pay for it they did not buy it. I have the same blood in my system. I use a credit card for business expenses. I have never, not the first time failed to pay the total at the end of the month. Our blessed Lord at the Last Supper, in the Upper Room, with His twelve disciples, alive flesh and blood, as a symbol, told us to remember Him (and this is the only way he told us to remember Him) by observing communion at the lords supper, with symbolic bread and wine.

I so remember the first credit card I ever saw. An army sergeant working for me, said “he had one of these new credit cards which he was using to buy gas.” I remember he kept the card locked in his briefcase and then locked his briefcase in the trunk of his car, so afraid someone would steal it. He said, “it would be a disaster if some one stole my credit card, I could be ruined.”

We have several generations raised to think that credit, borrowing or debt is the way of life. The three pillars of hell for today's college students: sexual promiscuity, addictions, atheism. The fourth and probably almost as great a disaster, credit. They all own credit cards and treat them very cavalierly... not realizing that poor credit will follow them on credit reports and insurance-employment applications for the rest of their life. They have seen their parents run up big bills on credit cards. Lie, cheat, and steal to pay them. They know nothing of self denial. Having spent their entire life having watched the rich and famous of the world on TV, each thinks that this lifestyle is his for the taking or the “borrowing”.

Hollywood, Madison avenue, the spending democrat party. The secular media, does not want God in your life. The satanic forces of the world have plotted death of the family. In the homosexual agenda, heterosexuality is cheapened and forbidden. Christian values of responsible living (even paying your debts) family life, patriotism, commitment to God are determined unworthy of the sophisticated, educated. The traditional family, father, mother, children... extended family of grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, around the table, at the church, participating in sports activities, planning and saving money for necessities. Values which were Americana. It was American for parents to insist for children to eat their greens... even collard greens. Now, Satan has done his job, murder by abortion, same sex marriage, ask do tell in the military, lesbians and gays in the pulpit, children becoming sex objects (have you considered how many children are the objects of sexual photography and exploitation, etc,).

The government wants you miserable, exaggerating poverty. For many generations poverty numbered about 30 percent of the population today, 46 percent. It does not include the safety net, food stamps, housing allowances, etc. which make people, “supposedly” in poverty, on a level with most of the shrinking middle class. The chief offender of credit, debt your governments... federal, state, local. Debts so great, they can never be repaid.
