I am no political expert and I will prove it today with this blog. It seems the government shutdown/slowdown is over. The parties have reached an agreement. It seems no problems have been solved and the agreement is really just an agreement to put off the disagreement until next year. Each side is blaming the other for shutting down the government. I don’t care who’s right and who’s wrong. I did learn a few things from this.
1. My life was not affected in any way by the shutdown. This makes me feel a little better. I think we are way too dependent on government. It seems the government had to really go out of it’s way to make the shutdown noticeable. I understand it wasn’t really a shutdown, but any sign that our dependence on government is not complete is a good thing.
2. This country is run by clowns.
3. I am reminded that many of those who spend time studying the end times note that there is no mention of the United States at the end. Now I think I know why.
4. The end must be really close.
5. Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.Psalm 20:7
6. I will continue to follow my policy of not watching the news on television, listening to it on the radio, or reading about it in the newspaper. If something I really need to know happens, someone, probably my wife, will tell me.
7. I don’t want to think about turning 65 next year. Social Security and Medicare… isn’t the government involved in that?
8. I tried using the Obama care website to sign up for health care. Although it didn’t work for several attempts. The last time it seemed to work and gave me options. I don’t know if it was real or if the site had been hacked by terrorists. One of the options was coverage through something called Jihad Health Care. 🙂 Now I’m afraid to enroll. I don’t want to be the first in Louisiana to do so, or to be in the first 100 nation wide. I certainly don’t want to be labelled a terrorist.
9. Ignorance, at least political ignorance, really is bliss.
Be blessed.
