Thanks!

Well, what a fitting day to begin this project. It is Thanksgiving Day 2010 and I for one am a VERY thankful man.

 I give thanks to my Creator ( I believe in the God of the Bible, YHWH, Yahweh the Great I AM) for all of the blessings that my family and I enjoy. We have health, minimal wealth, and limited stealth. I offer thanks for my lovely wife of almost 20 years, my awesome 15 year old daughter, and my dear old mom, who is still chuggin’ along. I am thankful to have some friends and fellow believers to hang out with and fellowship. And I am thankful for the chance to talk to you, gentle reader.

 I am quite hopeful that together we can begin to restore ourselves and our families and our country....that we can begin to turn back the tide of lies and robbery that have eaten away at the shores of our human freedom.

 I have started writing a book with the hopes of someday publishing it for the masses. Rather than wait till it is done, I have decided to post it here in pieces. That way, I can accelerate to the main target, which is to get YOU involved in a conversation.

 I hope to learn something from you and I hope to teach you something about us as humans. I feel that now is my time to share what I have learned over the years about people and the ways in which we fall down, destroy and fail.....and then get back up, overcome and emerge victorious.

 Against all evidence, I have tremendous hope for you as a person and us as a group of people. We were created with such wonderful gifts and possibilities. It is my desire to illuminate the ways in which those gifts and opportunities are pilfered from us, and to look for ways to get them back to where they once belonged. Get back Joe.
