GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN?

Late Saturday night or early Sunday morning the House passed a bill that could prevent a government shutdown if the democrats under President Obama and Harry Reid will only consider that immediate implementation of Obamacare is less important than the damage done by a shutdown. Although Linden disagrees with the title of the below link, it is still worth your time to read it.

Friday brought Men’s Prayer Breakfast at 6:00. As usual, this early rising left me tired all day. Talked to Brian, Paul came by and Donna brought chili.

Saturday started with breakfast at the Avon American Legion Post. Later, watched a football game and worked on projects.

Sunday brought church and Sunday school attendance. Watched the Colts win a football game. In the early evening Lloyd called to tell me of a TV show about the Camino de Santiago. I caught the last part of the show and it reminded me of my pilgrimage in Spain eight years ago. Brought tears to my eyes.

VOTE NO ON CLOTURE!!!

VOTE NO ON CLOTURE!!!

If Linden is correct, the vote on cloture will occur this afternoon. If there are sufficient no votes there will remain the possibility of Obamacare being defunded. For the good of ourselves, our children, our grandchildren, and all succeeding generations a no vote is needed on cloture. If this should result in Obamacare being defunded then, if the President should veto the bill, he alone would be responsible for any harm that should come to any person. Even he is possibly not pigheaded enough to take that upon himself. The link below expands upon these thoughts.

SENATOR TED CRUZ: MAN OF THE YEAR

Linden has waited a long time to hear a Republican come forward with a well thought out opposition to Obamacare, favoritism, and responsibility lack by our elected leaders. Ted Cruz provided all this and more with his filibuster.

Linden started listening to the filibuster shortly after it started, went out to dinner and resumed watching until bedtime, around 10:30. Awakening at 3:00, he watched maybe another 45 minutes, went back to bed and watched more after arising around 7:30 until about 11:00. Absolutely the most TV he has watched in years and it was great!! It is doubtful that many democrats will follow his direction and for those Republicans, if any, who do not follow his lead, you should face a primary opponent.

Linden never expected Nancy Pelosi to say something as thoughtless as was her comment regarding passing the Obamacare bill.

Do you personally know anyone who can think of nothing that should be cut from the federal budget?

BLESS THOSE HOUSE REPUBLICANS

Following the overwhelming support the Republicans gave to those who do not want Obamacare, it is now up to the democrats to take the actions which would cause the government “shutdown”. Of course, they and President Obama could act to do away with Obamacare but that is not likely in spite of the fact that Obama has granted waivers to his supporters and probably all except Obama, Reid, and Pelosi know deep down that they passed a really bad bill. The vote totals clearly show the difference between the two parties. The Republicans voted 228 to 1 for the bill and the socialist, liberal, democrat group voted 188 to 2 against it. We can expect every possible crooked effort to be made by the democrats to thwart the wishes of the people. The link below further addresses this matter.

A BUMBLING BUSH

Linden started to suspect that Jeb Bush was not a worthy presidential candidate when he voiced opinions regarding immigration. Now, by presenting Hillary Clinton with a Liberty Medal, J.B. has verified that the original suspicion regarding his worthiness was absolutely correct. The truth of it is that Hillary Clinton over her years of “service” has displayed an astonishing lack of desirable ability in any regard. Lying to protect Bill does not count. The link below presents a very good picture of the full degree of J.B.’s error.

For Thursday I set my alarm for 6:30 so I could do my blog posting before my Thursday breakfast meeting. On Wednesday my power was off while I was at the hospital. So, when my alarm went off, I got up, posted the blog and then looked at my watch...it was not yet 1:00 A.M.! So, I went back to bed...I had not reset the time on my alarm clock after the power outage. When I did get up, I went to the enjoyable breakfast and at 11:30 went to the Golden Glows monthly pitch-in…good food and an excellent speaker. I was tired all day.

PROMISING SIGNS

Linden’s activities on Wednesday allowed him little time to fully consider the items that will be mentioned in today’s posting. So, the following represents his condensed thoughts: The successful effort to recall two Colorado democrat state legislators means that a bit of sanity may return to conversations about unconstitutional gun control legislation. Happy day!! Also, it appears that Eliot Spitzer and Anthony Weiner failed in their primary election efforts in New York. Since Linden considers the two of them to be pieces of trash, he is happy with their downfall. It will be an added bonus if the voters in that den of liberalism start to come to their senses. Lastly, the article linked below may be the best ever. (Excluding the Bible and the Constitution.)

I was in Danville a couple of hours before my 11:00 surgery follow-up appointment so I had the opportunity to visit a while with Larry Bellville and his wife, Linda. Larry was there for surgery. I also spent just a few minutes with Clevette, who, I believe, has now become my all-time favorite nurse and there had been a couple of others who were once in the running for that title. She continued a funny story by presenting me with a box of fudge covered, peanut butter filled pretzels. In the evening, I had dinner at church and then went to a store. Since the power was off when I returned from the hospital, I had a fairly long afternoon nap.

SUE THE PROFESSOR

Linden is not a lawyer so his suggestion in regard to the college professor mentioned in the link below may not be possible. That does not mean the idea is bad. Maybe the college itself could be sued. Surely few would fail to agree that this type of lecture amounts to little more than stealing the money that parents (and others) have paid to educate the students. If a parent or taxpayer in each of the 83 Michigan counties would file a suit in small claims court, it could possibly redirect the thought process of a great many pseudo educators.

AUGUST CHRISTIAN STUDIES

As a result of spending almost two weeks in Ohio with Brian & family in August and having surgery near the end of the month, my regular PCC attendance was much less than usual.

Chapter five of Ephesians remained as the study focus of our PCC Sunday sermons in August. 

Sunday school, led by John Lee, focused on 2 Peter.

Our early Friday morning Men’s prayer breakfast studies were on Habakkuk.

At our small group Thursday morning breakfast meetings prayer and readings were given by Bill and Paul.

Attended the monthly meetings at Chapel Rock CC while missing the Kingsway and CDCMF meetings.  On August 4 we had a Church picnic on the north property which was followed by a groundbreaking  

ceremony of our new addition. Much parking lot expansion was performed on our north property in August.

As mentioned above, I visited with Brian and am currently having some pain as a result of my August surgery. They were wonderful at the Danville hospital and, I believe, ten of my friends came to see me before and after the surgery. I spent one night with Lloyd and Marsha Acton and Brian came over to look after me last Friday evening and left Sunday afternoon. He is Great. He bought a bunch of stuff I would not have bought and threw away a bunch of stuff that I would have saved.
