Happy Labor Day

Happy Labor Day everyone!! Did you know the first labor day took place on September 5, 1882. Which is a good thing. The sad thing is labor day symbolizes the last day of summer, I love summer. What I've always wondered though is where the rule "no white after labor day" came from. The reasons I found are: 1.) White reflects sunlight so therefor it keeps you cooler, and why would one want to be colder in winter?!?! (duh)...thats my favorite dumb reason. 2.)In the late 19th century alot of people where entering the middle classes. Well, they didnt know anything about the standards of high society, so they were given specific rules to follow in order to fit in. Thats just plain mean!! 3.) Apparently to southerners its just rude and total bad manners to wear white before easter. I dont think it bothers me, but hey thats just me. I dont really care for any of these reasons, so I say WEAR WHATEVER YOU WANT PEOPLE! Have a great labor day and don't work to hard :)

My Fear

This has been on my mind for about 2 months now, so I thought I would share it to the world (all 3 of the people that read my blog :) )

In 2008 the United States of America will vote in a new president. For the past 100 years, the President has come from either the Republican or Democratic Party, so it seems safe to assume that the same will hold form in 2008. The leading candidates for President of the USA are Hillary Clinton (D) and Rudy Giuliani (R). I know there are other people including Mitt Romney, Fred Thompson, and Barack Marx (Obama).

This is what is bothering me; the most likely two candidates will be both pro choice and pro homosexual. This is unbelievable to me, that in the USA a country founded on the word of God we will chose between two people that have no regard for His word or His principles. This is not a blog to debate beliefs, just to say that I fear for my country. What will happen in 2012? How much more will we walk away from the principles of God? Hillary also wants socialized medicine and basically a socialist government. This was a country founded on capitalism and the Word of God, both are being abandoned in 2008. It is really sad to see this wonderful country destroy itself. My Grandpa lost his dad at 3 and mom at 11, yet he worked his tail off to make something of himself, including picking cotton, sharecropping, and welding. He got his GED in his 40's and became a productive citizen of society. My Grandmother father died at 13 and was raised by her mom as she worked multiple jobs to provide for her family. The government did not give her anything and she did not expect them to. She worked HARD! In today's society b/c of all the social programs, when tragedy hits and people have their backs against a wall, what do they do? They turn to the government, not to hard work.

My fear is simple, I'm afraid that this great country I love, is continuing to ignore God and His principles and that is a dangerous road to travel. Lets make a difference in 2008 and vote in accordance to Gods word and turn the tied.
