Knowledge = Happiness...What is Knowledge?

"Knowledge is, in every country, the surest basis of public happiness."
-George Washington's First Annual Message, 1790

We have a population of people who have associate, bachelor, master and doctoral degrees at a higher percentage than ever before. Yet, this same academic demographic is so unhappy, feeling the need to parade their discontent in vivid display of hatred for the capitalistic society Washington spent his life establishing.

If Washington's case is correct, then what does this say about our educational systems in America today?

Leaving An Inheritance

What is an inheritance? Obviously houses and wealth are an inheritance given by fathers to their children. Is that the extent of the inheritance? I would say emphatically no! I have been thinking lately about this little phrase:

Rather than leave the world to my children,
I want to make sure I leave my children for the world.
There is a great deal of depth in this little phrase. May God grant me the grace, wisdom and discernment to leave a legacy that impacts the world for Jesus Christ!

Jesse Jackson Jr. calls for President to Extra-Constitutional Action



I am amazed to hear an elected member of Congress demanding the President ignore the constitutionally apportioned separation of powers and to simply do what he sees fit. Here is a link to the interview with Jesse Jackson Jr., elected to represent Illinois's 2nd congressional district.

Impeachment proceedings should begin immediately for Jackson! He is in direct rebellion against the constitution he was sworn to uphold. On top of that, the Ethics panel is currently investigating him for allegedly trying to buy Obama's vacated senate seat.

Vegetarian Meatballs

The other day I took my daughter to a camp overnight event. It was a grand time and a great camp setting. I knew the camp was a Seventh Day Adventist camp, but it had not registered when the staff serving dinner offered me "Vegetarian Meatballs." I responded by saying, "You're kidding, right?"
