There is a organization out there called bountiful baskets this Co-op is amazing fresh fruits and veggies every week. For 50 bucks I get enough of both for not only MY family but for my folks as well. Without this o would be spending that in a grocery store plus more for just my family. Plus it has forced me to use fruits.and veggies I never would have before. I finally tasted fresh pineapple oh my it id sooooo much better than canned. I have mango here to which is my next try. And even fresh artichokes. I hated Brussels sprouts until I tried fresh in a stir fry. So I am extremely thankful for this group. You should really try them out just google bountifulbaskets . Org

An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had recently failed an entire class. That class had insisted that Obama’s socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.
The professor then said, “OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama’s plan”. All grades will be averaged and everyone will receive the same grade so no one will fail and no one will receive an A…. (substituting grades for dollars – something closer to home and more readily understood by all).
After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy. As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little..
The second test average was a D! No one was happy. When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F. As the tests proceeded, the scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else. To their great surprise, ALL FAILED and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great, but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed. It could not be any simpler than that.
Remember, there IS a test coming up. The 2012 elections.
These are possibly the 5 best sentences you’ll ever read and all applicable to this experiment:
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.
This is a time of new beginings.
This is a time of new beginings.
I start out this New year 2012 as a new mama, I now have 3 adorable children. I start out with a new diagnosis in my mental health and physical health folders. And I start out on a new regimen of medications to help keep me in a stable zone. So this year shall be a very interesting one for sure, I know God has plans to lead to amazing places this year. He has shown me one of them already within my writing. He shall test my strength, and my footing. I am sure I will have periods of intense anxiety and fear. But I must rely fully upon him for my strength, He is an awesome provider, father, lover, and friend. Within him is a strength that can move mountains heal any hurt, soothe any fear, and mend any wound. So I look forward to growing in leaps and bounds in His amazing love and I pray that as I chronicle my journey through this journal that I can help you as you follow the paths that you are on.
