This could be the most important midterm

A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered her altitude and spotted a man in a boat below.

She shouted to him, 
"Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am." 
The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, "You're in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above ground elevation of 2,346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude.
She rolled her eyes and said, "You must be an Obama Democrat." 
"I am," replied the man. "How did you know?" 
"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct. But I have no idea what to do with your information, and I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help to me." 

The man smiled and responded, "You must be a Republican." 
"I am," replied the balloonist. "How did you know?" 
"Well," said the man, "you don't know where you are -- or where you are going. You've risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. 

You're in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but somehow, now it's my fault." 
 
 COMMENT:
You are hearing from political pundits that the party of President Obama, the Democratic Party will not do well during the upcoming election. It's an easy call based on historical fact (the party in power always loses seats).

A big reason according to a poll by the Pew Research Center is that we (minorities) tend to not vote in mid-term elections. Let's change that It's clear that the Republican Party has no interest in helping the President fix the economy or anything else and if they regain power the country will be in far worse shape. 


We all know that the withering attacks that this President faces daily are really racially motivated. In spite of how the media couches their words we know that white (tea party) America does not believe he should be President under any circumstances. 
The President has done some good things and he deserves our support.
 
This could be the most important midterm of our generation, encourage your family and friends to participate; the party that got us into this mess are trying to compound what they did, do not allow this to happen. If the Democrats lose control of the Congress the Republicans will not help Obama to govern, thus he becomes a lame duck and the country will be headed over the cliff.   REMEMBER POLLS DO NOT VOTE

PEOPLE DO.

Living A life That Matters

Ready or not
someday it will all come to an end.


There will be no more sunrises,
no minutes, hours, or days.


All the things you collected,
whether treasured or forgotten,
will pass to someone else.


Your wealth, fame,
and temporal power
will shrivel to irrelevance.

It will not matter what you owned
or what you were owed.


Your grudges, resentments,
frustrations, and jealousies
will finally disappear.


So too, your hopes, ambitions,
plans, and to-do lists will expire.
The wins and losses that once
seemed so important will fade away.


It won't matter where you came from,
or on what side of the tracks
You lived, at the end.



Through each day, our goal is..


to touch one’s heart,
to encourage one’s mind,
and to inspire one’s soul,


May you continually be blessed..
And be a blessing to others..

Jeff Majors Psalms 23

MY CREDIT REPORT


If my life was a credit report and I was trying to obtain salvation, based on my score I wouldn't get it.

My history shows that I've been delinquent in praise, past due in prayer, my worship has been in collections and I've missed a few payments (tithes) or only paid half (you know how we put $20 in the basket and feel like we've done God a favor).

Not to mention that my debt (sin) to income (blessings) ratio is too high.

BUT I thank God that I was able to file bankruptcy (repentance) and it cleared me of all of my debt (sin). Now I have a co-signer (Jesus) whose score is FLAWLESS... Not one blemish (sin) on his report.

So now.... I QUALIFY for EVERYTHING! Most importantly I've inherited eternal life and I didn't have to put one penny down.

All of my closing costs were covered when Jesus laid down His life for me!!!! I hear that my future home has all of the upgrades too.

Hardwood floors? Please!! I'll be walking on gold! : - )

Thank You Lord for Your unmerited mercy, grace & favor!!



BE ALL THAT YOU CAN BE...FOR THAT IS ALL THERE IS!! I'm just sayin'...

Peace & Blessings
