We Need Bigger Cars

Now that the average miles per gallon has finally reached 1987 levels, we can get to the economic stimulus of making bigger cars. Without subjecting you to trivial facts, by making bigger cars we can revive the steel industry, the oil companies can make more plastic, and bigger cars means bigger tires. All of which will increase the size of production and our industrial complex.

Following the stimulus practices of our government, we can make more and give everyone money to buy them, even if no one wants to purchase them. We can pave the roads again ( I mean the ones we don't use) and allow the bigger cars to run on the old roads, increasing the need for new tires, equipment replacement and ultimately a new car! Wow, what an idea, I'm glad I thought of it.

Eye the Pessimistic Believer

I guess it has been the past "successes" of Nazism, Communism, Tribal Dictators, and Fascism that has caused the Western Christian community to interpret the scriptures with a great deal of pessimism? And when I add the number of "military conflicts" that USAmerica has been part of following World War II, which comes to thirteen in sixty years (with two still going on), maybe there is pause for despair. Oh yes, we do have the cheesy groups that limit their conversations only to "Think success, be success" (You know...'think the crown -- be the crown'?). They do congregate a large following which could be attributed to the pessimism of society at large and just possibly to the pessimism they find from other church communities.

However, it's time for the USAmerican church to get off their greater posterior position and stand with humility to the hope and sacrifice that is recognized and acted upon in other parts of God's kingdom here on earth. Instead of incorrectly passing the promises of God's kingdom into the future thus relegating the reign of Christ's goodness into a mystic millennium, His ways are now. Within this challenge is both failure and gain, but the fact remains that with a pessimistic dispensational view there will be no success and the gain is more like a cerebral migraine thought to feel good.

Believing that it will only be doom and gloom until the Messiah returns leaves out the fact that the Messiah has already come to us (I think it's remembered as Christmas).  So why do so many of us live with downcast souls? Yes, because of my own willfulness, life has had its difficulties, yet the Spirit of Jesus remains to keep my alive and seeing the beauty of living a dedicated life in His Kingdom.

And I tell you, you are Peter [Greek, Petros--a large piece of rock], and on this rock [Greek, petra--a huge rock like Gibraltar] I will build my church and the gates of Hades (the powers of the infernal region) shall not overpower it [or be strong toits detriment or hold out against it]. (Matthew 16:18 AMP)

To my Jesus freaking friends, remember that you are part of that huge rock, that this motley crew is called the fellowship of God. You are bigger than you think -- you are a LARGE piece of that rock. In humble thankfulness I would call us all to act according to the faith given us.

In ages past, Biblical believers saw the reality of faith and hope in both humankind and His created works. He did not abandon either but declared a covenant, and and sealed it with the coming of the Christ, who broke through the space-time continuum with a promise and governance that makes sense against the pessimism and struggles of life.

We Should Promote Bribes

Thanks to Daniel in allowing me to start posting to this site. I hope to add more comments as time goes by.


The puritanical work requirements of  USAmerica has caused too much success. Today, things are changing and we should promote these changes. The indicators are the scriptural virus checks on society being removed and the greater global market that flourishes by rewarding corruption. Additionally, with corporate and economic leaders being called on their so called 'scandals', we need to get with it now!

The first step is to get a job with a regulatory operation that can withhold services. Then, because we only get wages for the work we do, we are in an excellent position for "a little extra". With these "extra funds" we would make our service-process a little smoother. (Why let our political cadre have all the bribes? I think they call it entitlements or pork, something like that.)

So I propose, as regulators, we could withhold public works unless we receive an extra fee. Or withhold phone service without an extra tax. Better yet, let's limit the choices of educational opportunities so that only certain educational groups would get extra monies for their classrooms or could hire special tutoring for after school learning.

One writer said "Corruption turns every institution from servant into master". So join up now and start making way for all those extras we deserve.
