Why we need a Universal Healthcare System in America
...because the Church isn't doing it.
Posted also on facebook:
In my opinion, the only practical solution for those who are against a Universal Healthcare System in America, is to beat the government at its own game. If Christians would actually DO the Gospel, they would fill the void that the government is trying to fill.
But sadly, as a whole, we have failed to BE the Church and DO the Gospel, giving our government the perfect segue to attempt to do (expensively) what the Church should have been doing all along. I don't mean writing a check so someone else can do the work. I mean making the food, and bringing it, along with clothes, directly to the people that need it, or seeing to their care when sick. (cf. Mt. 25:41-46)

Doin' too much
I've been doing too much lately. Work has been busy, family has been busy with weddings, keeping up with weeds in the grass, new bed for Bethany, and other regular chores, and Gaelic Football, and going here and going there.
Ugg.
Going to take the weekend off. Will try to organize around the house.
Something I've been looking at is a better food organization like the kind they have at ShelfReliance.com
Pretty cool. I think we have just the spot for one of the bigger systems. Being way out in Belle Plaine, it gives us some peace of mind knowing we can have a good supply of food if we get snowed in.

Good weekend away...
spent a weekend "away" (not far) with my wife, and it was great.
Took a walk on the Stone Arch Bridge, and saw some art, found out about a place to brew beer where they take care of all the mess, saw "UP" (GO SEE IT!), stayed up late, slept in late, watched some TV
Returned home and rearranged some of the downstairs so that our daughter can move into the guest room downstairs by the time school starts.
Sssshhhhh. Don't tell her! It's going to be a surprise when she gets her own loft bed and big room upgrade!

Love my new phone!
I got my Blackberry Storm yesterday!
Much better than my old HTC Touch from Verizon. The Storm has VZ Navigator and access to work email, and just about everything else I could want, including a very nice camera.
Now I just have to get used to typing on this and figuring out how to get my tunes onto it, etc.
Oh, and I should probably get a nice case and car charger for it too. Details....

Made it home
Home sweet home.
Lot's to catch up on.
Sorry for the short and infrequent posts from Guatemala. There was a 160 character limit for text messages, and no pix messages :-(
I think I'm going to get an iPhone when my current contract is up.
Anyway, the trip was a great success, and I plan to upload some photos here soon.
For now, I got a bunch of catching up to do!!!
