Wanna see exactly why we are in this financial crisis?
I was surprised to learn that it is an actual goal of government to make sure that everyone has a home. everyone. should everyone have a home?? …. shelter yes, home… I don’t think so.
Largely I wish you’d keep your gospel insights to yourself. So many opinions about something you really don’t understand.
I believe we are here to learn. Learn and progress. More specifically we are to become “more Christlike”; and thus more Godlike. We are well on our way actually. We have bodies like god. We procreate like God. We are able to practice love like God. We are our own agents, free to make our own decisions like God. We are in a testing chamber practicing to become Godlike. If you think this is blasphemy; please just move along you cannot be helped.
There is at least this thing I can think of that we cannot yet begin to practice. This thing which God does so perfectly and so completely and we fail so miserably at. Forgiveness. We speak about it. We only understand a small part of it. It is the biggest thing that sets us apart. Gods capacity to forgive is so beyond our human ability that we cannot comprehend it. But when we do… When we do we will begin to see the world and universe the way God does.
I heard someone say on the radio the other day that a good marriage is the union of two great forgivers.
Dear: Hank paulson (sec of treasury) and Ben Barnake (not sure what you do.. sorry)
I am writing you this letter to wish you well. Hank I Love what you’ve done with you hair, and I have to say I hardly noticed you stutter this morning when you addressed the congress. Ben you are looking dapper as ever. How is the wife?; send my regard please. As you both know, I foolhardily endeavoured to better by myself by going to graduate school. My short sightedness in such an undertaking has landed me in a little bit of a fix with my ”school loan debt”. Any-who since we are old pals and because I kept our little secret from last years American association of financial idiots conference; under wraps. I thought you could do me a little favor. Since “money” in the billion to trillion dollar range seems to come so easily to you I thought you could help me out with my school load debt. A bail-out if you will. Lets call it a “one time” bail out. :) My 160,000 should seem like a drop in the bucket to you. If you could send a cashiers check asap I would appreciate it. thanks.
