I DID IT!

I DID IT! Yep, after that beautiful message on Sunday, yesterday I went to lunch ALONE, on-purpose. Let me point out that in one of my earthly lives, I am European-I mean I love to eat lunch, I love waking up about 10am, and I love to take mid-day siestas (I don’t know how long it’s been since that’s happened, though).

I my other earthly life, I am Asian-I love Thai, Korean, Chinese, & some other Asian dishes. When I was in Korea, it was one of the best times of my life.

My American life, though, is the side where my ‘rugged individualism’ just loves to enjoy lunch & yes, even a matinee, SOLO. And I really did enjoy my lunch yesterday. There were no, “Can I have that, too?” or, “What do you suggest I order?” or “Why do you need to eat that for that price-Shoot, you can cook that at home.”

Nope. None of that at all! I entered the restaurant, knew exactly what I wanted and with book in hand, I ordered a very tender, juicy, well-seasoned 6oz steak, with delicious rice pilaf and grilled veggies. Eating a steak every now and then is also part of my American life.

I enjoyed every morsel. The food was hot, flavorful, just the right portions and filling. Oh, oh, and I had some fresh bread with whipped butter, too.

When I was done, the waitress did not rush me and brought me another glass of iced tea as I sat and continued reading my book. She discreetly placed the check on my table and did not come back until she saw me putting away my book.

IT WAS GREAT!!!

PS. Lest some of you religious types don’t get this, it’s all in fun and I hope it adds a little levity to your day!

Conservatives Need to use Leftist thought in REVERSE!

See, this is a logical PROGRESSION of leftist thought. When the government pays for your well being, insurance, food, homes, education, & other necessities, wants, desires, then, why would those bureaucrats not ultimately believe they own you & your offspring?

What's interesting is that this is really a normative conservative, theological concept, too. And, since Leftism is the most dynamic religion of the last 30+ years (Prager), then it makes sense.

Normative conservatism and traditional religious values proffer the idea that he who pays & provides for the necessities is the owner, landlord, parent, etc. And, certainly, traditional Christianity supports the idea that God owns everything, including us, and we are stewards of his provisions.

So, conservatives, we need to use this same concept in the other, proper direction, to our benefit. We need to use the same thought process that Rahm Emmanuel offers when it comes to 'not wasting a crisis.'

Conservatives need not run, hide, or cower. We just need to be 'meek as lambs & wise as serpents.' — feeling great
