It's the Thanksgiving Christmas season, and for some reason I've been working on a lot of bids recently. Of course I'm happy about it. The more bids we put out, the more opportunities to make money, and we've been awarded quite a few jobs. Maybe we'll have a million dollar month before the end of the year. That's my excuse, take it or leave it.
This weekend I bought "Sound of Melodies" by Leeland, and I am unable to listen to anything else right now. How do you go from constantly listening to Zao's "The Fear is What Keeps Us Here" and Flee the Seen's "Doubt Becomes the New Addiction" (Yeah, I listen to this stuff and work in Children's Ministry. Oh, come on you've got to love it.) to Leeland? I don't know.
I had a great Thanksgiving. My dad came down and brought his mom with him. My brother brought his family out. We went to my Uncle's in Cattersville. There were ten adults and seven kids, six of them were under five. It was a blast.
On Saturday, I received a book in the mail that a Youth Pastor friend of mine down in Boca Raton, FL wrote. It's called "Sex was God's Idea", and is targeted towards teens. After all he is a Youth Pastor. I read all the preliminary stuff and the first chapter last night. I'll tell you more about it when I finish it, but so far it's great. If your not patient enough to wait for me, his myspace is http://www.myspace.com/cornerstoneuth. There is a great promo video there. If you've lived a sheltered life, be warned. It's very up front.
Christmas is less then a month away, and I still can't wrap my head around the idea that Thanksgiving just passed.
I'm probably going to cause some problems. Christmas is on a Monday this year, and we are having it at my brothers in Flowery Branch. Well, I'm not going out there until Sunday afternoon. Because those kids in Children's Church are my priority, but maybe I'm seeing the glass half empty. Maybe I should just leave for my brother's right after work on Friday so as not to cause problems.
I've stopped listening to Neal Boortz since last Wednesday. I'm not sure why. It's not like he's changed what he is saying or anything like that. I've known ever since I started listening to him where I agreed and disagreed with him. In fact I'm still reading Neal's Nuze, and I'm still getting and reading the Boortz Blast Newsletter. I guess maybe...I don't know.
Well that's it for now.
God bless,
Mr. Keith
p.s. Try to go see "The Nativity Story" sometime this season. After all, Christmas is about the birth of Christ. No matter how hard leftist organizations try force us to forget. http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/151601,CST-NWS-nativity28.article

The good news: the Republicans lost.
The bad news: the Democrats are in power.
Let's face it. The Republicans betrayed those that put them in power. "The Contract with America" is what put them in power 12 years ago. They have not fulfilled it in any way shape or form.
The Republicans are supposed to be the party of small government, small spending, and national security. The Government has more then doubled in the last twelve years. The only other President you can compare Bush to as far as spending is LBJ, bridge to nowhere any one? He only vetoed one sending Bill.
National security is interesting. On the one hand, we are going after terrorists, yeah Bush. On the other hand, we have more illegals coming into this country every year then ever before. There is almost no border security on the American/Mexican border.
"A New Direction", that's what the Democrats call it.
- Unemployment is at 4.4%, last I read. So what's the new direction, there?
- interests rates have just dropped again. What's the new direction, here?
- The economy is rapidly moving forward. How about here?
- People are holding on to more of the money we work for. I don't need to ask about that direction.
Do I need to go on? Ah, yes the war. We can either fight them there or fight them here. What do you want to do? Remember, in World War II there were single days where we lost more men then we have lost in the years we've been in this war.
We know that under the Demicrats, the Government is going to continue to grow, taxes are going to increase, amnesty is going to be demanded, and "redeployment" (cut & run) will be the talk of the town. Socialism as usual.
We need Newt get in there and kick some Republican asses, and remind them who they are supposed to be.
They have two years of, most likely, Naci Pelosi as speaker. Two years to sit down and figure out how they screwed-up, and how to fix what they have broken.
They brought it upon themselves. They got what they deserved.
Well, at least the Communist Party USA is happy. http://www.cpusa.org/article/articleview/783/1/56/
This country is in God's hand, and I'm not worried. He sets up Governments, and brings them down.
God bless,
Mr. Keith

I doubt any one that knows me or has read any thing on this blog before needs me to explain my views on what John "the poodle" Kerry said the other day.
In case you missed it: "You know, education--if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, uh, you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq."
And now that ____ expects us to believe it was a jab at the President and his policies.
Every one that voted for him for any reason in the past should be so proud of themselves. That ____ has never supported our troops. He has voted against every bill put in front of him that give them better body armor, better equipment, strong vehicle armor, ect.
"If you remember I voted for it before I voted against it." Do you remember that one?
This man, and I use the term lightly, is a liar plain and simple and a traitor in my opinion.
I'm rambling I know, and I'm sorry, but I love our military.
God bless,
Mr. Keith
