Hey you, yes, the one on welfare for 10 years, this is for you.

I was once told by a woman that she deserved to be on welfare and that the government should be paying her bills because her husband paid taxes back when he had a job.

The others of these at the bottom are more that I liked.

This post is for anyone that is using welfare to live on, instead of as a step up to improve their lives. So, for the person that reads this and is offended by it? I'm not sorry, so don't email me telling me you are offended. I don't care. And yes, I mean every word of this. Oh, and don't waste my husband time trying to tell him about it either. He doesn't care any more than he did the last time you tried.

Be the match - So easy to save a life

I recently found out about this amazing organization. I didn't believe it was true when I first read about it, it seemed too simple and too good to be true. But I signed up, and it's amazing.

I am now able to save lives, simply by being part of Be The Match. You can register here.

If you want more info, Sweet Catastrophe has written an excellent review of the site. Read it here. And thank you, my dear friend, for spreading the word. You are making a difference.

Spiritually Ecouraging Humor

Give God what's right - not what's left.

"Pray" is a four-letter word you can say anywhere.

Man's way leads to a hopeless end - God's way leads to an endless hope..

A lot of kneeling will keep you in good standing.

He who kneels before God can stand before anyone.

In the sentence of life, the devil may be a comma - but never let him be the period.

Don't put a question mark where God puts a period.

Are you wrinkled with burden? Come to the church for a facelift.

When praying, don't give God instructions - just report for duty.

God doesn't want shares of your life - He wants a controlling interest.

We don't change God's message - His message changes us.

The church is prayer-conditioned.

When God ordains, He sustains.

WARNING: Exposure to the Son may prevent burning.

Plan ahead - It wasn't raining when Noah built the ark.

Most people want to serve God, but only in an advisory position.

Suffering with truth decay? Brush up on your Bible.

Exercise daily - walk with the Lord.

Coincidences happen when God chooses to remain anonymous.

Wisdom has two parts -

1) having a lot to say; 2) not saying it.

Never give the devil a ride - he will always want to drive.

A clean conscience makes a soft pillow.

Nothing else ruins the truth like stretching it.

Compassion is wonderful to give away because it keeps coming back.

He who angers you controls you.

Worry is the darkroom in which negatives can develop.

Give Satan an inch & he'll be a ruler.

Forbidden fruits create many jams.

Be ye fishers of men - you catch them & He'll clean them.

Deciding not to choose Jesus is still making a choice.

God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called.

If God is your co-pilot - swap seats.

Read the Bible - It will scare the hell out of you.

Rich Dad University is a SCAM

Selo and I went to this free seminar a few weeks ago. It was put on by Rich Dad Academy, and gave some tips for financial education. They pushed super hard for people to sign up for this more advanced 3 day seminar a few weeks later that cost $1000 a person. Well, Selo and I found some good information from the free seminar and figured we could learn a lot more from the more advanced one. We got a deal to let us both sign up for $500- and bring a guest, and they gave us Robert Kiyosaki's Improve your Financial IQ pagkage. So three people at $500, instead of $1k a person. Not bad for some great financial information right? Wrong. The 3 day seminar was just another gimick to push you to buy into the Rich Dad Academy, which is between $10k and $50k, depending on which courses you want to go to. Sure, we learned some good financial info during the three days, but not enough to justify $500- even divided by three people. It was 50% pushing for the advanced seminar, 25% info, and 25% playing the board game Cash Flow- which was another outragious price. They were selling the game unopened for $200, or opened for $150. But did you know you can purchase an UNopened game on eBay for around $50? Also, when Selo and David each tried to request the contact info of one of the reps there, they were told by the rep "we don't have time to talk to you, no you can't have our contact info".

The whole thing was a waste of time. We could have learned the very same information by browsing around the web and looking at the free content on their website RichDadEducation. The free seminar would be worth your two hours of time, but don't get sucked into the rest of the BS they try to sell to you. It's a waste of money, and not even worth the time spent there.

*Note: This is my opinion of this course. I have no association with Rich Dad, and I am not being paid or compensated for my opinion of this course in any way. If you are intersted in attending this course, or any Rich Dad Academy course, please make your own decision sbased on your own research and experiences.

Long week

Holy goodness, it's been a long week, already. Work is long and hard this week, and next week will be the same. We've been dealing with some stuff from Selo's work, and are having to consider a permanent move to another state. lol Feels like we just got back to Utah! Aunt Anita was finally found, and she is safe. We are relieved and so very grateful. Beka had a Lia Sophia party, and it was a blast. She ended up having the biggest party the hostess had ever finished, and Beka got a ton of free stuff for it. Way to go! Selo is going to a financial seminar this weekend, and we are hoping for him to learn alot. My step-mom's surgery to remove her cancer is Friday, and we're praying the docs will get it all. I look forward to this weekend, when I can sort of relax. We are planning to spend Sunday with my MIL, so it shouldn't be too bad. Anyway, I'm exhausted. I'll post more later.

Wow

I put our Jetta up online today to see what kind of interest there would be.

It's been online on only two sites for barely over an hour. I've already had an email, and had a call. Selo is meeting a gentleman this afternoon who is serious about buying it.

I'm impressed! We love that little Jetta. I just didn't realize other people would love it as much as us!
