My Dad sent me this quote today...it pretty much says it all.
“You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for,that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."
From “Ten Secrets for a Successful Family” by Adrian Rogers, 1996

Well said! and that's an understatement!!! Power blinds our congressmen and our president from these truths!!!!!
Hey there! I got your message on my blog. I don't have time to "blog stalk" you right now, but I will come visit your site again soon and do a thorough read to get caught up with what you guys are up to in...Houston is it? Anyway, we are officially in Frisco. House and all. Brayden is 6 wks old and Madison is 2 1/2. I love having a boy AND a girl. I'm definately in the "mommy" world right now. Great to hear from you. :)
