Monday Ten

1. I've been going through a bout of writer's block the last few weeks, which has led to fewer posts. Hopefully, that will clear up, and we can get back to some more posting.

2. Feel free to post your thoughts and ideas to my posts. Sharing ideas is a good thing. But, please, no solicitations or advertisements. I remove those, so I'm just saving you the trouble of writing.

3. One of the best things I have done is befriend a liberal. I'm conservative in politics, culture and philosophy. My liberal friend hasn't changed any of my opinions, but he has allowed me to see how liberals think.

4. Healthcare legislation appears to be ramping up for a vote this week or next. If Democrats push through what the American public doesn't want, I would anticipate rioting in the streets...or at least some peaceful protests. Regardless the outcome, I expect the Democrats will suffer their worst-ever political defeat this coming November. You cannot be that bull headed toward what the public doesn't want, and not receive a backlash.

5. When the Dems lose power, and I believe they will, the GOP will probably do something to mess it up. 1994's Contract With America was genius. But, the GOP got power hungry, and eventually threw it away. 2010 only has a contract out on Democrats. Without a real vision, the GOP's turn in charge will be temporary.

6. I learned over the weekend that Saturday night church is great for time changes (from standard to daylight), because you get to sleep in on Sunday. Now, for those who throw a fit over Saturday night church, the Hebrew day starts at 6 p.m., so Saturday night is really Sunday. I'll let you chew on that for a while.

7. Our church is going through another series on money and finances. We did this last summer, and this month we are revisiting the subject. What makes it interesting for me is that my wife and I were in debt last summer, paying the minimums. We're debt free now. Hearing talk on getting out of debt feels a lot different now than it did a few months ago. Freedom feels good.

8. My kids like Star Wars. At one time I thought this would be a good thing (I like Star Wars, too). But, after getting hit with toy lightsabers, and having kids running around the house making lightsaber noises, I'm thinking they need a respite. Perhaps some Spiderman.

9. This week is going to be crammed full of pre-vacation work. What stinks is that when I come back from vacation, I'll still have a ton of work to do to make up for the time off.

10. Next week is spring break. I don't think I have ever taken spring break as a vacation. But, I am this year. Can't wait.
