Are they really poor?

So I heard them talking on the radio the other day about poverty. This of course would be talk radio and I listen to it because I'm becoming old. They said something like 40% of those in poverty have cable tv. Some of you would say that's crazy not true. Let me tell you it is and I wouldn't doubt if the number was higher. Trust me I install these people every day. I actually heard someone say the other day I don't know how I'm going to get the money to buy food for my baby as she's holding an infant in her arms and I proceed to work on their cable. I feel sorry for the child and what it's being put through, but it seems to me the answer is simple. They have tv phone and internet. Get rid of the tv and internet at least and find the cheapest phone possible. There is something wrong in society when tv takes precidence over food. Apparently they would rather watch what they could eat then have it. I am all for helping out the poor in this country, but I don't think the answer is more money as government usually wants to throw at them. I think the answer is Education and Love. I've recently thought it would be really cool if the church would go hold a seminar in the poor parts of town that taught on how to spend your money wisely. Obviously there are parts where money is needed and I have no problem giving to those, but I think more importantly people need to see where they have fallen to and need someone to help them see that there is hope to get out of the mess they are in.

I scored 1300 and it called me a newby. Oh well.

Itunes

Have you ever gone to the free download of the week on Itunes. I think it's a great thing and sure there's a lot of the music I don't like but there's some I do and I download it. Have you ever looked at the comments on this section though. Every time there are tons of people saying that Itunes needs to put up better songs for download. Is it just me or is there something wrong about complaining that you don't like the free songs. It's free. They aren't forcing you to take it. Sure it's fine you don't like it but don't complain about not liking the choices because you aren't paying for it. To me it shows the attitude of our American society. We all too much believe that we deserve something. We think that we are entitled to things that are not ours. This may be a little thing about not liking their picks but I think the attitude behind it is a big thing.

Life Change

Well I did not get accepted for the position, but I am keeping my eyes and ears open for other ones. You ever have that feeling like your life is going to drastically change over the next few years? I'm starting to feel that at the moment. I have a feeling my current surroundings will be replaced with many new faces and new goals and ambitions. I'm not really sure what to expect, but God is definitely up to something.

I got to see some old friends this weekend. It was a lot of fun. We got to play video games and talk some about old times and have fun in the new times. It has made me realize that I really miss people. I need to be more involved in peoples lives and helping them. It's the form of how I am going to do this that I am struggling with. We will see what ends up happening.

hmm

So I applied for a job at a church the other day. I am really hoping that it is going to work out because I keep feeling this huge desire to work with people in ministry again. I think this year off from the church has been really important for me though. God definitely had his hand in it and I think he is ready to move me again. This past year has helped me in many things such as:

1. Marraige- It has allowed us a lot of time to spend with each other instead of being caught up in many other things. I think the extra time has gotten us started off on the right foot.

2. Seeing others- It has helped me to see others needs and how much I really have as well as how people really do treat others.

3. My Relationship with God- It has helped me to realize that this is what I really need to make it through each day no matter what job.

Birthday

Yeah so today is my birthday, but more importantly and cooler it is my wifes birthday. That's right we have the same birthday and were born the same day about 5 hours apart. It's like were twins, but not because then we definitely wouldn't be married. I wonder how many other couples have the same birthday. Maybe we should be in the guiness book of world records or something. By the way that's a really long book title and what record did guiness set anyway.

Google Analytics

So I looked at my google analytics today and saw all the different countries where people were coming from and below it said Visits from other territories and there where 11. This freaked me out for a second. You may think why do I care if peole from other countries visit my site, well I don't I welcome them. It's just that I misread territories and thought it said terrorists.
