President Obama's Accomplishments and Republicans.

Things I’m grateful for during Pres. Obama’s administration:
  1. I once got denied coverage because the insurance company claimed my shoulder injury was a pre existing condition.  Pres. Obama fixed that.  
  2. Obamacare subsidizes all forms of contraception meaning millions of unwanted pregnancies and therefore millions of abortions won’t happen.  
  3. By banning discrimination against sex orientation or gender, he’s kept the government from managing our bedrooms or managing our marriages.  As a Libertarian I love that.
  4. Pres. Obama didn’t start any new wars with Iran, or North Korea, saving us trillions of dollars and thousands of lives.
  5. Pres. Obama didn’t shut down stateside oil extraction and pushed hard on renewables and right now I’m enjoying super cheap energy costs.  The more we don’t need the Middle East the more safe our nation will be.  
  6. He’s addressed the targeting of Black Americans and Police Accountability better than any political leader I can imagine.  Multiple police departments around the country are now clamouring for body cams after several pilot programs demonstrated results.
  7. The gun control reform he’s promoting requires incredibly minimal impact on freedom and makes sense.    
Things Republicans can do to earn back my respect:  

  1. Do something. Show initiative, literally anything, besides complain about Pres. Obama which has been the main activity of Republicans in Congress for the last 8 years.
  2. Drop trickle-down theory completely.  
  3. Take the Libertarian candidates like Ron Paul, Rand Paul more seriously.  
  4. Make firearms training mandatory in American schools along with first aid training.
  5. Set the rate of taxation equal amongst wages, dividends, capital gains, estate, gifts, and cancelled debt by law.  This will end most of class warfare.
  6. Refactor Social Security, health subsidies, education subsidies into a flat guaranteed income for all US citizens.
  7. Go full Libertarian on drug laws and prostitution.  Drop the prison population dramatically and tax all those industries that are currently doing nothing more than empowering cartels.

Bethel is even cooler than expected

Within 90 minutes of landing in Redding, I learned of Bethel students engaged in business solutions to extreme poverty. Monday I heard a powerful teaching from Bill Johnson on how life on Earth offers us the only chance to worship God in the midst of our pain, suffering, loss, and confusion.  When we are in heaven we won't have the chance to give God that gift.  Bill's teaching reaffirmed this ongoing theme that suffering matters.  Suffering creeps me out but I can not deny that suffering somehow leads to intimacy with Christ. Monday night gave me a few a hours to meet a great house church where blue collar types mingled with Bethel alum. Prophecy and healing flowed amidst their faith and love.  God gave me a chance to pray for healing for one of the guys. This tested my faith when his knee actually got a little worse in the first couple of minutes of prayer. That hurt my pride.  Fortunately during the second bout of prayer his knee healed completely.  V...

Royal Family Kid's Camp

For the last week of August, I spent 5 days tending to foster kids at camp organized by Lake Avenue Church and Royal Family Kids Camp . Our entire mission that week was to be the positive, encouraging memories for children enduring childhoods of questionably dark times filled with unknown forms of abuse. I couldn't tell just by interacting with them what they were dealing with in the other 51 weeks of their year, but I do know that when these campers come back next year, they will remember specific conversations they had with us counselors. My primary job was looking after one particular child, “D-man”. Connecting with D-man was new for me. I'm not a parent. I have no pets, not even plants to care for. Being consumed with thinking about another living being for a week straight was completely new to me. D-man is ADD and required the extra herding that comes with not hearing people when they are calling your name. He's quite the "ladies man" a...
