Bird Seed for the SoulThe awful truth of all this is congress has these pay raises set on automatic pilot so they take effect without having to be voted on. These elected leaders know how unpopular a pay raise would be, especially when many of their constituents are loosing their own jobs, so they put this back door policy into effect so that action will have to be taken to STOP IT rather than allowing it to just go through.

God, the God of Israel, is awe-inspiring in his holy place. He gives strength and power to his people. Thanks be to God! Psalms 68:35 (GW)
I do not know what I would do without batteries. I mean I need batteries! My watches, my various remote 
control devices, the alarm clock, the cell phone, the computer keyboard and mouse, the laptop, each of these devices require batteries to operate.
The only thing more prevalent in my house than batteries, are all the various power adaptors for my electronic devices. There is the TV, the satellite dish, the video recorder with the network adapter, and the amplifier for the surround sound. All these require a six socket wall adapter to plug them all in. Then there is the computer and all the plugs for all the peripheral attachments, the monitor, the speakers, the DVD drive, and the external hard drive.
I have about a dozen power adapters for Satellite radio and razors and rechargers for the cell phone. Even the home phone line needs to be plugged in. There is the network adapter and the wireless adapter for the cable modem and the list just goes on and on and on. How I wish for a wireless home. No more plugs to plug in.
I love the rechargeable batteries but I hate all their wall adapters. God forbid if you ever happen to misplace one, it really is no use trying one of the many others you have lying around because no two are alike. When it comes to power chargers one size certainly does not fit all.
Therefore you can imagine how delighted I was to find this hand-cranked flashlight a few months back. No batteries required and you do not have to plug it in to recharge it! All you have to do is turn the crank and you have light! I thought to myself, “This sounds like a good idea but will it actually work?”
We used to call it robbing Peter to pay Paul, now they call it Social Security. Politics surely does make for strange bed fellows don’t you think?

Jesus, our brother, kind and good, Was humbly born in a stable rude; And the friendly beasts around Him stood. Jesus, our brother, kind and good.
"I," said the Donkey, shaggy and brown, "I carried His mother up hill and down; I carried His mother to Bethlehem town." "I," said the Donkey, shaggy and brown.
"I," said the Cow, all white and red, "I gave Him my manger for His bed; I gave Him my hay to pillow His head." "I," said the Cow, all white and red.
"I," said the Sheep, with the curly horn, "I gave Him my wool for His blanket warm; He wore my coat on Christmas morn." "I," said the Sheep, with the curly horn.
"I," said the Dove, from the rafters high, "I cooed Him to sleep that He should not cry; We cooed Him to sleep, my mate and I." "I," said the Dove, from the rafters high.
Thus every beast by some glad spell, In the stable dark was glad to tell Of the gift he gave Emmanuel, The gift he gave Emmanuel.
