New Year, New Beginnings

Hi all. Hope you all had a blessed Christmas.
I love New Years....it's not just the start of a new year, but it's a new beginning !
Some people make resolutions. As for me, I don't make resolutions - knowing I've broken just about every one I've ever made - instead it's a time to examine the past year. The good. The bad. Then decide what I want the coming year to be.



Should auld acquaintance be forgot


And never brought to mind?

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,

And auld lang syne!



For auld lang syne, my dear,

For auld lang syne,

We'll take a cup o' kindness yet

For auld lang syne



And surely ye'll be your pint stowp!

And surely I'll be mine!

And we'll take a cup o' kindness yet,

For auld lang syne



For auld lang syne, my dear,

For auld lang syne,

We'll take a cup o' kindness yet

For auld lang syne



We twa hae run about the braes,

An pou'd the gowans fine

But we've wander'd mony a weary fitt,

Sin' auld lang syne



For auld lang syne, my dear,

For auld lang syne,

We'll take a cup o' kindness yet

For auld lang syne



We twa hae paidl'd in the burn,

Frae morning sun till dine;

But seas between us braid hae roar'd,

Sin auld lang syne



For auld lang syne, my dear,

For auld lang syne,

We'll take a cup o' kindness yet

For auld lang syne



And there's a hand, my trusty fiere!

And gie's a hand o' thine!

And we'll take a right gude-willie waught,

For auld lang syne



For auld lang syne, my dear,

For auld lang syne,

We'll take a cup o' kindness yet

For auld lang syne

Disposable People

I've been noticing a very sad occurance happening in the polygamy world.
Lately there has been too many "dissolving families" on facebook....maybe it's just something I've been blind to until now.......or maybe it's just not an occurance in my regular circles....but either way it's distressing.

PEOPLE ARE NOT DISPOSABLE !

WIVES ARE NOT DISPOSABLE !

FAMILIES ARE NOT DISPOSABLE !

It saddens me greatly to see people disolve marriages so quickly and without a care!  Some even get upset at others being upset about the callousness ...... something needs to change.  More people need to get legal contracts in place.  More people need to date longer before jumping into the marriage bed.  Marriage isn't a disposable diaper - you cannot throw it away when it gets poopy !

What gets me is the lackadaisical attitude of  it all.  How cold !  Really doesn't help people's trust issues to know that even though they are told how much they are valued and loved - tomorrow they could be booted without notice.....like an old shoe.
A common factor are the first wives. In most of the instances I've seen, it's the first wives "deciding" that they don't want their husbands having another wife....so even though they may have been the one PUSHING for the husband to get a second wife, and may have found the second wife for the husband...when rubber met road and reality hit - rather than talk through feelings/emotions/issues - they insist the husband put out the other woman or else. We are not talking about stopping dating...we are talking about ending a marriage ! It's so wrong on so many ways it's disgusting and it's NOT what polygamous marriage REALLY IS !! These people who are described here also will be repeat offenders..which is even worse !!!
I have no answers as to how to stop the carnage.  And I also know it isn't the case in all polygamous marriages.

But frankly..........
The sooner polygamous marriages get decriminalized the better.

The Knots Prayer

"The Emperor is Wearing No Clothes!"

http://youtu.be/Ot9bfg7dwDQ

"The Emperor is Wearing No Clothes!" is the original title of this important speech by National Polygamy Advocate, Mark Henkel. This presentation is a tool for Christians and non-Christians alike to use when showing other Christians the 100% proof that the Bible NEVER created the invented "one man, one woman" doctrine. Mark Henkel genuinely provides an effective balance of making an educational speech that, on one hand, Bible-based Christian audiences will know is 100% Biblical and that, on the other hand, non-Christian audiences will feel unpreachingly informed of how to show other Bible-based Christians what the Bible really says about the issue.

Mark Henkel answers and explains the 4 most key arguments:
* The Grace / Law Hypocrisy
* Polygamists in the Bible
* Adultery and "One Flesh"
* Limitations of Only Kings, Bishops, Elders, and Deacons

Online, specific details about Polygamy in the Bible may be found at
http://www.BiblicalPolygamy.com

Using the analogy from the famous story from Hans Christian Andersen, Mark Henkel rightly calls out the truth about what the Bible says about the "one man, one woman" doctrine:
"The Emperor is Wearing No Clothes!"

Whether you are a Christian or not, this speech is a powerful and essential tool to show all Christians the actual fact that the
Bible NEVER Created the One Man One Woman Doctrine.

Five Cogent Sentences - Political

These are possibly the 5 best sentences you'll ever read:




1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.

2.. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.

3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!

5. 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 is the beginning of the end of any nation.


Can you think of a reason for not sharing this? Neither could I.......
