And I wanted to comment that you really have a gift for cutting through the "crap" and getting to the deeper issues. I always enjoy reading your writings. They are always poignant, clear and insightful. Thanks for sharing! Dean, I agree with you 100%!

In the morning they had Thanksgiving Breakfast at his roommate's parent's house - on the reservation. They are Christian Indians and they thanked God for the Pilgrims and acknowledged if God had not sent them, they as a people would have been dead, physically and spiritually. This struck me as an interesting observation. The history books like to record the white man as the bad guy, but God had a purpose in sending us over here and it was to do good for us and the natives. Because of sin nature, there were bad people on both sides and horrific things were done to both peoples. It is too bad history gets clouded with our sin - because it drowns out the story of God's provision. Just as an aside: Yesterday, we had a friend over and he brought his roommate.

I was very surprised at the outcome of this election. We'll see just how the people feel about their vote in 4 years. But since Bill Clinton was reelected... I feel you are right about how everyone is looking today to the government taking from those who earn it and giving it to those who don't. I don't look forward to achieving that personal future and having it stripped away from me. For now, I won't let it hold me back. Onward to a successful, profitable future - by the grace of God.
