Find Her and Find Life

12 “I, wisdom, dwell together with prudence;I possess knowledge and discretion.
13 To fear the LORD is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance,evil behavior and perverse speech. 

14 Counsel and sound judgment are mine; I have insight, I have power. 

15 By me kings reign and rulers issue decrees that are just; 16 by me princes govern, and nobles—all who rule on earth.^[a^]

17 I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me. 18 With me are riches and honor, enduring wealth and prosperity. 19 My fruit is better than fine gold; what I yield surpasses choice silver. 20 I walk in the way of righteousness, along the paths of justice, 21 bestowing a rich inheritance on those who love me
and making their treasuries full.

22 “The LORD brought me forth as the first of his works,^[b^][c^]  before his deeds of old; 23 I was formed long ages ago, at the very beginning, when the world came to be.   

24 When there were no watery depths, I was given birth, when there were no springs overflowing with water; 25 before the mountains were settled in place, before the hills, I was given birth, 26 before he made the world or its fields
or any of the dust of the earth. 27 I was there when he set the heavens in place, when he marked out the horizon on the face of the deep, 28 when he established the clouds above and fixed securely the fountains of the deep, 29 when he gave the sea its boundary so the waters would not overstep his command, and when he marked out the foundations of the earth.
 30 Then I was constantly^[d^] at his side. I was filled with delight day after day, rejoicing always in his presence, 31 rejoicing in his whole world and delighting in mankind.

32 “Now then, my children, listen to me; blessed are those who keep my ways. 33 Listen to my instruction and be wise; do not disregard it. 34 Blessed are those who listen to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway. 

35 For those who find me find life and receive favor from the LORD. 36 But those who fail to find me harm themselves; all who hate me love death.”

Let's find her friends and, in doing so, find immortal life!

The True God- The Real Deal

Check this out friends...

 When they heard this, they were furious and wanted to put them to death. But a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, who was honored by all the people, stood up in the Sanhedrin and ordered that the men be put outside for a little while. Then he addressed the Sanhedrin: “Men of Israel, consider carefully what you intend to do to these men.  Some time ago Theudas appeared, claiming to be somebody, and about four hundred men rallied to him. He was killed, all his followers were dispersed, and it all came to nothing.  After him, Judas the Galilean appeared in the days of the census and led a band of people in revolt. He too was killed, and all his followers were scattered.  Therefore, in the present case I advise you: Leave these men alone! Let them go! For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail.  But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God.”

   His speech persuaded them. They called the apostles in and had them flogged. Then they ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.

   The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing because they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name.  Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Messiah.  Acts 5:33-42

My friends did you catch the difference of our Messiah?! The same Messiah of Peter, of John, of you, of your parents, and of me did not die and forever remain in death, but ROSE FROM THE DEAD TRIUMPHANT! And his WORD and his believers were not just any old sayings of any wannabe prophet during the ancient world. But the one and only true Savior! His Word has marched to every corner of the earth, his believers have boldly proclaimed the Good News to all peoples and his Word shall live eternal, while those that obey and follow him shall live immortal. Know that my friends.

WELTERWEIGHT: THE TITLE FIGHT

The fight to end all fights (economically speaking) is here and it goes bruising round after bruising round. It's Keynes v. Hayek and everything is at stake, including liberty, financial freedom, dreams, and happiness. Can you spot them in the film? Check it out, this video has it all- wit, music, banksters, and an ending that is sadly all too true.  Good enough to be a Hollywood production and its in HD.

Bonds Are Bad

Holding long term bonds till maturity is bad, especially in this inflationary environment that our nation is now going through. Our U.S. Treasury Bonds offer very little yield, the 10 year bond now has an annual yield of 3.30% which is no return at all when you consider that inflation is at least running 8% per annual. Bill Gross thinks so too, and he just happens to be the largest single fund money manager in the world. At the helm of PIMCO who manages $1,200,000,000,000.00 dollars, this guy didn't reach the top without spotting investment dangers. And as for long bonds he is positively negative on their outlook.

For more on Bill Gross' outlook regarding our national debt (he thinks its about to get chaotic) and what will happen to interest rates going into the future(the cost of borrowed money) here is the link to his full new monthly missive.   http://www.zerohedge.com/article/bill-gross-treasury-market-collision-course-financial-repression

Turn It Up

Turn up your volume and enjoy. Sang this one in church yesterday and found a decent version of it on Youtube today. A golden three minutes of booming voices glorifying our LORD.  Awesome, amazing stuff my friends...

2011 Today

Here is a bar graph showing price increases and declines for 2011 through May 1st. Notice the best performer by far :) .... Also notice that our dollar is included in the red columns...

Fleeing to Switzerland and China

Ever wonder if the world actually has a country that is growing strong economically?  You would not need to ponder very long because in business all you have to do is "follow the money". Literally, just follow where money goes in the global economy and you will learn what countries are the chugging locomotives of the world and who are the nations on respirators wheezing just to stay alive.

These global locomotives can be seen as Switzerland and China. They have strong economic fundamentals and possess these strong attributes for two reasons. One, they are not bloated with large debts like U.S. and, two, their government is not printing trillions of dollars out of thin air everyday like our Federal Reserve is. Because of their prudence capital is leaving the Untied States(can you say adios) and is fleeing to the Swiss Alps and to Chinese investment growth. And no I am not exaggerating, money is leaving the US dollar and being converted into Swiss Francs and Chinese Renminbi. This capital flight is causing our dollar to collapse and this collapse is also causing mine and yours purchasing power to collapse as well. We can't buy the same amount of food, fun, and gas that we could use to. Ex: remember when the whole original double cheeseburger was on the McDee's value menu? Do you know that its not anymore? Yup, it was replaced by the "McDouble" a smaller and puny cousin of the original double cheeseburger. The McDouble still costs "1 dollar" but it costs a puny dollar. For if you want to purchase the original you will have to cough up alot more than just 1 dollar. Sadly, this will continue to happen everyday for the foreseeable future. The dollar will continue to collapse, while our Swiss and Chinese competitors will continue to gain strength at our expense. Look at these next two graphs and check out how our livelihood is going down just like the lines on these graphs. Money is leaving the US and going else where. Investors are selling stupidity and buying wise policies. Our dollar represents financial stupidity. First up is USD against the Swissie

Next our USD against the Chicom's

The Chinese Renminbi just hit an 18 Year high against the dollar. Our dollar is wheezing friends, Protect yourselves!
