Poor Prices Changed Corn from Feed to Fuel We Had Everything But Money pg. 46

This week’s story reminds me of the stories my late mom used to tell me about families coming together after a long day of picking Juniper berries. Mrs. M. Paneitz wrote about when the prices for corn dropped to $.10 a bushel. That’s terrible. Her family lived on a farm so they always had plenty of food. Just not enough money for fuel to heat their home which was common. 
There came a time when her parents had to make the hardest decision they ever had to make. Use the corn for fuel. The cobs were used in the kitchen stove so they knew it would work for the furnace in their basement. On the day when Mrs.Paneitz’s father backed a wagon full of corn to the window to the furnace room to dump all the corn in the room, her family noticed that their father”s hair started turning gray.

War Is A Racket

  This is an excellent quick read. If you don’t have ADHD, it’s a quick read. I started this book before Thanksgiving so between the holidays and every day crazy train I finally finished it. Of course, I made notes in each chapter about my thoughts. We’ll see if this helped compared to the chapter-by-chapter review we did on The New Confessions Of An Economic Hit Man by John Perkins.  Throughout the book, General Butler covers the ins and outs of war. He looks at the financial cost and the human cost. He starts out by explaining how the military-industrial complex was formed. Which I do think is critical. Most people in America don’t understand what the military-industrial complex is. Never mind how it is used. I am not going into detail here just read The New Confessions Of An Economic Hit Man. You will understand the order in which things unfold. The minority of Americans know who profits from war and who doesn’t. General Butler covers that as well. You will notice I said ‘m...

How America Angered God Lust

  We left off at Wrath. Now we will continue this list and finish it out. Sin: Lust This is the sin that nails us all. It is wanting power, pleasure, and money. Not necessarily all of these but one or all.  I grew up in the 1980s so when I think of examples of this particular sin I am reminded of Jim Baker and Jessica Hawn. He was married to Tammy and lusted after two things; money and Jessica. Their lust brought them down in the end. Tammy had her own lust for money that contributed to their downfall.  Ten Commandment:  Thou shall not commit adultery.  Virtue: Chastity Being chaste is recommended by Christ. In the book of Mathew chapters 19: 12 and 22: 20 Christ talks of being chaste. Being chaste teaches discipline. https://youtu.be/7Y8lHwOIu_A
