Agreed…once you enjoy the benefits of celebrating a weekly Eucharist, you greatly miss the Communion when it is practiced less frequently. Thanks for the insights of encouragement.

My soul aches for the Landis family! As a child I grew up in Farmersville. It was the Landis family that had the big van and took all of the neighborhood kids to Vacation Bible School at Martindale Mennonite. It was because of the Landis family the seed was birthed in my heart to trust Christ with my whole life. I didn’t raise my hand at the alter call that one summer, because I was deathly afraid the church would but a covering on my head. However, the message of salvation, hope, and redemption was so amazing to me even as a child of 8 or 9 years old. It was the first time I ever heard of the message. I remember all of us in the van singing with our whole hearts the songs we sung a Bible school. I have a specific memory of Floyd leading our little choir with a big smile on his face. I pray for my heart to not judge him now. I also pray that the message of salvation, hope, and redemption continues to penetrate his heart. I hope that Floyd experiences total redemption, and that the story of Floyd’s life doesn’t end on this sad note. I trust that it will not.

I think what you said in the last paragraph (about what you would tell him) is true. In my times of biking through the countryside on quiet mornings I’ve thought: How could this serve the same purpose if I HAD to keep up with the guy in front of me to have a job, and if I needed to impress the world to keep any semblance of respect? The professional cycling world lacks reverie.

Either way it was a well thoughtout and nice read so I figured I would leave you a comment. Feel free to check out my website sometime and let me know what you think.

Comment on Ayn Rand On Both Sides of the Economic Crisis by Public Adjuster

I think Greenspan is getting senile, today he said that you can stop asset bubbles by increasing capital requirements. That just increases the cost of credit. The next time you have a real estate bubble, you’ll have the same problem, assuming that banks are still in the business of loaning against real estate. If you want to stop this problem, then eliminate the federal subsidies for real estate development and investment, then require people in that industry to put their own money at risk instead of someone elses. If Greenspan really wants to change the banking system, though, then simply ban 95% and 90% LTV loans. Require a bigger equity cushion. BTW, the “too big to fail” argument is a fallacious one. During the Great Depression, Canada had no bank failures. The reason was that their banks were very large. The banks closed branches, etc., but none of them failed. By contrast, the US was dominated by thousands of very small banks, and we had more than 10,000 of them fail. So there is nothing inherently unsafe about a banking system dominated by large banks. The real problem with large banks is that during good times, they don’t provide enough competition for each other.

Our major issue in this country is our two political parties. Our forefathers knew that a two party system would be our downfall and took steps to try to stop this type of politics, and thus anyone who seriously thinks that politics isn’t corrupt or slaves to Corporate America hasn’t not been paying attention. George Jr. will go down in History as one of the worst administrations in history and I could go on for hours showing why, but my point is that the Obama administration has offered nothing different (besides health reform, granted) and has in fact continued nearly every single Bush program. Obama has almost the same political donors and thus has the same pressures as Bush did. Health reform will turn out to be the most expensive and destructive waste of tax payer money ever. I just wish I could offer a better alternative for other frustrated people, but I can’t and those that think that the tea partiers are the future, remember that Sarah Palin is an important figure to them.

I totally must to get outside a good deal more not to mention eliminate expending most of my night trying to play poker on myspace or facebook on the grounds that as of late i have been unable to ready in regard to this. Even though I can’t disclose that I undeniably agree with every single expression, it’s excellent to start reading some sensible posts as a substitute for the regular trash I see flying all over the internet.

Completely understand what your stance in this matter. Although I would disagree on some of the finer details, I think you did an awesome job explaining it. Sure beats having to research it on my own. Thanks
