The way we are headed

An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before,
but had once failed an entire class.

--------------------------------------------

That class had insisted that Obama's socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.


The professor then said, "OK,
we will have an experiment in this class on Obama's plan".


All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A.


After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B.
The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy.


As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little.
The second test average was a D!
No one was happy.


When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F..

The scores never increased as bickering,
blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.


All failed, to their great surprise, and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.


Could not be any simpler than that.

Dumpster Diving

So this weekend I had a wedding and I went down to the wholesaler where I always get my flowers. Apparently the truck did not bring one of my items (the most important one) and would not be coming in until the next morning, which did me no good. The bride wanted red roses with stephanotis. Stephanotis is really a one of a kind type of flower and you cant substitute it without most likely upsetting the bride.


Here is the stephanotis, you have probably seen it before, its a very popular special wedding flower.


So i had to do some searching and found a different wholesaler in Salt Lake. So Amber was nice enough to come with me and we found ourselves a sweet little treat in the process. (Just to clarify, i did NOT get the stephanotis out of the bride, i would never use garbage flowers for a client!) I dont know if it was just because it was right after valentines or we just happened to be in the right place at the right time. As we were leaving the parking lot of the new found wholesaler, the dumpster right outside was FULL of bundles of roses. HUNDREDS of roses and hydrangeas. We grapped about 8 bunches (which is about 16 dozen)! Jealous right? Well we did have to go through the garbage but who cares. I put together a sweet little arrangment for myself, and one for amber too. I was seriously so giddy. I might drive up there again to see if i get lucky again.




These arrangments have about 70 roses in them and would normally cost about $200!

Faith and Prayers

Just in case you wanted to ball your our eyes out, and if you have some time on your hands. These stories of such strong mothers will undeniably change your perspective on life and your children, even your unborn children. Because I am not a mother...yet...and it already makes me want to be a better one and to NEVER take life for granted. Reading these stories have strengthened my testimony of prayer and faith, I cant comprehend how much faith these mothers had.
