Fighting World Hunger, One Garden at a Time

My kids inhale fruits and veggies. I can hardly keep up with them. At the same time, fresh produce is expensive, and when trucked in from foreign parts, not always the most fresh. A lot of people would probably attempt a garden, but traditional gardens frequently require a lot of space, time, water, weeding, seeds, etc. It's exhausting and intimidating, just thinking about it. Our family was really excited to find out about the Square Foot Gardening Method, a few years ago, and have enjoyed great success (though we have learned we need to use seed varieties friendly to our area of the country, and made for our growing season). But, the Square Foot Method achieves "100% of the harvest," while requiring only:

50% of the cost

20% of the space

10% of the water

5% of the seeds

2% of the work

Also, this method is kind to those with limited health, children, the elderly, and even those who can't bend down, or get down on the ground to garden in the traditional way. What's more, this method is being taught all over the world to help those in poverty, with limited means, water, space, etc., grow nutritious foods, lifting them out of malnutrition.

The Perpetual Education Fund: Helping those who help themselves

The saying goes, "Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day; teach a man to fish, and he'll eat for a lifetime." Take a look at a really neat program which provides the opportunity for young men and women, with courage and determination, yet limited means, to realize their personal dreams for higher learning, that they might escape the cycle of poverty. This is an example of real hope and change.

Hmmm.

Again, this line of thinking might be nothing more than a theory, but the International Cap and Trade (Tax) plan does call for the formation of a new "government." Either way, our country's galloping, run-away spending, and lack of accountability is going to pull us all up short. Really short. Leveling the playing field means that everyone will be living life based on the lowest common denominator.

Personally, I believe there are those who promote the myth of over-population, with the idea that the world will be better off if they have to share it with fewer people. Of course, they want you and me to be out of the picture, leaving the world for their own personal interests. Heaven forbid that these "progressive" thinkers should have to make any personal sacrifices. Reminds me of Animal Farm--"everyone is equal, but some are more equal than others." Their appalling selfishness and willingness to watch millions suffer needlessly, in order to reach their grossly misguided goals leaves me speechless.

I have to wonder, also, if our current federal administration isn't in on this idea of over-population, with all their radical czars, and the President who hand-picked them, their love of created crisis, purposefully steering our country over the cliff towards economic and social ruin, promoting fiscally disastrous policies like the failed bailouts, government-mandated health care, same-sex marriage (unions which don't produce children), a demoralized military, and pro-abortion legislation.

Just sayin.'

“Gay” Activists Mull “Organized Terrorism” Against Christians

by J. Matt Barber

Story here.

When you combine this article, with the statement from my previous post, you have to sit up and pay attention. Remember folks, every adult citizen has the legal right, and responsibility, to participate in a democratic election. However, there is no legal right to win the election. Any retaliation against Christians (or any person, for that matter), with regards to same-sex marriage legislation, is an act of domestic terrorism/hate crime, and should be treated as such.

Absolutely the Best of Intentions. . .

From the Bangor Daily News, the following:

Re: The vote to repeal Gay "Marriage" (aka sex-segregated marriage) in Maine:

"In a defiant speech to several hundred lingering supporters, No on 1 campaign manager Jesse Connolly pledged that his side “will not quit until we know where every single one of these votes lives.”

No doubt Jesse Connolly wants to personally bring flowers and balloons to each of the Yes-on-1 supporters, to show his appreciation for having done their civic duty by participating in a democratic vote and voting their conscience.

Right?
