Diamond Deliberations Take 7

I read a publication this week from a financial institution that proposed that the recession was over in the mid 2009s. It was the most positive article I've seen on the economy. The tracking that was used indicated that we are gaining in private sector job increases. Additionally, according to their calculations the stock market is right on track. Being somewhat cynical, I am reminded that Wall Street contributed more to Obama than did they did to McCain. Wall Street needs to have the money that is on the sidelines invested. There are people that do not know where to put their money. They probably cannot stand another debacle like occurred in the last two years.
Whatever comes along, I believe that helping people get what they're going to need in all situations is the wisest course. For now that is health and wellness. There is a real need to help things like cholesterol, blood pressure, and overweight conditions
In many cases that can be accomplished with natural products that are effective and safer than many of the pharmaceuticals that are offered. When a person is not at his peak health, he doesn't perform well. Family and job can can suffer. If a crisis like the economy comes along then often the extra stamina to cope is not there.
Stay tuned as there are some real answers within our reach.

With the Economy we have, what does the individual do? I believe that relying on a party or person is fruitless....we are going to have to do much of it ourselves. No one is talking about putting God back at the head of our government, however small powerful groups could do it...It would take some time and some money, but it is doable. With every taxpayer owing over a million per person to pay for the price of legislation on the books, we have to do what citizens do who want to be fiscally responsible...they stop buying things for which they haven't the money. It doesn't matter whether the health care bill is good or bad (it is very bad) we cannot afford it. I don't trust the Republicans to get rid of it.

No government every made the poor strong by weakening the rich. It is a mantra echoed by socialists for hundreds of years. Reid, Pelosi and Obama are evil enough, but the electorate that they have created may bring us down. This is illustrated no better than California. We embrace Brown(?), Boxer (?) the likes of whom have bankrupted our state and now we'll want other states to bail out the richest state in the union.

We need to create new income streams. While doing it we can improve our family and safe guard our kids. The Internet offers some opportunities in MLM or Internet traffic. Most of these are in the guise (good) of personal development with a product or products to monetize the journey. Putting our Maker where he belongs in this should give some hope for all who participate. If we remain with the world we will go down with it.

Looking for a Blessing? Check out the first three chapters of Revelation....what church of the seven are you aligned? I learned that the church I attend is most closely aligned is Thyrotyera (sp) and not Philadelphia...had to make some changes...not necessarily to change edifices but to change worship and get with a Bible study group. If you're doing that then you're on the right track. Why think about doing something different?....I don't wish to go through the Tribulation. Don't believe the Rapture is near?... that's OK, we'll explain it on the way Up.

May the Lord Richly Bless you

Allot of unhappy people in California who believe in Constitutional Government. Nancy Pelosi is gone, but there will be others to take her place....Boxer and Brown are here so this great state still hasn't much of a chance ....have you heard of Savage's book, Trickle Up Poverty? By their fruits you shall know them the Reede's the Boxer's, the Pelosi's....social security will fail for largely the fact that these evil souls support abortion.

A gentle man, David Filante, will be with the Lord before some us. Loved by his family and known for his unfettered thinking (selfless and conservative) he was known to sellout to a principle rather than a person unless that person embodied the principle. A true friend who will be sorely missed by me and many others. You'll be quick to recognize him in heaven as he will be helping to wipe away tears and engaging folks with a kind word and a ready smile. God Bless you Jennifer, he'll be waiting for you.

May the Lord richly bless us all

Lot of chickens being counted before they hatch. We have such a crisis in this country, that the Republicans can't wait to fix it. They didn't do a wonderful job when they had control of both the Senate and the House...they promise they'll do better. They will not do unless they put God back into Government...let us see if they will or have the courage to make it work.

God Bless one and All

Saturday October 30...election is next Tues. The interest on our Nation's debt is at least 2.5 billion a day. The Sages say that we will be insolvent in 12 to 18 months. Scarier than Halloween. The Democrats hate it when we compare our situation to Hitler in the 1930s; however Hitler was brought into power with 33% of the vote and the Germans never had another real election. The Republicans talk of turning things around, but even if they get good numbers, there are enough appeasers that they will want to keep some of the Obama care...they won't tell you that now. The current government has taken over vast parts of the economy...GM, Chrysler, much of the saving and loan, student loans.
The fifty million abortions that have been done "legally" have decimated our system of government. Those fifty million could be paying into social security, if they were part of the work force, could close our borders (we should anyway) and have workers aplenty. Babylon was used as a punishment for God's chosen. Could it be that Obama, Clintons, Pelosi, and Reade are being used to punish us. Some feel that unless we have Jesus as our head we are not going to climb out of all this.
Solution: vote your conscience, join a prayer group and take Kyosakis advice and establish multiple income streams.

As the two main parties spare, I find that we are pretty much in the middle with our attention being vied for, but the playing field is not level. The politicos already have feathered their bed and however they play it, they do not have the same health care we do. They already already have voted in a nice pension for themselves. I would seem that they just want to divide the spoils of what they already have a large piece.
Chuck, says that we should follow our dream and figure out how to monetize it. Robert says we need more income streams. All seem to indicate that we need to do something different than we do...That all takes effort and a bail out of our comfort zone.
Most of the guys I read feel that the Market has another plunge coming. This would behove us to find another income stream...in the next few weeks, I'll out line some thoughts on this. I hope to couple this with a few points of the seven years that someone went through following a bankruptcy.
I read today that there is a conspiracy against us and our achieving success...as Pogo discovered, "it is us"

May you be richly blessed and beloved

A close relative encouraged me to listen to a talk that Randy Shraoeder gave in Calgary in the Spring. Randy had a concept of people's lives that he likened to a clock. When business was good and life was on the accendancy then one was said to be perceived as if he were at 12 o'clock. If somehow the equations changed then he could be heading toward 3o'clock business wise and credibility perception wise. Going on toward 6 o'clock represented loss of business and credibility. Restoration was in order to prevent the slipping to the 6o'clock. Randy's concept was that with few exceptions many of us are headed toward 3o'clock and some will hit 6o'clock.
If I understand his argument, one needs to find a better way to market what we do or find a new aspect of ourselves (hopefully something we're knowledgeable about and Passionate about)to sell.

With unemployment at a record high the above argument seems cogent. I heard an ad today which proposed that we drop off "gently used men's clothing" at the Men's Warehouse to be available to those that needed them to go to job interviews. When I avail myself of this service I picture myself as being highly motivated or hungry or both. Before that happens, I believe that posturing myself on or off line to market my own product or someone else's product would be much more palatable.
What to market? I met an attractive Tupperware sales lady the other day. She had taken proactive action and has created a nice niche for herself and family. Couldn't be passionate about something like that? Two points: direct sales is the most lucrative activity one can engage(I am speaking of legal activity) and the second point is one tends to be fond of those things he at which he becomes skillful.
Where could one get help? I am reminded of a recent poll that stated that 78% of those polled said they were Christians (hopefully most of the rest are Jewish) so I am not timid to relay Chuck Missler's admonition to seek Biblical help (you bet I have the reference)and you will, so armed be led in a positive direction.
I was reminded that when the economy turns around??...do I think so...maybe, but I remember what Billy Graham said, if God doesn't send judgement soon on California then he'll have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah

May you be blessed and Highly favored
