How Lucky Am I?

How Lucky Am I?

by Mark JohnsonNo Comments
I am a simple man, and I believe that often the right choices in life can be the simplest to make. When in question, do what is right. As our nation faces very difficult and challenging times during this election season, I think moving through them requires simply looking back at our core foundation. Why did the men and women of the American revolution want liberty in the first place? What role did their faith play in their lives? Have we forgotten the price for fighting injustice and how precious it's reward is? Has our enjoyment of freedom for so long totally warped the framing of freedom's entitlement? "Not too long ago, two friends of mine were talking to a Cuban refugee, a businessman who had escaped from Castro, and in the midst of his story one of my friends turned to the other and said, "We don't know how lucky we are." And the Cuban stopped and said, "How lucky you are? I had someplace to escape...

Post RNC and DNC: My Four Things

by Mark JohnsonNo Comments
$148 million dollars and two weeks later, the RNC (Republican National Convention) and DNC (Democratic National Convention) have ended and I am motivated to do four things: Remember God's priority in my heart and every aspect of life. If we remember Him, He will remember us. Remember to pray every day for our leaders, nation and world. Live out my best for family, friends and neighbors to make our communities, cities, states, country and world a better place. VOTE! Educate myself. Pray & think about it. Make a choice. Love one another. Live better.  Lookout for corruption. Be aware of wrong. Ask why. Government belongs to US - We The People! Remember these dates: Sept. 26 — Presidential debate at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio Oct. 4 — Vice presidential debate at Longwood University in Farmville, Virginia Oct. 9 — Presidential debate at Washington University in St. Louis Oct. 19 — Presidential debate at University of Nevada-Las Vegas Nov. 8 — Election Day The 2016 Republican National Convention was estimated to have cost $64 million dollars. The...

Should I Stay or Should I Pokemon Go?

Should I Stay or Should I Pokemon Go?

by Mark JohnsonNo Comments
Is indecision bugging you? Should you join Pokemon Go? I was pulled into the fray after hearing the social media buzz and "Pokemon" hunters began showing up at our workplace. I wasn't really into the game as a young adult, but I knew about the game and it's following. WHAT IS POKEMON? Pokemon are fictional creatures that humans known as Pokémon Trainers catch and train to battle each other for sport. The Nintendo game was very popular in the 1990s. WHAT IS POKEMON GO? With the launch of a mobile app, Pokemon Go, recently there's been a surge of Pokemon popularity. Pokémon Go uses your phone’s GPS and clock to detect where and when you are in the game and make Pokémon "appear" around you (on your phone screen) so you can go and catch them. Pokemon fans love this concept since it places the game in their "real" world - thus the augmented reality. The app is free: Android I iOS SIGN UP Use your GOOGLE...

Benjamin Franklin – We Have an Old Mother

by Mark JohnsonNo Comments
We Have An Old Mother By Benjamin Franklin We have an old mother that Peevish is grown She snubs us like children that Scare walk alone She forgets we're grown up and Have sense of our own Which nobody can deny, deny Which nobody can deny. If we don't obey orders, Whatever the case; She frowns, and she chides And she loses all patience And sometimes she hits us A slap in the fact Which nobody can deny, deny Which nobody can deny. Her orders so odd are, We often suspect That age has impaired Her sound intellect But still an old mother Should have some respect Which nobody can deny, deny Which nobody can deny. We'll join in her lawsuits To baffle all those Who, to get wheat she has, Will be often her foes; But we know it must all be Our own, when she goes. Which nobody can deny, deny Which nobody can deny....

Common Sense by Thomas Paine

by Mark JohnsonNo Comments
Introduction to the Third Edition Perhaps the sentiments contained in the following pages, are not YET sufficiently fashionable to procure them general favour; a long habit of not thinking a thing WRONG, gives it a superficial appearance of being RIGHT, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defense of custom. But the tumult soon subsides. Time makes more converts than reason. As a long and violent abuse of power, is generally the Means of calling the right of it in question (and in Matters too which might never have been thought of, had not the Sufferers been aggravated into the inquiry) and as the King of England hath undertaken in his OWN RIGHT, to support the Parliament in what he calls THEIRS, and as the good people of this country are grievously oppressed by the combination, they have an undoubted privilege to inquire into the pretensions of both, and equally to reject the usurpation of either. In the following sheets,...
