Psa 138:3
In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.
Frank Haley sent me an interesting post yesterday on, Should Wal-Mart run our Country? A look at economic facts Wal-Mart vs. United States. It is posted near the bottom of this CUP.
In a related story we reported last night on NM News and Views, The Unites States Government dumps over 10,000 computers a month! We could use one here at the CUP! Son Lars would rebuild it, get it running! Gretchen needs a computer…….more Government waste!
What a blessing with Gretchen getting her job at the Wildlife Refuge near Mule Shoe, Texas! Thank you for your prayers! Today is son Lars birthday he is 22 and comes home Thursday for Spring break! Please keep him in your prayers. We had a great Birthday celebration yesterday for Sharon, thanks to you all for your emails and calls.
Just one more note on the news front:: Another story that is not really being reported is that Russian Troops have entered Syria! We had this story last night. Let us pray.
I want to invite you to listen to NM News and Views on KKIM weekdays at 4:25, bringing you the news you need to know. You can listen on line at www.mykkim.com
Let’s fill up our cup’s now and get settled in…….If your like Ted and many others, you drink a CUP and then go do some work and then come back for another CUP! Love stories like that! Very heart warming……..
I love reading about the Men and Women of God in our history like John Wesley who along with his brother Charles are credited with establishing the Methodist movement.
Remember my comment from my Grandpa Caraway would passed onto heaven at age 94.”I would rather wear out than rust out.” By the way Grandpa would have been 117 this past St. Patties Day! John Wesley at 83 he could still mount a horse as quickly as ever! When he read a small print book on a return trip from Holland in 1786, the author Sophie von La Roche wrote, “If the Methodist’s principles keep their sight as clear as that to the age of 83, then I wish I had been educated in their sect.”
Sadly enough, that was the last year Wesley could read. In 1789, at age 86, he wrote, “I now find that I grow old……I am an old man, decayed from head to foot. However, blessed be God, I do not slack my labour. I can preach and write still.”
WOW! PRAISE GOD!! What words…what an example for all of us!
I love these words of Wesley’s covenant:
“Let me be employed by thee or laid aside for thee.”
While many Pastor’s simply quit upon their official retirement, MOST are like an old fireman….they hear that fire bell ring and they are ready to jump on the truck and are willing to serve at any moment! AMEN!
Being a former Volunteer Firefighter in Indiana, I still jump at the sound of a siren and I am ready to GO!!!!!!!!
Let us wear out, not rust out serving our LORD! AMEN!
I just love History and I pray more would know the History of the Church and of our Country!
Day 31 of our 40 day Journey:
Isaiah 53:5-6 Old testament Prophecy
He was hurt because of us; he suffered so.
Our wrongdoing wounded and crushed him.
He endured the breaking that made us whole.
The injuries he suffered became our healing.
We all have wandered off, like shepherdless sheep,
scattered by our aimless striving and endless pursuits;
The Eternal One laid on him, this silent sufferer,
the sins of us all.
Fulfilled in Jesus Romans 5:6-8
When the time was right, the Anointed One died for all of us who were
far from God, powerless and weak. But think about this: while we were wasting our lives
in sin, God revealed His powerful love to us in a tangible display—the Anointed One died for us.
Centuries before Jesus was born, God through His Holy Spirit prophesied in explicit details the
suffering Jesus would endure for us.
Let us pray on this.
We continue our study of Faith and Repentance with the sermon that Charles Spurgeon gave in July of 1862, that was before I-Phones everybody!!!! LOL LOL
Since more new folks are joining us this day let’s start at the beginning…….It is so AWESOME to back into history and read the sermons of the great Pastor’s like Spurgeon, the Words, just like the Word’s in the Bible never die………I would print this CUP out…I would share this sermon with your Pastor and Sunday School class…………..It;s not new……..it’s nice and old in our LORD……..I have my CUP of coffee right now and I can just lean back and hear Spurgeon this day………
Faith and Repentance Inseparable
A Sermon
(No. 460)
Delivered on Sunday Morning, July 13th, 1862, by
C. H. SPURGEON,
At the Metropolitan Tabernacle, Newington
“Repent ye, and believe the gospel.”—Mark 1:15
ur Lord Jesus Christ commences his ministry by announcing its leading commands. He cometh up from the wilderness newly anointed, like the bridegroom from his chamber; his love notes are repentance and faith. He cometh forth fully prepared for his office, having been in the desert, “tempted in all points as we are, yet without sin”; his loins are girded like a strong man to run a race. He preacheth with all the earnestness of a new zeal, combined with all the wisdom of a long preparation; in the beauty of holiness from the womb of morning he glittereth with the dew of his youth. Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth, for Messias speaketh in the greatness of his strength. He crieth unto the sons of men, “Repent ye, and believe the gospel.” Let us give our ears to these words which, like their author, are full of grace and truth. Before us we have the sum and substance of Jesus Christ’s whole teaching—the Alpha and Omega of his entire ministry; and coming from the lips of such an one, at such a time, with such peculiar power, let us give the most earnest heed, and may God help us to obey them from our inmost hearts.
I. I shall commence my remarking that the gospel which Christ preached was, very plainly, a command. “Repent ye, and believe the gospel.” Our Lord does condescend to reason. Often his ministry graciously acted out the old text, “Come, now, and let us reason together; though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as wool.” He does persuade men by telling and forcible arguments, which should lead them to seek the salvation of their souls. He does invite men, and oh, how lovingly he woos them to be wise. “Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” He does entreat men; he condescendeth to become, as it were, a beggar to his own sinful creatures, beseeching them to come to him. Indeed, he maketh this to be the duty of his ministers, “As though God did beseech you by us, we pray you, in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.” Yet, remember, though he condescendeth to reason, to persuade, to invite, and to beseech, still his gospel hath in it all the dignity and force of a command; and if we would preach it in these days as Christ did, we must proclaim it as a command from God, attended with a divine sanction, and not to be neglected save at the infinite peril of the soul. When the feast was spread upon the table for the marriage-supper, there was an invitation, but it had all the obligation of a command, since those who rejected it were utterly destroyed as despisers of their king. When the builders reject Christ, he becomes a stone of stumbling to “the disobedient”; but how could they disobey if there were no command? The gospel contemplates, I say, invitations, entreaties, and beseechings, but it also takes the higher ground of authority. “Repent ye” is as much a command of God as “Thou shalt not steal.” “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ” has as fully a divine authority as “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy soul, with all thy strength.” Think not, O men, that the gospel is a thing left to your option to choose it or not! Dream not, O sinners, that ye may despise the Word from heaven and incur no guilt! Think not that ye may neglect it and no ill consequences shall follow! It is just this neglect and despising of yours which shall fill up the measure of your iniquity. It is this concerning which we cry aloud, “How shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation!” God commands you to repent. The same God before whom Sinai was moved and was altogether on a smoke—that same God who proclaimed the law with sound of trumpet, with lightnings and with thunders, speaketh to us more gently, but still as divinely, through his only begotten Son, when he saith to us, “Repent ye, and believe the gospel.”
Why is this, dear friends; why has the Lord made it a command to us to believe in Christ? There is a blessed reason. Many souls would never venture to believe at all if it were not made penal to refuse to do so. For this is the difficulty with many awakened sinners: may I believe? Have I a right to believe? Am I permitted to trust Christ? Now this question is put aside, once for all, and should never irritate a broken heart again. You are commanded by God to do it, therefore you may do it. Every creature under heaven is commanded to believe in the Lord Jesus, and bow the knee at his name; every creature, wherever the gospel comes, wherever the truth is preached, is commanded there and then to believe the gospel; and it is put in that shape, I say, least any conscience-stricken sinner should question whether he may do it. Surely, you may do what God commands you to do. You may know this in the devil’s teeth—”I may do it; I am bidden to do it by him who hath authority, and I am threatened if I do not with eternal damnation from his presence, for ‘he that believeth not shall be damned.'” This gives the sinner such a blessed permit, that whatever he may be or may not be, whatever he may have felt or may not have felt, he has a warrant which he may use whenever he is led to approach the cross. However benighted and darkened you may be, however hard-hearted and callous you may be, you have still a warrant to look to Jesus in the words, “Look unto me and be ye saved all ye ends of the earth.” He that commanded thee to believe will justify thee in believing; he cannot condemn thee for that which he himself bids thee do. But while there is this blessed reason for the gospel’s being a command, there is yet another solemn and an awful one. It is that men may be without excuse in the day of judgment; that no man may say at the last, “Lord, I did not know that I might believe in Christ; Lord, heaven’s gate was shut in my face; I was told that I might not come, that I was not the man.” “Nay,” saith the Lord, with tones of thunder, “the times of man’s ignorance I winked at, but in the gospel I commanded all men everywhere to repent; I sent my Son, and then I sent my apostles, and afterwards my ministers, and I bade them all make this the burden of their cry, ‘Repent and be converted everyone of you’; and as Peter preached at Pentecost, so bade I them preach to thee. I bade them warn, exhort, and invite with all affection, but also to command with all authority, compelling you to come in, and inasmuch as you did not come at my command, you have added sin to sin; you have added the suicide of your own soul to all your other iniquities; and now, inasmuch as you did reject my Son, you shall have the portion of unbelievers, for ‘he that believeth not shall be damned.'” To all the nations of the earth, then, let us sound forth this decree from God. O men, Jehovah that made you, he who gives you the breath of your nostrils, he against whom you have offended, commands you this day to repent and believe the gospel. He gives his promise—”He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved”; and he adds the solemn threatening—”He that believeth not shall be damned.” I know some brethren will not like this, but that I cannot help. The slave of systems I will never be, for the Lord has loosed this iron bondage from my neck, and now I am the joyful servant of the truth which maketh free. Offend or please, as God shall help me, I will preach every truth as I learn it from the Word; and I know if there be anything written in the Bible at all it is written as with a sunbeam, that God in Christ commandeth men to repent, and believe the gospel. It is one of the saddest proofs of man’s utter depravity that he will not obey this command, but that he will despise Christ, and so make his doom worse than the doom of Sodom and Gomorrah. Without the regenerating work of God the Holy Ghost, no man ever will be obedient to this command, but still it must be published for a witness against them if they reject it; and while publishing God’s command with all simplicity, we may expect that he will divinely enforce it in the souls of those whom he has ordained unto eternal life.
II. While the gospel is a command, it is a two-fold command explaining itself. “Repent ye, and believe the gospel.”
I know some very excellent brethren—would God there were more like them in zeal and love—who, in their zeal to preach up simple faith in Christ have felt a little difficulty about the matter of repentance; and I have known some of them who have tried to get over the difficulty by softening down the apparent hardness of the word repentance, by expounding it according to its more usual Greek equivalent, a word which occurs in the original of my text, and signifies “to change one’s mind.” Apparently they interpret repentance to be a somewhat slighter thing than we usually conceive it to be, a mere change of mind, in fact. Now, allow me to suggest to those dear brethren, that the Holy Ghost never preaches repentance as a trifle; and the change of mind or understanding of which the gospel speaks is a very deep and solemn work, and must not on any account be depreciated. Moreover, there is another word which is also used in the original Greek for repentance, not so often I admit, but still is used, which signifies “an after-care,” a word which has in it something more of sorrow and anxiety, than that which signifies changing one’s mind. There must be sorrow for sin and hatred of it in true repentance, or else I have read my Bible to little purpose. In very truth, I think there is no necessity for any other definition than that of the children’s hymn—
“Repentance is to leave
The sins we loved before,
And show that we in earnest grieve,
By doing so no more.”
To repent does mean a change of mind; but then it is a thorough change of the understanding and all that is in the mind, so that it includes an illumination, an illumination of the Holy Spirit; and I think it includes a discovery of iniquity and a hatred of it, without which there can hardly be a genuine repentance. We must not, I think, undervalue repentance. It is a blessed grace of God the Holy Spirit, and it is absolutely necessary unto salvation.
The command explains itself. We will take, first of all, repentance. It is quite certain that whatever the repentance here mentioned may be, it is a repentance perfectly consistent with faith; and therefore we get the explanation of what repentance must be, from its being connected with the next command, “Believe the gospel.” Then, dear friends, we may be sure that that unbelief which leads a man to think that his sin is too great for Christ to pardon it, is not the repentance meant here. Many who truly repent are tempted to believe that they are too great sinners for Christ to pardon. That, however, is not part of their repentance; it is a sin, a very great and grievous sin, for it is undervaluing the merit of Christ’s blood; it is a denial of the truthfulness of God’s promise; it is a detracting from the grace and favour of God who sent the gospel. Such a persuasion you must labour to get rid of, for it came from Satan, and not from the Holy Spirit. God the Holy Ghost never did teach a man that his sins were too great to be forgiven, for that would be to make God the Holy Spirit to teach a lie. If any of you have a thought of that kind this morning, be rid of it; it cometh from the powers of darkness, and not from the Holy Ghost; and if some of you are troubled because you never were haunted by that fear, be glad instead of being troubled. He can save you; be you as black as hell he can save you; and it is a wicked falsehood, and a high insult against the high majesty of divine love when you are tempted to believe that you are past the mercy of God. That is not repentance, but a foul sin against the infinite mercy of God.
Then, there is another spurious repentance which makes the sinner dwell upon the consequences of his sin, rather than upon the sin itself, and so keeps him from believing. I have known some sinners so distressed with fears of hell, and thoughts of death and of eternal judgment, that to use the words of one terrible preacher, “They have been shaken over the mouth of hell by their collar,” and have felt the torments of the pit before they went thither. Dear friends, this is not repentance. Many a man has felt all that and has yet been lost. Look at many a dying man, tormented with remorse, who has had all its pangs and convictions, and yet has gone down to the grave without Christ and without hope. These things may come with repentance, but, they are not an essential part of it. That which is called law-work, in which the sinner is terrified with horrible thoughts that God’s mercy is gone for ever, may be permitted by God for some special purpose, but it is not repentance; in fact, it may often be devilish rather than heavenly, for, as John Bunyan tells us, Diabolus doth often beat the great hell-drum in the ears of the men of Mansoul, to prevent their hearing the sweet trumpet of the gospel which proclaimeth pardon to them. I tell thee, sinner, any repentance that keeps thee from believing in Christ is a repentance that needs to be repented of; any repentance that makes thee think Christ will not save thee, goes beyond the truth and against the truth, and the sooner thou are rid of it the better. God deliver thee from it, for the repentance that will save thee is quite consistent with faith in Christ.
There is, again, a false repentance which leads men to hardness of heart and despair. We have known some seared as with a hot iron by burning remorse. They have said, “I have done much evil; there is no hope for me; I will not hear the Word any more.” If they hear it it is nothing to them, their hearts are hard as adamant. If they could once get the thought that God would forgive them, their hearts would flow in rivers of repentance; but no; they feel a kind of regret that they did wrong, but yet they go on in it all the same, feeling that there is no hope, and that they may as well continue to live as they were wont to do, and get the pleasures of sin since they cannot, as they think, have the pleasures of grace. Now, that is no repentance. It is a fire which hardens, and not the Lord’s fire which melts; it may be a hammer, but it is a hammer used to knit the particles of your soul together, and not to break the heart. If, dear friends, you have never been the subject of these terrors do not desire them. Thank God if you have been brought to Jesus any how, but long not for needless horrors. Jesus saves you, not by what you feel, but by that finished work, that blood and righteousness which God accepted on your behalf. Do remember that no repentance is worth having which is not perfectly consistent with faith in Christ. An old saint, on his sick-bed, once used this remarkable expression; “Lord, sink me low as hell in repentance; but”—and here is the beauty of it—”lift me high as heaven in faith.” Now, the repentance that sinks a man low as hell is of no use except there is faith also that lifts him as high as heaven, and the two are perfectly consistent one with the other. A man may loathe and detest himself, and all the while he may know that Christ is able to save, and has saved him. In fact, this is how true Christians live; they repent as bitterly as for sin as if they knew they should be damned for it; but they rejoice as much in Christ as if sin were nothing at all. Oh, how blessed it is to know where these two lines meet, the stripping of repentance, and the clothing of faith! The repentance that ejects sin as an evil tenant, and the faith which admits Christ to be the sole master of the heart; the repentance which purges the soul from dead works, and the faith that fills the soul with living works; the repentance which pulls down, and the faith which builds up; the repentance that scatters stones, and the faith which puts stones together; the repentance which ordains a time to weep, and the faith that gives a time to dance— these two things together make up the work of grace within, whereby men’s souls are saved. Be it, then laid down as a great truth, most plainly written in our text, that the repentance we ought to preach is one connected with faith, and thus we may preach repentance and faith together without any difficulty whatever.
Having shown you what this repentance is not, let us dwell for a moment on what it is. The repentance which is here commanded is the result of faith; it is born at the same time with faith—they are twins, and to say which is the elder-born passes my knowledge. It is a great mystery; faith is before repentance in some of its acts, and repentance before faith in another view of it; the fact being that they come into the soul together. Now, a repentance which makes me weep and abhor my past life because of the love of Christ which has pardoned it, is the right repentance. When I can say, “My sin is washed away by Jesu’s blood,” and then repent because I so sinned as to make it necessary that Christ should die—that dove-eyed repentance which looks at his bleeding wounds, and feels that her heart must bleed because she wounded Christ—that broken heart that breaks because Christ was nailed to the cross for it—that is the repentance which bringeth us salvation.
Again, the repentance which makes us avoid present sin because of the love of God who died for us, this also is saving repentance. If I avoid sin to-day because I am afraid of being lost if I commit it, I have not the repentance of a child of God; but when I avoid it and seek to lead a holy life because Christ loved me and gave himself up for me, and because I am not my own, but am bought with a price, this is the work of the Spirit of God.
And again, that change of mind, that after-carefulness which leads me to resolve that in future I will live like Jesus, and will not live unto the lusts of the flesh, because he hath redeemed me, not with corruptible things as silver and gold, but with his own precious blood—that is the repentance which will save me, and the repentance he asks of me. O ye nations of the earth, he asks not the repentance of Mount Sinai, while ye do fear and shake because his lightnings are abroad; but he asks you to weep and wail because of him; to look on him whom you have pierced, and to mourn for him as a man mourneth for his only son; he bids you remember that you nailed the Saviour to the tree, and asks that this argument may make you hate the murderous sins which fastened the Saviour there, and put the Lord of glory to an ignominious and an accursed death. This is the only repentance we have to preach; not law and terrors; not despair; not driving men to self-murder—this is the terror of the world which worketh death; but godly sorrow is a sorrow unto salvation though Jesus Christ our Lord.

March 20, 2012. You are worried about something. It is robbing your peace and not helping your health. What you are worried about is something that is out of your control and there is nothing you can do about it anyway. Why worry at all? Right now it is even up in the air and may not happen this time. People are making decisions that will decide the matter. Get back to where you have complete trust in Me, and let this be a lesson in faith. When you can’t fix something or do anything about the outcome let it go. Surrender it all to Me. I am the one who can fix it.

Are You a Musician or do You Know One?
Whether you play a musical instrument in your school band, as a weekend hobby, or as a professional, you may be at risk for a common skin condition: Contact dermatitis.
It is characterized by a rash that can occur anywhere on the body (typically the hands and face in musicians) and is caused by something that comes into contact with the skin, which makes the skin become red, scaly and inflamed.
Contact dermatitis can be caused by an irritant or an allergy. While metals, skin care products and cosmetics are common culprits for allergic contact dermatitis, musical instruments pose a potential hazard due to some of the components of the instruments that come into contact with the skin.
Also, please be aware that stress and chronic tension can exacerbate the contact dermatitis.
HAZARDS BY INSTRUMENT:
Brass Instruments (flute, trombone, trumpet, tuba)
•Metals found in the instruments, such as nickel, cobalt, palladium, silver and gold, can cause contact dermatitis.
•Lip swelling can result from the pressure of forcing air through instrument mouthpieces.
•Infections of Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA and non-MRSA) and herpes simplex virus can spread through the sharing of mouthpieces.
•Human papillomavirus (HPV) and Hepatitis A, B, and C also can be spread if instruments are not cleaned properly.
Woodwind Instruments (bassoon, clarinet, oboe, saxophone)
•A variety of specific allergens are responsible for irritant contact dermatitis in these musicians.
•Cane reeds
•Chromium
•Cobalt
•Exotic woods
•Nickel
•Lip swelling, infections and the spread of viruses (as described above) also can occur from playing these instruments.
String Instruments (cellos, violas, violins)
•The composition of these instruments and products used with these instruments may contain allergens that can cause contact dermatitis in musicians.
•Chromium
•Exotic woods
•Nickel
•Paraphenylenediamine (staining agent for woods)
•Propolis (bee glue), a component of Italian varnishes used in all Stradivarius violins
•Rosin
TREATING CONTACT DERMATITIS:
See a Dermatologist
•To determine whether the contact dermatitis is due to an irritant or an allergy, it is important for musicians to see a dermatologist for proper evaluation and treatment.
Take a Break
•Whether the dermatitis is caused by an irritant or an allergy, refrain from playing the instrument while the skin heals. A dermatologist can perform patch testing to identify the cause of the dermatitis. Once the cause is known, the dermatologist can help the musician determine what changes should be made in order to return to playing the instrument.
•Topical corticosteroids or calcineurin inhibitors, such as tacrolimus or pimecrolimus, can allow the dermatitis to heal.
Change is Good
•If the musician has irritant contact dermatitis caused by friction or pressure, modifying the area of contact with the instrument – such as wearing protective gloves – may help improve the condition.
•If allergic contact dermatitis is the culprit, substituting the component of the instrument causing an allergic reaction with another material is recommended.
•For example, mouthpieces and guitar strings are available in different compositions.
•If a change is not made, the dermatitis will recur more rapidly with each exposure.
TIPS FOR SHARING INSTRUMENTS:
•If sharing is to occur, mouthpieces must be cleaned with soap and water or with alcohol to prevent the spread of infection.
•Keep instruments clean and replace worn or damaged parts in intimate contact with the body.
•Practice good hygiene.
NATURAL HEALTH CARE TIPS:
· Try a gluten free diet for at least six weeks, and then add gluten-containing foods back in to your diet one at a time and see if the contact dermatitis improves.
· You’ll want to avoid peanuts, soy of any kind, wheat, sugar, chocolate, fatty foods, processed foods, strawberries, and dairy products. Eggs may or may not flair up the condition.
· Massage a tea tree oil antiseptic cream into the skin after contact with the irritant. You can purchase this from any health food store.
· Use a shower filter because the chlorine will greatly irritate the contact dermatitis. Keep your house humidified and take fewer showers and baths because they will deplete your skin of its natural oils.
· Supplements: Fish Oil capsules – one in the AM, one at lunch time, and one in the PM. Betaine HCL (do not take if you have excess stomach acidity) is great for folks with contact dermatitis because they often have low levels of hydrochloric acid. Take as directed on the label. Can be purchased in a health food store. If your contact dermatitis is “pretty bad” then you’ll want to try “Kelp” because it contains iodine and other minerals that are needed for the healing of skin tissue. Take 1,000 mg per day or as the label directs. The homeopathic remedy is usually “Silicea” – take as directed on the label.

Thank you Dr. Joe!
Now Frank Haley asks, should the people who run Wal-Mart run the United States of America????
Wal-Mart vs. The United States Government:
1. Americans spend $36,000,000 at Wal-Mart Every hour of every day.
2. This works out to $20,928 profit every minute!
3. Wal-Mart will sell more from January 1 to St. Patrick’s Day (March 17th) than Target sells all year.
4. Wal-Mart is bigger than Home Depot + Kroger + Target +Sears + Costco + K-Mart combined.
5. Wal-Mart employs 1.6 million people, is the world’s largest private employer, and most speak English.
6. Wal-Mart is the largest company in the history of the world.
7. Wal-Mart now sells more food than Kroger and Safeway combined, and keep in mind they did this
in only fifteen years.
8. During this same period, 31 big supermarket chains sought bankruptcy.
9. Wal-Mart now sells more food than any other store in the world.
10. Wal-Mart has approx 3,900 stores in the USA of which 1,906 are Super Centers; this is 1,000 more than it had five years ago.
11. This year 7.2 billion different purchasing experiences will occur at Wal-Mart stores. (Earth’s population is approximately 6.5 Billion.)
12. 90% of all Americans live within fifteen miles of a Wal-Mart.
You may think that I am complaining, but I am really laying the ground work for suggesting that MAYBE we should hire the guys who run Wal-Mart to fix the economy.
This should be read and understood by all Americans… Democrats, Republicans, EVERYONE!!

a year and we import more oil than ever before. You had 32 years to get it right
and it is an abysmal failure.
You have FAILED in every “government service” you have shoved down our
throats while overspending our tax dollars.
Thanks for sharing Frank! Makes one think!
