We as Christians have a duty to support laws that are consistent with the word of God. Too many Christians get caught up in the political battle and loose sight of the real battle on earth. Our battle is not against men. Our battle is against Satan and his demons, who are trying to destroy the souls of men and women. Men can never change a nation, Only God can effectively change a nation. Until we stop focusing on the political battle and start focusing on the salvation message of jesus Christ, is when we will see God inspired change. Do you want to see our country change? Then do what the lord commands of all Christians and start sharing the Salvation message of our Lord Jesus Christ. Politics will never change the world and politicians cannot legislate morality.

Its irionic that you noted people and politicians say things in the mainstream media whilst in the same comment you basically call Mitt a liar and a "flip flopper". Only place ive seen that term used attached to Mitt is in the media. So you dont like people using the media when its something your against or perceive it as an agenda driven story, but when it fits into your agenda you will glady cut,copy,and paste quotes and terms used in the mainstream media. People have the ability and right to change their minds. I believed in santa claus as a child i do not as an adult guess im a "flip flopper" to. While i believe our government needs cleaning out the democrats historically always grow government, raise taxes and increase our debt. Thats not the reform we want or need. We let the government grow to big and over seeing and we will have stripped ourselves of the power vested in us. Massive government entities can lead only to one outcome control and surpression of free will and choice. And the tax debacle, its all in the numbers. Mitt did and does pay taxes and in fact will have paid more in taxes then low income to middle class family's will pay in their adult lives. If i have $1,000,000 and pay 5% in taxes and you have $100,00 and pay 12% in taxes my 5% of my $1,000,000 is more than your 12%. What you should fight for is lower taxes on the low income and middle class. Or just watch the mainstream media cut copy and paste as needed and where it applies.

I grew up working on a farm raising cattle and growing gardens. We didn't have to, as it wasn't my dads profession, he just wanted us to learn the same values and work ethic he had. He has been gone for over a decade and I still thank him for all that he taught me. He made me a man and you can't put a price on that. I would just like to say you are not only one of the best fighters than ever lived, but a fine role model and an intelligent guy who really gets what life is all about. Thanks so much for entertaining me all of those years. You were the guy that got me back into viewing MMA and it was worth it. Keep tossin them bales and totin feed bags brother!

We allow ashes to be buried on top of their parents plots or at their foot of the grave. We work with them trying to get sometimes the lowest possible cost of burying their loved ones. Some cemeteries only allow ashes to be buried in an receptacle, we do allow just a small box, 6" x 10" . We don't allow anyone to spread these ashes over the top of the grave. Out of the twenty-six burials so far this year, six has been ashes burials. And anymore some ashes can be put into the headstone without someone burying a hole for you, which also cuts down the cost.

I'm a farmer, but also a secretary for my Township cemeteries. I have seen more creamation than ever before cause people cannot pay for a proper burial space, their ashes has been buried on top of their parents plots. And these people are in their 40's, 50's and 60's. That's sad, so how are we better off than four years ago? How come the Democrats keep saying we are better off than four years ago, when we are not.
