12. An American Holiday On The Fourth Of July June 16, 2008 John Adams thought that America's birthday would be celebrated every year on the 2nd of July. Adams thought that the vote by the Continental Congress on July 2, 1776 to secede from British rule would become the date that Americans would honor throughout the ages. Ultimately, he would be proven wrong on his prediction of the day each year that America celebrates its independence. In fact, Adams would be two days early in his forecast of America’s annual birthday. It was on the fourth of July 1776 when the Declaration of Independence was actually ratified. The Declaration of Independence w... (read more) Author: James Smith

I've seen this happen thousands of times. An entrepreneur is seemingly working HARD to get clients, working like a dog to bring in some good in-come and yet, the results just aren't showing up.

16. Hi Ho, Hi Ho May 08, 2008 Do you think when they asked Thomas Jefferson for his ID, he just took out a nickel? - from Musings I can't, for the life of me, recall how I emerged from the haze of those days. But one (relatively) clear morning, I awoke to the aspiration of leaving substances behind, and a hankering to rejoin the establishment. In need of gainful employment, I applied for office work. As luck would have it, I submitted my dog-eared, coffee-stained resume to the winner of the annual Employer-from-Hell award. Born and raised in Skinflint, Michigan, when Cuthbert M. Philbot read that you... (read more) Author: Josef Graf

17. What?! Luck Comes from Hard Work? May 07, 2008 When I complained about my lack of luck to a friend of mine, she quoted Thomas Jefferson, 3rd president of the United States, who said, "I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it." It is easy to be scared of real work. Thomas Edison, American inventor said, "Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work." Do you believe success is a matter of luck? Does opportunity or luck elude you? Do you believe famous people are just "lucky" because opportunity has found them? What about comedian Tim Allen?

18. Mythology Alive and Well April 22, 2008 We print pictures of George Washington on our money, we hang his picture in our state and federal buildings, and throughout our school systems we teach the history of George Washington. Yet, when the Continental Army under George Washington was deserting because they had little food, arms, and the situation looked as if it couldn't get much worse, it was not Washington, Adams, Franklin or Jefferson who provided the faith and money needed to carry on--it was Thomas Paine. Why then is Mr. Paine not honored and loved by every American who ever lived? That's an easy question. He spoke out ag... (read more) Author: Bob Miller

20. Presidents' Day: America's Top Presidents February 10, 2008 Presidents' Day is a national holiday in America. It is a day of honor for all the men who have served in the office of President of the United States. As I researched how people rank the men that have held the highest office in this land, I was somewhat surprised to be challenged by the definition of the term "rank". Indeed, I saw lists of the "hottest" Presidents of all time. This beauty list usually includes Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan, Thomas Jefferson, Franklin Pierce, and Teddy Roosevelt. I saw lists of the best Democratic Presidents of all time. Of course, there were lists of the best ... (read more) Author: James Smith

22. The Osteen Bible and other Apostasy Milestones January 07, 2008 The word apostasy is derived from the Greek word apostasis which literally means “desertion.” In the last few years of time as we know it the Bible clearly promises there will be a falling away or apostasy in the church and in long held theological principles. If you need to ask if an apostasy or a desertion is occurring today you probably don’t own a radio or a television set. Long held beliefs are being questioned, set aside and abandoned altogether with alarming frequency. Here are some prime examples. On January 5, 2008 a CBN newswomen Kristi Watts interviewing mega pastor Joel ... (read more) Author: Michael Bresciani

It is important, really important I feel, to not only do our civic duty and responsibly research who matches up to our particular preferences, but to make sure and vote. As Thomas Jefferson once said, "If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be."
