I am so tired of hearing people say, "Well, I am waiting on God." Stop waiting on God and take action to solve your own problems. God is not going to do for you what God equipped you to do for yourself. I know a family that is "Waiting on God" to build a room on their small house so their mother will have her own room. Do they really expect God to deliver nails, hammers, saws and timber to their doorstep. They have internet, cable television and a car. They need to decide what is a priority and stop blaming God for their mother not having her on room.
God warned Noah and NOAH build the ark. Noah did not wait on God to build the ark. I do not take that story in the Bible literally, but it sure teaches me a lesson not to wait on God to do all the work.
In most cases if you do not have what you need it is because you have not taken action to solve your own problems. I know there are exceptions. The elderly, physically and mentally ill, children and people with special needs often need a helping hand, but if you are healthy and sitting around on your butt waiting on God remember - the Bible says those that do not work should not eat.
IF YOU DO NOT BUILD IT GOD CANNOT BLESS IT!

What makes us family
It is not flesh and blood, but love, respect and loyalty that makes us family. I have recently witness jealousy and quarreling among a Filipino family and I realize no matter what their blood relation is too one another they are not really family. Yet, they expect the benefits of a family relationship because of blood ties.
The cousins that have not taken advantages of the opportunities they have been given expect the cousins that have worked, educated themselves and done without so they could have more at a later date should share equally with them and guarantee they can live the same lifestyle.
Philippine CRAB mentality at its best! Jealousy at its best! I drew the line in the sand when I helped a brother and sister open a small cafe, people who have been dedicated employees of mine for ten years and now all the losers in their family want a piece of the action. I owe the family nothing and I will not give them nothing nor will I allow those that have served me faithfully share with the losers what I have given them. I have tried to help the losers over the years and they would rather party than invest in their future.
I have given the mother money over the years to only find she gave it to the losers in the family and made out like it came from her - buying prestige. The mother ask me for 300,000 peso to purchase and stock a place in a public market for me only to find out that was a rouse to get the 300,000 she had no intention of opening anything.
I invested in five cows for the oldest brother and half of the calves were suppose to go to my employee and he would keep the other half. He sold the five cows before they ever had calves and my employee got nothing. It was justified by the family members by saying he was the oldest child and the youngest owed it to him. It was not the youngest child's money it was my money and I owed him nothing.
Expats,be very careful when you get involved with helping Filipino families. It is not all that it appears to be. I have helped families all my life and I admit I have been burned a few times, but in the Philippines I have been burned EVERY time! I helped neighbors until my home became an open door mission and I had to stop helping them. They came to think I owed it to them to help them out of their messes. When the help stop they stop visiting. It is strange the true Filipino friends I have are the ones that have never ask me for nothing and expect nothing but my respect and love. They are always there in good and bad times. I do not know how many grandmothers Filipinos have, but one beggars has ask me to help bury six.
I was ask many times to help one Filipino family always in crisis only to have another Filipino show me the family's facebook page and find that I was paying for a grandaughter to participate in beauty pageants, expensive preschool, modeling classes, etc. Yes, I admit I was the FOOL!

Romney is as dirty as the rest!
I said I did not care what Mitt Romney said, but. I do! I do not care what he said about the election because he gave away the 2012 election, but I was disappointed to discover that Mitt Romney was as big a liar as all the other politicians. Prior to his speech to try an bash Trump I thought he was a good and decent man, but he is as big a politician as all the rest.
2012 I watched as Romney said how great Trump was and this morning I watched as he said how stupid Trump is - POLITICS. I thought Romney was a Christian (Mormon) before a politicians, but I have discovered he is all POLITICIAN.

Don't Let the establishment tell you how to vote!
I do not
understand why so many Americans are so gullible. For over thirty years the
Republican and Democrat Parties have promised us the same thing every election
cycle and NEVER DELIVER!
Both parties
have a candidate in 2016 that will promise to bring change and yet those that
complain the most continue to support the old political bosses that have caused
the problems. I am not a supporter of Bernie Sanders because I want nothings to
do with Socialism or a Welfare State. I cannot say for sure that Donald Trump
will deliver, but at least he has not promised me or you change for thirty
years like the establishment and never delivered. I am willing to give him a
chance!
I could care
less what Mitt Romney thinks of Donald Trump it was Mitt Romney that failed us
in 2012 not Donald Trump. I could care less what Karl Rowe thinks of Donald
Trump he has failed us in every election since Bush and not Donald Trump. Rubio
and Cruz can be bought if not the establishment would not be willing to get
behind them. The establishment know they cannot buy or control Donald Trump.
President Trump will take to the media and twitter if the Republican and
Democrat establishment do not deliver and they know it.
If the
Republican Party is to remain vital, then it is, in the truest sense, vital
that we understand change is necessary and the establishment does not want
change because they will lose control of the party.
The
Republican Party must adapt to the needs of the people if it is to
survive. The Republican establishment
must begin to listen to the people instead of giving us lip service. Anyone
with a brain knows that things cannot continue as they are if America is going
to have a chance to once again become the country it once was.
The
establishment has done everything they can for years to prevent change and the
Republican Party has slowly been taking it last breathes. A man like Donald
Trump comes along and Primary turnout is greater than it has ever been before.
He has given the party a chance for a new life.
The young
people have left the Republican Party because it has become boring, unchanging,
and irrelevant and does nothing to make their personal lives better. The
Republican Party establishment is totally unconnected to the life experiences
of the average American.
We became a
party unelectable in 2008 and 2012 with establishment candidates and will do
the same in 2016 if we do not take back our party.
Donald Trump
brings hope to the American people while the establishment continue to
backbite, point fingers and fall out blaming each other for the party’s
failures. The ones at the top of our party have lost sight of the outside world
(outside Washington) they figure if it is good for those running Washington it
is good for all of us. Was it not Cruz on the floor of the Senate calling Mitch
McConnell a liar – and Cruz speaks of RESPECT! It is the party establishment
losing us elections not the party faithful. The institution is costing us
elections. Cruz is a hypocrite, liar and snake!
In any
organization if you are to keep the main thing the main thing it is inedible
that at some point you have to initiate change. The people are no longer the
main thing for the established party leaders Democrat or Republican. Let us
gamble on Donald Trump and kick the establishment out and maybe at least have a
chance he will deliver what we have been promised for decades and never gotten.
It is time
Karl Rowe takes his little white chalk board and goes home. I am sick of his
acting like a political pundit that knows what is best for America. You and
your buddy Chaney gave us Iraq, McCain and Mitt Romney and they all cost us
elections.
