I am back

Hola Everyone:

I spent a week in Guatemala with 6 other people on a mission trip from our church. One of the most interesting things we did was that we were on our way to a village out about 2 and half hours from Guatemala City and we got stuck on the highway for 6 hours in a national bus drivers strike. They parked buses across all the crossovers so you could not turn around. Got kinda hot by 2 pm when they decided to end negotiations and open the road. Otherwise we saw a lot of kids and families and did some of God's good works thru a sunday school program and adult bible study. 

Sure is hard to come back to -12 here in Wisconsin when it was about 55-60 at night and 75-80 days!!

I have a hard time with groups helping other countries when we have so many people in the USA that need help.

Then are country sends millions of tax payers money. to help ., and cutting benifits for people in are own country

Then tell us we have a deficet

 

Glad you had a nice trip, and welcome back

Bill glad your back and had a safe mission trip. God calls each of us to service in his name and he will bless those that serve him. If it wasn't for churches doing the Lords work then Gods word and His love might never reach parts of the world. Churches help people in our own country where our government can't or won't because they are afraid of being politically incorrect. My wife and i have had to visit food pantry's in the past to get by during the winter and they were ALL RUN BY CHURCHES. I'm right there with you as far as our government's actions or inaction's but churches that work for God are a blessing to a lost and troubled world.

 

And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. 1 Corinthians 13:13

It's the same here in the UK, except that here the UK borrows the money to give it away in foreign aid (usually to countries that are now financially better off than us now), before cutting the benefits for the sick and disabled who need it most.

Also not forgetting the pensioners in homes are worst off than a prisoner in jail who gets three meals a day, television, a degree training, drugs, medical help all free.

 

Lets put all our people in the homes in prison where they would be look after twenty four seven and see how the prisoners suffer in the homes.

 

As for the government don't start me on them millions sent to other countries and they can't even help stop water going through a door. I'm almost ashamed to be British.

 

OOPS JUST FELL OF ME SOAP BOX.
