Hitting Nails; Biting Bullets, the Bill Cosby Way

By David Darnell

As I washed dishes on Saturday, by hand, using only enough water to get them cleaned and rinsed... Knowing that this is only feasible for a single person... Automatic dishwashers are wonderful, economical and disease preventers.

So, as I stood at the kitchen sink, I was thinking about the dilemma the world is in. The specific thought was related to real estate closings being delayed because of the limitations placed on the appraisal process by various lenders and loan underwriters, i.e. banks and government entities, i.e. Bank of America, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, etc.

These are the same entities that were lending money to under-qualified buyers and making fairyland credit available. All the while the media was whipping everyone into a recession frenzy, with unbridled rhetoric about escalated housing prices in some markets...artificially inflated oil prices, drop in GDP, overpriced stock on Wall Street...all of the things that really don't interest the "Middle American".

Bill Cosby is talking about the "Cliches" that makes this country stand above the rest. We are bound and obligated by our Constitution, which is a document based on Christianity, the working mans religion, to solve these issues ourselves, you and me, together. Buy American, think American, eat, sleep and drink American. Do you understand the difficulty of this?

God's covenant to America is written in the document. Read it...several times if you wish. It is great reading. Everything Bill is espousing is mete and right. The hard part is to implement and uphold.

In the Name of Jesus we must ask for God to resolve us. Pray for each other, as you've never done before. Also pray for those who hold office, that they will ask for forgiveness and re-invent the government in the Name of Jesus, who didn't become man to be served but to serve.

Also say a special prayer for M. Phelps to someday do the 100 fly so fast we don't have to talk about it anymore.

As it turns out, the focus for me at this time seems to be the Constitution. You might think, my blog being what it is, such a topic would've already been well & thoroughly perused. Not so, 'til now.

Mention is made here 'to solve these issues ourselves'. Just yest. I realized that, reading Constitution-related literature. Of, by and for the people...

On a lighter note, speaking of washing dishes by hand! Great therapy, for me...! Love the suds!!!

Hi Christina, nice to hear you chat.
I have always been a fan of Bill Cosby. Seems he is part of the fabric. My comment was a little reactionary but that is why my kids won't talk to me and I have three ex-wives.
As I chattered, your well thought out and insightful posts kept me lined up. I'm never in the seat long enough to peruse your inspirations as they deserve to be. It is helpful to have a perspective of our heritage and forefathers' faith to study. I have a folder named "Christina". Please don't stop, they are part of the fabric, too.

Yours truly, Dave

I have a big double window by my sink, looking out on a group of yards that are open, no fences. It looks like a park. Birds and squirrels, possums and owls... two buffaloes even wandered into the neighborhood one day. Ciao

Dave - if was 16 and text messaging, you'd be reading, OMG! Buffalo??!!

And, uh, three ex's, huh? Wowzer...as per the talking cartoon head on "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiago?" Anybody? No?? ooookay...moving on...

I didn't read 'reactionary' into your post. My head is probably in a different place than perhaps some others you know. I get more serious everyday about America, about our Constitution, our government. At this point in my life, I think it's a calling.

My own folder, huh? Well, do I rock or what !!!
