to do list

so after the election, I came up with a short to do list. Of course, this is all for worst-case scenario for the next 4 years.

1. Memorize the Constitution.
Gotta know what it says before it's changed in light of a Pres who favors a (very) liberal interpretation of it.
2. Buy a gun.
Want to exercise my 2nd Amendment rights in light of a Pres who opposes them.
3. Save all the money I can.
This is hard seeing as I barely make enough money to make it every month. And the holidays are coming up...but in light of a Pres who's economics include the words "redistribution of wealth" and higher taxes if we weren't in a bad economic time, I want to make sure I have as much cash liquidity as possible. Not spending money on anything I don't need.

And as a side note...is anyone else getting the feeling that "change" has already become irrelevant for Obama? Picking Rahm Emanuel, a product of the Chicago political machine who also worked in the Clinton administration...that's definitely looking back towards the old way of doing things. Not to mention what a partisan choice it is...oh and he was on the board of Freddie Mac. The only good thing I've heard about him is that he would take a more moderate position when it comes to the economic crisis. I've been reading other names being circulated for his cabinet, and I can't say that I'm overly thrilled.

Stay optimistic, stay optimistic.

i'm rich

So I have been reading 40 Day Spiritual Journey to a More Generous Life. Our whole church is reading it together as we embark on a pretty huge capital campaign for expansion. The book is pretty cool, every day is a bunch of different verses about giving. 40 days, each with 5 or so different passages - who knew there were so many unique verses about giving? It's also cool because it's really been stretching my faith in the area of giving...remember back when I was reading Celebration of Discipline?

But that's not what I want to talk about...
The cool and convicting thing I read about today is this website - the Global Rich List. I have felt reeeeally strapped for money lately (which is another story in itself). But then I put my income into this website, and yeah. I am really, really rich. I'm in the top 3.75% in the world. The world. Just something to think about! Try it out.
