Socialism Experiment

This is just a short story, very simple, showing how socialism works. Not affectively, I might add. This we should all be able to understand.

Experiment in Socialism

An economics professor at Texas Tech said he had never failed a single student before but had, once, failed an entire class. The class had insisted that socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer. The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on socialism."

All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A. After the first test the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy. But, as the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided that since they could not make an A, they studied less. The second Test average was a D! No one was happy. When the 3rd test rolled around the average was an F.

The scores never increased as bickering, blame, name calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for anyone else. All failed to their great surprise and the professor told them that socialism would ultimately fail because the harder people try to succeed the greater their reward but when a government takes all the reward away; no one will try or succeed.

Prayer Request

Hello all,

For some of you reading this, you may already know that for some time now I've been have really bad headaches on a daily basis. Upon seeing a regular doctor and now a neurologist, their medications have failed. On Monday, I was sent for an MRI at Decatur General. The results were in yesterday and for the most part they came back fine. They did, however, find a spot on the right side of the brain. I am still waiting on a call back from the neurologist to find out more details.I'm sure that the Lord has his hands on this situation, but if you dont mind, pray for me to continue to have faith and peace. Pray for my health, that I may continue to be a mother to my beautiful daughters. God is a wonderful God and he can and still does miracles. Thank you for the prayers and support!

Love,

Bonita

Life around the house with my family!

Life is great! I have everything I could have ever wished for. Well, other than my Blue Dodge Charger and a few billion, but hey those are just minor details. LOL!

Here are some pictures from around my house..Hope you enjoy!

Love And Valentines Day!

Ok, so first I want to say that I think that Valentine's day is completely and utterly ridiculious! I really have no idea as to why its even a holiday other than people try to make money off this stupid holiday. But nonetheless it was celebrated at my house this year. By celebrated, I mean much more than just buying something small for the kids. Jonathan felt as though we should follow the leader of nonsense of pink, white and red!! So we did. *Can I just say that the Valentine's Day we celebrate has nothing to do with the original holiday. But again nothing else we do in American follows the original intent either* I will say that I did however manage to give a "Just Because I Love You Gift" and not the VDAY gift because I gave Jonathan his on Thursday! Yes, I am a rebel and proud of it. Again, I hate the holiday. Think its stupid!!!

As you can see I made "Pretty" a gift basket full of stuff. Lots of choclates and stuff. On Friday, he sent me a beautiful bouquet of flowers to work. They are now slowly dieing.. Waste of money, but its what I wanted and he did a fabulious job. Thanks baby! Your the best! And finally, Saturday we took the girls to Tenn to see Sophie and Ethan (Jonathan's Niece and Newphew). Before that the girls and I took balloons to celebrate V-day with Brandon (Jonathan's deceased son) at his grave. Saturday night we dicided to shop and not eat because we werent hungry but then decided to eat at Logan's. All in all we had a wonderful Valentines day full of love!! We hope you had a good one as well. Sorry for my venting but I just think its stupid but you have to do what the husband( no not married yet. That's his nickname) wants to do, right? LOL!
