Sorry, but I have to agree with Tom! I read
the post and was like, "is that her
responding to herself?" I started to read
and saw a (self) response and I have to
admit that I scrolled back up to double
check that I had not missed anything, but
it was you!

You are very analytical. At the moment I
have 64 new messages to read (my
daughter has been sick) yet I took time to
read your 2 responses because you have
a lot of insight and a lot to say.

I think that your analysis of PHD
coworkers is a hopeful one. I agree that
there may be a great change in our
society once we begin to mingle more in
more areas of life. The work environment
is an important one because that is what
allowed many unions to organize back in
the day because of the constant contact
between the workers. With better
educated peoples on the job site more
book knowledge is brought into work
environments that have never been
exposed to that kind of employee. Good
things can happen there.

I have to disagree with your comment on
money to the church Shaunasi. The tithe
(or 10%) of gross income that is given to
the Lord is a command of His, and I
would not recommend people play with
that. As a steward of anything He gives
me, He could ask for 50% and that is
what I should give. He owns it and lets
me use the 90%. I know our God is
Jehovah Jirah, my provider, and that He
will bless my seed as I give my tithe and
offering. Many people do not tithe, and I
think that is part of the problem, but I won't
begin to get into the spiritual health of our
nation because then we'd have to call out
the paramedics. As a Christian it is very
interesting taking classes because I see
things different... and I know that
solutions are different than what the world
sees. It is good to know both sides
though because then I can see where
Satan has been working through many
statistics and studies.
