Passions not profits

August 26th, 2008
Please pray for me. I have had a rough couple of days recently.

This weekend I took my wife to the Waupaca County Fair. I have been out of showing since 2006. So this is my second time going back to a fair that I really do not belong at. I walked into the poultry barn… a place that I loved. I thought I went to see friends. For the most part I did, until I saw Gary again. I get accused of selling a crappy bird to a girl. I did not. She had asked me for help with showing. I had told her that she wouldn’t do very well with a crossbred bird. She still took it to the fair anyway. After the duck was judged she told me that she wished I had told her to take one of her pure bred birds. I didn’t know that she had purebred birds. I thought that telling her that a crossbred birds wouldnt do well was insinuating that she should take a purebred bird if she had one.

While I was on my cell phone taking a call, Gary told my wife that I didn’t know anything. I realize that I dont know much. I realize that I have a lot to learn. But I also realize that I do know quite a bit about poultry. I know enough to be able to teach kids alot about birds.

He said that all I care about was money. He said that all I see when I look at a chicken is money.

I am so passionate about poultry that I want it to be my career. I want to be able to spend every day all day working with poultry. I want to be able to help other people with their poultry passions.

I started Purely Poultry because I know that I can serve my customers well. I can combine a great offering of breeds at great prices. I see the opportunity to help people with their passions. I look forward to serving you in any way that I can!

Please pray that I be able to overcome this criticism stronger for tomorrow.

Economics of American Government

August 10th, 2008

Gross incompetence. Budgets need to be balanced. I have been for a few years looking for a fiscally responsible political party. From my study of American history I have not seen one since before the Depression. Ironic isn’t it. I studied the Libertarian party recently. They are for strong fiscal policy, but unfortunatley their social platform is weak.

One friend has recently suggested Vote for Homer Simpson with Peter Griffin of Family Guy as his running mate. I encouraged that we get him on the ballots.

I look to see unemployment, social security, and medicare to all be phased out instead of continuing to take people’s money for false future promises. We need to deal with the problems today and not pass them on to the future generations.
