I am grateful for all the family farmers and cooperatives that bring us fresh organic fruits and vegetables. The vibrancy of life can be felt, smelled, seen and tasted at a farmers’ market. Healthy food sustenance builds community and community brings true joy. What could be closer to the Garden of Eden?

I am grateful I’m not Gerald. Great teachers teach by example. Thanks for the lesson, Gerald. Now I realize how annoying I can be to my wife. I will try to think about you the next time I want to be overly critical.

I’m grateful for my leg being back to 75%. I can go back to work December 5th. I’m grateful too for my offspring who teach me continually that all is struggle and that living is within the struggle itself.

I’m grateful for the love of my family and the support of my friends. I’m grateful that my parents taught me to value education and life long learning. I’m grateful that I have moved from being unemployed (since last August 2009) to being underemployed with a part time job. I’m grateful to be living in New York, where I still have other options to explore on my path to becoming fully employed again.

Here are some other thoughts that make me grateful as a Nazi American. Obama on December 1, 2009 will announce the addition of 35,000 to 45,000 soldiers to Afghanistan and $40 to 50 billion more each year for the rest of our lives. Obama is sending additional troops so we can control the oil and natural gas resources in Central Asia. Obama has ordered more killing of God’s children.

Yes, as Nazi Americans we must be not only grateful but glorified in our killing of God’s children. This is the Nazi American way as to how Nazi America resolves differences. Here are the nine glorious words in Nazi America – war, war, war, kill, kill, kill, maim, maim, maim.

Dave, well said!

A Country Named Job

I am writing this letter for people who may have read the Bible. In the Bible there is in the Old Testament, the Book of Job. Job lived about 500 or 600 years before the birth of Jesus Christ. It was also around the time that God was not pleased with His people. God has given everything to the people and they were not listening to Him. They were not willing to help one another and their lives were very sinful. God was going to destroy the earth.

For some reason God was going to give the world another chance. He was going to test the world with one person and that person was Job. Job was a man of prayer and he would also praise God. God blessed Job with wealth, land, property, and family. God slowly started to take away what He had given to Job. Job still prayed and praised God. A neighbor came by one day and he talked to Job. He said to Job that God was punishing Job and Job still prayed and praised God. How could Job continue to love God? Job said to his neighbor that it was God’s will and God knows best.

God was so moved by Job’s words and loyalty that He spared the earth from destruction. Job’s behavior silenced God. God would speak only one more time. God spoke at Jesus’ baptism in the Jordan River. “This is my son in whom I am well pleased.”

From Jesus’ death to the present we keep hearing that God works in mysterious ways. With God there are no surprises. No, God does not work in mysterious ways. He has given us His son and the words of Jesus. Our problem is that we refuse to listen to God’s son and His words. God has been testing the world through the United States of America. God has not chosen a person; He has chosen a country. The United States of America is now the Job of the New Testament.

Job, the country, has failed every test. Job, the country, holds steadfastly to hatred and lies. She has also embraced murders and war crimes. She has also turned her back on God and God’s son, Jesus. Christianity is no longer Job’s religion. Bushianity has taken over as Job’s religion. Job and the country’s beauty believe that they are better than God. Like Lucifer, the most beautiful of God’s angels, Job believes that God is not needed and the axis of evil is better than God. Job’s axis of evil clings to money, nuclear weapons, and Bush’s words.
