How Will You Celebrate United Nations Day?

Don't tell me that you forgot.  It's tomorrow!

United Nations Day - October 24th

What is United Nations Day?

Simply put, it is the birthday of the United Nations. ...Traditionally, it has been marked throughout the world by meetings, discussions and exhibits on the goals and achievements of the Organization.

What can you do to celebrate UN Day?

The observance of UN Day serves as a reminder that the world is our common home and through dialogue and cooperation among all, our problems could be solved. There are many ways you can celebrate the day.  ....

Personally, I'm going to pass multiple resolutions accomplishing absolutely nothing.

To reflect the spirit of the United Nations, liberals will say something bad about the United States, which they do anyway.

How will you celebrate?!  Take your family on a picnic?  Watch the fireworks?  Go to a bad part of town, watch gangs mug people, and stand around doing nothing?  Or, how about form a club, get members to join and pay dues, and then take turns spitting on your best member?

He Came for Us All

Christmas means a lot of things to many people, but the main reason that we celebrate it is for the birth of Christ, who came to save all of us.  It's easy to take that for granted when your world is going well, but think how much more it can mean to those who have committed crimes and seek redemption.  The video below shows what this season of worship means to prisoners, such as these in Sugarland Prison in Texas.  

“Handel’s Messiah - For unto Us a Child is born”

That song is one of my favorites for Christmas.  I enjoy the presentations of that masterpiece from our church choir and other trained artists.  There are many fine versions of this that you can buy and find.  But, it is something special to hear that song of praise come from the hearts of others who really feel it rather than simply perform it.  

Christ did come for us all.  

For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given, and the government shall be upon His shoulder; and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6)

Not Unless WE Say So - And Happy Labor Day

Who's running our country? (I said running--not ruining, although that might be a good follow-up question to illegal immigration.)

Mexican President Blasts U.S. Immigration Policies

MEXICO CITY — President Felipe Calderon blasted U.S. immigration policies on Sunday and promised to fight harder to protect the rights of Mexicans in the U.S., saying "Mexico does not end at its borders." ...He also reached out to the millions of Mexicans living in the United States, many illegally, saying: "Where there is a Mexican, there is Mexico." ...He said Sunday that Mexico has created 618,000 new jobs since January....

Nice speech for the masses, but the U.S. has something to say about this, and we get the last and only word.

Here's my five-point response.

Point one - The U.S., not Mexico, dictates immigration laws into our country--or, so I've been told. I'm just waiting to see our federal government actually enforce those laws.

Point two - The number one right of illegal Mexicans in our country is the right to go back home. Use it.

Point three - You don't get to count 618,000 new Mexican jobs unless they are in your own country.

Point four - Why don't you end Mexican government corruption and get your economy and unemployment in line rather than use us as your safety valve?

Point five - Mexico ends at our border. If you think not, come over here and try collecting taxes from Texans. You think that Santa Anna had it bad at the battle of San Jacinto.

Have a happy Labor Day to those whose jobs weren't taken by illegal Mexicans or whose wages weren't depressed by their flooding the labor market. On second thought, those who have been affected should be honored and have an especially happy Labor Day, since it might be one of the few times of the year that they can have some fun.
