My freedom will expand mightily when...

I'm less prone to be terrorized by fair discomfort and failure opr not looking good in the eyes of and in the opinions of others!

My Confidence is still shaky...

In timesa of high stress, tension and crisis, I still tenaciously cling to tjhe belief that others working on my behalf will be more successful in getting a great result that I will work for or advocating for myself!

The Season is---- and God is still God

 God measures nme by how committed and faithful I am to Him. I do not get to grade Him based on how gentle and easy my life appears to be to me at any given moment!

I stumbled to it...

I'm not typing this on my own computer, but I've actually posted 200 blog entries now in a calender month!

Sometime people give up due to pain and getting scratched up

a bit too much!

   When you win and acoomplish, Do the bumbs and bruises really matter that much. I think you notice them far MORE when you fail to achieve.

Debt - How should we deal with those not likely to be able to find a way out?

 A Good friend, one of the most principled and consistent people I've ever known, will say that the only way that the poorest among us are likely to improve their lives is by borrowing to purchase the best education possible with the best career and salary potential and then getting the utmost out of those educational opportunities.

 I think she has a good point. Yet. Others will argue the "best laid plans" arguments. The student does not do well in school , the temptations of a distant school are more than they can handle, they discover that this " sure ticket to success field " is not for them etc.

So, Then, They aren't doing well and they have a severe debt to deal with? Thus, Was it prudent to have opened this " Pandora's Box" in the FIRST Place.


So, How do you weigh in on this debate? How well do you need to know the risk and the chances of success, based on that INDIVIDUAL, before you  advocate that someone borrow money to get a higher education?

NASA is now recruiting and hiring Astronauts.

 As NASA's  Manned Space Flight Program is now moribund and as  No Florida Launches are now scheduled and as there are limited opportunities for our Astronauts to fly in the programs of others, Is there a good reason to energetically try to expand The US Pool of Astronauts?
