I Have An Idea and I'M Writing It Down

Pastor Warren’s church in Orange County, Unity of Tustin too There’s hardly anyone not affected; it’s sad but it’s true Bottom lines are red, tithes & love offerings are lower More people out of work, homes in foreclosure Spending is dropping, business is slower. Statistics say on average 34.5% of every dollar earned pays for interest on debt. Is that true? What if it’s more? What if it’s less? Whatever the difference, that’s surely a lot When you think what it costs you to have what you got. What if that interest could be diverted, transformed to fund your kids’ education, your retirement community resources & relief for those out of work or losing their homes It can be done with technology available now Put to use in a way not thought of before I have an idea and I’m writing it down We’ll create an annex to churches much like is already done with bookstores & day care & special events It would house a credit union providing micro loans teach entrepreneurship, financial solutions, education & more We’ll have an internet café with alive water & foods A venue for learning & networking & exploring strategies anew We’ll find new ways to earn, to live, to spend & to save In this place where we’ll gather to nurture, to nourish, to share & to have Robert Kiyosaki of Rich Dad, Poor Dad lore Said that the rich learn to network, the rest of us learn to look for a job And when the jobs disappear As they have this past year Do we just throw up our hands & cry What’s there to do? Oh me, oh my! The Dalai Lama in September said The world will be saved by the western woman Which woman? you ask. Could it be me? Is he referring to you? I’m the center of my universe; you’re the center of yours Can I save my world? Will you claim the power to save yours? Community Wellspring Water, Wellness, Wisdom and Wealth An annex to churches A model for living in today’s chaotic world A solution whose time has come Funded by interest currently paid to the bank I’ll show you how, you’ll have UFirst to thank It isn’t alchemy or magic; it’s just purely math When you see how it works, you’ll probably laugh And when we organize and network, we’ll create new revenue For the churches, the community, for me and for you By coming together, our world’s losses will end We’ll be a force to contend with, our limitations transcend Be a part of the solution at From Debt To Equity dot com It’s 2010 We are in charge of our destiny Let’s make this a Breakthrough Year …and do this thing

Hope. there are so many politicians against good ideals that if they help they are viewed as taxing the people. we live a sad existence now but if California is any example of what they are driving us to. i'm too up set by their way of governering i can not comment any further. jhl
