I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the state of affairs in this country and around the world and I’ve come to a conclusion:  It is time to become proactive rather than reactive.

I have been posting at this site for over a year now, dispensing my take on things from my little corner of the world.  In so doing, I have accumulated well over 400 postings to effectively do two things: establish a personal journal of sorts and cause a domain to mature.  Other than that, all I have accomplished is to “spread the word” about the current administration’s desire to “spread the wealth”.  To that end, I don’t think I have contributed to the well-being of the greater good.

I started this blog after retiring to keep abreast of current events in the hopes of trumpeting a clarion call to beware.  However, in the process I have not done anything of real value except to feed the fear that it is going to get really bad for this country in the years to come (which, by the way is true; but I digress…).

I have been writing articles for my wife to post on her web sites and I have also written an eBook about finances titled “Eliminating Debt Forever” that I plan on promoting here, as well as at other sites.  As our government continues to advocate “spending our way out of debt” the latest information reveals that it ain’t gonna get any better before it gets a whole lot worse.  Therefore, I am going to start changing my approach at Fullcirclethinker to begin helping others get out of debt as the government goes further into debt.

I will continue to post Uncle Jay Explains The News on Mondays.  I think his angle on the week’s news in review is refreshing and a bit satirical; just what is needed to keep us informed without injecting too much personal opinion into the mix.  I will also endeavor to keep Funny Fridays as well (something I actually just started) to give us something to laugh about going into a much-needed weekend.

In addition, I will begin posting articles in three main categories that I believe dovetail nicely with each other: finances, health and parenting.

It is my opinion that whichever direction a nation goes begins first in the home.  It is also my opinion that, being a product of the sixties myself (and being 60!), my generation is fully in power and continues to cast off what worked for this country for over 200 years in favor of multiculturalism, diversity and inclusion, and a general elimination of the Judeo Christian principles that guided our founding fathers so well for so long.

As a result, we are in for some hard times because we don’t believe what history has proven to be true: that every time a nation casts off its moral and spiritual underpinnings and rises up to play, it is officially in decline.  That and the fact that the style of government we currently have, beginning with the Carter years, has given rise to this mentality.  We have effectively forgotten how we got here and don’t want to hear the truth anymore.

It is just too hateful, you see.

All of that to say:

For me, it is time to take care of my family and continue to raise them up in the Biblical / Constitutional manner that will empower them to survive the coming storm.  I also want to share this next phase of my journey with anyone interested in coming along.

I am not a survivalist in the purist sense of the word.  However, I am a survivor, and am willing to bet I will survive the coming storm intact, better-positioned to also help others.

So, here I go.  Come along as I change not only the theme of this site but the direction as well.  Let’s get ready for the coming storm together, regardless of what the government tries to say to the contrary.  I believe God has given us a “window of opportunity” to prepare; most likely a two to five year window at best.

We can win the war, even if we lose a few battles along the way.

So, what do you say?  Want to be the head and not the tail?  Ready to make debt your slave and not your master?  To prepare your body for health care so-called by being in the best physical shape of your life?  To have your children rise up and call you blessed?

This and so much more awaits those who will hear what the Spirit is saying…..

As my friend Allen Scott at eagleviews.org has as his statement of faith found in Isaiah 40:31:

“But those who wait on the LORD
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.”
