Bill Clinton’s efforts to persuade the hole to change jobs are unsuccessful. Talks break down when the hole refuses to relocate to Glenn Beck’s home in Connecticut.

Bill Clinton is dispatched to plug the hole. Details are sketchy. We’re told to use our imagination.

Certainly no one wants to see one drop of oil spilled or wasted, especially in a fragile environment. You would think this is the biggest calamity to ever occur. I’m not trying to trivialize what has happened, but when compared to other oil accidents the BP spill is actually pretty small.

Either Jo has no education at all, or this is a complete failure of our education system.

I read a wonderful devotion yesterday. It referenced the Great Wall of China. When the people of ancient China were being invaded by barbarians they built the Great Wall to keep the intruders out. The wall being advanced for the time, and even still admired today for it’s amazing length, height and thickness built with ancient methods couldn’t be penetrated. But still in the first 100 years of the wall’s existence China was invaded three times.

How was that possible?

Unfortunately due to human weakness. See, all three times the enemy simply bribed someone at the wall to open a gate allowing the hordes to enter.

We can take a good lesson from this in our personal lives, as well as a nation. On a personal level we need to be prepared for Christ’s return, for he surely won’t ask to enter, and no wall will stop Him. We can also apply it in our daily lives to look out for ourselves and our families – as a reminder that we do live in a fallen world. I’m not suggesting to not trust people, but rather…don’t let your guard down.

As a country we can learn from this too, especially in light of the border dispute going on in Arizona recently. All the laws and walls in the world can help solve a crisis, but they can only do so much if the people living under them are not educated and moral individuals.

Remember to honor those and pray for the families of those who have fallen to protect all those in our borders this Memorial Day.
