It’s time to make America work for everyone, not just those with money and power. Right now, the special interests run the show in Washington. That’s got to change, and we can change it.

You may agree with me. You may disagree with me.

But one thing’s for sure: I will be your Senator, not theirs.

Stewardship and Taxes

Submitted by Chad on Wed, 12/23/2009 - 12:05pm
I was talking to a self proclaimed Tea Partier “American Patriot” the other day. Let’s call him Ron (I changed his name for his protection, not mine). Of course, the subject of taxes came up.

Yesterday Cassie completed her first half marathon at Kiawah.

Let’s talk about stewardship. Simply put, stewardship is taking care of someone else’s money or property properly. Stewardship traces its roots to Biblical teachings and should inform and direct anyone in a position of leadership.

The concept of stewardship informs my view of the world and we need a lot more of it these days. It’s more than just talk. It’s about how we act everyday.

I had the pleasure this weekend of going bird hunting with some good friends in Society Hill. The weather was great and we bagged quite a few quail, pheasants and chukar. These birds are currently brining to be cooked up this week.
