Count Your Blessings
Unknown Author

I’ve never made a fortune,

and it’s probably too late now.

But I don’t worry about that much,

I’m happy anyhow.



And as I go along life’s way,

I’m reaping better than I sowed.

I’m drinking from my saucer,

‘Cause my cup has overflowed.



Haven’t got a lot of riches,

and sometimes the going’s tough.

But I’ve got loving ones all around me,

and that makes me rich enough.



I thank God for his blessings,

and the mercies He’s bestowed.

I’m drinking from my saucer,

‘Cause my cup has overflowed.



I remember times when things went wrong,

My faith wore somewhat thin.

But all at once the dark clouds broke,

and the sun peeped through again.



So Lord, help me not to gripe,

about the tough rows I have hoed.

I’m drinking from my saucer,

‘Cause my cup has overflowed.

 

If God gives me strength and courage,

When the way grows steep and rough.

I’ll not ask for other blessings,

I’m already blessed enough.



And may I never be too busy,

to help others bear their loads.

Then I’ll keep drinking from my saucer,

‘Cause my cup has overflowed.



When I think of how many people

in this world have it worse than I do.

I realize just how blessed most of us really are.

Cause we’re drinking from our saucer,

‘Cause our cup has overflowed.

What are our schools teaching?  Things like this may encourage parents to Home School.

School district officials in Albany say they’re mulling disciplinary action for a high school English teacher whose writing assignment asked students to make a persuasive argument blaming Jews for the problems of Nazi Germany.

The assignment, first reported Friday by the Albany Times Union, asked students to research Nazi propaganda, then assume their teacher was a Nazi government official who had to be convinced of their loyalty. The assignment told students they “must argue that Jews are evil.”

I didn’t know I was ‘stupid’ and a ‘racist’

A University of Southern California professor attacked Republicans as old, white, racist losers in his lectures, a shocking video has shown.

The rants by Professor Darry Sragow were secretly captured over the course of several weeks by 20-year-old student Tyler Talgo, who used a camera disguised as a shirt button.

Story continues below video.

“They’re really stupid and racist,” Sragow said during one lecture. “The Republican Party is increasingly the last refuge of old, angry white people who don’t like what’s going on in this country,” he told his students.

“Old white guys are stubborn sons of bitches,” he added.

I may be old and stubborn BUT, I’M NOT A SON OF A BITCH.

At one point, Sragow also appears to endorse the illegal suppression of Republican votes.

“You lose their information on the election in the mail,” he suggested when a student asked how to discourage Republicans from voting. “I mean, there [are] lots of ways to do it.”

A teaching assistant in the class suggested  putting Black Panthers at polling stations to intimidate Republican voters. The comment was supported by Sragow.

When questioned by Fox News, Sragow told the network he stood by all his comments. “I have said them many times to many audiences, and if the student had told me he was taping my comments I still would have said them,” he said.

Talgo told Fox News he taped the classes to show that university campuses are hostile places for nonliberals.

“There are definitely some classes where professors give no regard to the other side, and it’s a class that slanders people who disagree with them,” he said to Fox. “The professors are oftentimes so intimidating you can’t bring up your own point of view. And even if you do, you risk your grade being retaliated against.”

Talgo said he hopes other students will take a stand and help expose other liberal professors.

“My major concern is that these professors are indoctrinating students,” he said.
