To all those in the Samoan Communities- both here in New Zealand, and in the Devastated Country itself, I offer my most sincere sympathy to all those that have been affected by the earthquakes and tsunami.
I pray that you will be able to get through this and that the loss of life will not be excessive (a relative term as I think even one life lost is excessive). I know a number of people from the community, and my heart goes out to you all.
Be Strong, and rescue all that you can.

KiwiSaver Savings
Up until recently, I have been of the opinion that KiwiSaver was not for me. Not because I didn't think it necessary to save for my retirement- I think this is very important! But more the fact that I didn't want the government having anything to do with the investing of my money!
I thought that Mr. Cullen had devised a way to get his greedy little hands on my money to use at his whim (money other than the tax he was so willingly grabbing every week). I didn't like the idea that a government could risk my money, in a way that I was not willing to allow.
I have been enlightened.
I seems that, other than making sure the programme goes ahead, the government is taking a back seat. It does not invest the money, nor does it store up and use it. Quite simply, after it has come out of my wages, the government doesn't see it again! On the contrary, it is private firms, the one I choose to be precises, who direct the investing of those hard-earned dollars!
Anyway. All that to say this. If you are in KiwiSaver, or are not in but want to join, please consider FidelityLife to be your fund provider. A New Zealand owned company, FidelityLife offers a few little extras to make your KiwiSaver just that little bit better. But enough said on here- if you are even a little bit interested, please email me at jayceedistributors@gmail.com.

Peaceful Destruction
I am somwhat amused by the naive expectation of President Obama that there will ever be lasting peace in the Middle East, particularly between Israel and Palestine. I am even more amused that he thinks he will be the one to bring about this peace. I wonder if he has looked into the history of this part of the world, and if so, did he just overlook the fact that they have effectively been at war (in one way or another) for thousands of years?
These two groups of people- Israeli's and Palestinians- have a bloodline stemming from the very same person. Two nationalities, one Patriarch. Both of these peoples feel they have the exclusive right to the Fertile Crescent. Both of them believe the other should be destroyed. Both of them will not give up. What President Obama fails to see, is that, this feud is far greater than Gaza. It is more far-reaching than one presidency, than one man, than even the world!
Many US Presidents have tried to bring about peace in the Middle East (some of them far better men, both politically and spiritually, than Mr. Obama), but all have failed. This in not going to change, not without divine intervention- and this is coming. Maybe, instead of trying to fix the world, the Obama Administration should focus on trying to fix America.
Mr. Obama's speech to the UN General Assembly was very insistent on this peace thing. I fail to see how this peace is going to become either a reality, or a good thing. I don't like war, but somehow I think that war helps to keep our world balanced. If we achieved a truly world wide peace, I believe the only logical next step would be world wide destruction.
Mr. Obama, please work on fixing your own country before trying to fix the rest of the world.
