This is what the “housing is a human right” and “people over profit” crowd thinks they want. She’s completely lost in the socialist fantasy, so a DeLorean drops her off in 2050 to see how it worked out. Free housing, but everyone lives in the same ugly gray box with no choices. Coffee is available only if you brought your government-approved reusable mug. Black only. The government grocery store has empty shelves and $40 eggs. No police. The trains are free, but they never run because the workers are on strike again. Healthcare is free too. Your appointment is in 72 days. By the end, she’s begging to go back. Socialism always sounds wonderful when someone is promising you free things. It looks a little different once you’re actually forced to live in it. Credit: Independent Women’s Voice

The Biblical Man

And now... the rest of the story. Every year, families across America gather around the television. They watch a bald kid try to kick a football. A beagle dance on a dog house. Charlie Brown get a rock instead of candy. They laugh. They don't know they're watching a man's autobiography. When Charles Schulz was a boy, the other children called him Sparky. The name of a horse in a comic strip. A joke horse. He failed every single subject in eighth grade. Not one or two. Every. Single. Subject. But the grades weren't the worst part. Paul Harvey told this story, and his voice cracked on this line: "Sparky wasn't actually disliked by the other youngsters. No one cared enough about him to dislike him." He wasn't hated. He was nothing. The one thing he had was his drawings. He submitted cartoons to the school yearbook. Rejected. He wrote to Walt Disney. Poured everything into the drawings. The reply was a form letter. Disney only hired the very finest artists. Sparky was not among the very finest. Harvey paused there. Then: "I think deep down, Sparky expected to be rejected." This is where the motivational speakers lie to you. The rest of the story isn't about winning. Sparky didn't try to prove them wrong. He wrote his autobiography in cartoons. He drew himself. The loser. The kid who failed everything. He named him after himself. Charlie Brown. You know what Charlie Brown never does? Win. His kite crashes. Lucy pulls the football. The Little Red-Haired Girl doesn't notice him. And sixty years later, we still watch. Not because Charlie Brown succeeds. Because Charlie Brown keeps showing up. Here's the part even Paul Harvey didn't tell. Schulz taught Sunday school. He read the Bible so constantly his strips are filled with scripture. When network executives tried to cut Linus reciting Luke 2 from the Christmas special, Schulz refused. Either the Gospel stays, or there's no special. It stayed. A boy called a horse. A student who failed everything. An artist Disney rejected. Planted the Gospel of Luke in front of sixty million homes. The loser became the messenger. God has a history of using the rejected ones. Moses had a stutter. David was the forgotten son. Peter denied Him three times. The kite never flew. But the Gospel did. Still falling? Good company, brother. Get up. He's not done with you yet.

Biblicalman's tweet photo. And now... the rest of the story.

Every year, families across America gather around the television.

They watch a bald kid try to kick a football. A beagle dance on a dog house. Charlie Brown get a rock instead of candy.

They laugh.

They don't know they're watching a man's autobiography.

When Charles Schulz was a boy, the other children called him Sparky. The name of a horse in a comic strip. A joke horse.

He failed every single subject in eighth grade.

Not one or two.

Every. Single. Subject.

But the grades weren't the worst part.

Paul Harvey told this story, and his voice cracked on this line:

"Sparky wasn't actually disliked by the other youngsters. No one cared enough about him to dislike him."

He wasn't hated. He was nothing.

The one thing he had was his drawings. He submitted cartoons to the school yearbook.

Rejected.

He wrote to Walt Disney. Poured everything into the drawings.

The reply was a form letter. Disney only hired the very finest artists. Sparky was not among the very finest.

Harvey paused there. Then: "I think deep down, Sparky expected to be rejected."

This is where the motivational speakers lie to you.

The rest of the story isn't about winning.

Sparky didn't try to prove them wrong. He wrote his autobiography in cartoons.

He drew himself. The loser. The kid who failed everything.

He named him after himself.

Charlie Brown.

You know what Charlie Brown never does?

Win.

His kite crashes. Lucy pulls the football. The Little Red-Haired Girl doesn't notice him.

And sixty years later, we still watch.

Not because Charlie Brown succeeds.

Because Charlie Brown keeps showing up.

Here's the part even Paul Harvey didn't tell.

Schulz taught Sunday school. He read the Bible so constantly his strips are filled with scripture.

When network executives tried to cut Linus reciting Luke 2 from the Christmas special, Schulz refused.

Either the Gospel stays, or there's no special.

It stayed.

A boy called a horse.

A student who failed everything.

An artist Disney rejected.

Planted the Gospel of Luke in front of sixty million homes.

The loser became the messenger.

God has a history of using the rejected ones.

Moses had a stutter. David was the forgotten son. Peter denied Him three times.

The kite never flew.

But the Gospel did.

Still falling?

Good company, brother.

Get up.

He's not done with you yet.

In September of 2005, on the first day of school, Martha Cothren, a History teacher at RobinsonHigh School in Little Rock, did something not to be forgotten. On the first day of school, with the permission of the school superintendent, the principal and the building supervisor, she removed all of the desks in her classroom. When the first period kids entered the room they discovered that there were no desks. 'Ms. Cothren, where are our desks?' She replied, 'You can't have a desk until you tell me how you earn the right to sit at a desk.' They thought, 'Well, maybe it's our grades.' 'No,' she said. 'Maybe it's our behavior.' She told them, 'No, it's not even your behavior.' And so, they came and went, the first period, second period, third period. Still no desks in the classroom. Kids called their parents to tell them what was happening and by early afternoon television news crews had started gathering at the school to report about this crazy teacher who had taken all the desks out of her room. The final period of the day came and as the puzzled students found seats on the floor of the desk-less classroom. Martha Cothren said, 'Throughout the day no one has been able to tell me just what he or she has done to earn the right to sit at the desks that are ordinarily found in this classroom. Now I am going to tell you.' At this point, Martha Cothren went over to the door of her classroom and opened it. Twenty-seven (27) U.S. Veterans, all in uniform, walked into that classroom, each one carrying a school desk. The Vets began placing the school desks in rows, and then they would walk over and stand alongside the wall. By the time the last soldier had set the final desk in place those kids started to understand, perhaps for the first time in their lives, just how the right to sit at those desks had been earned. Martha said, 'You didn't earn the right to sit at these desks. These heroes did it for you. They placed the desks here for you. They went halfway around the world, giving up their education and interrupting their careers and families so you could have the freedom you have. Now, it's up to you to sit in them. It is your responsibility to learn, to be good students, to be good citizens. They paid the price so that you could have the freedom to get an education. Don't ever forget it.' By the way, this is a true story. And this teacher was awarded the Veterans of Foreign Wars Teacher of the Year for the State of Arkansas in 2006. She is the daughter of a WWII POW. Do you think this email is worth passing along so others won't forget either, that the freedoms we have in this great country were earned by our U.S. Veterans?... I did. Let us always remember the men and women of our military and the rights they have won for us.
