Birds of a Feather
I am not one to bang the guilt by association drum. I mean I have had friends in my life who take me by surprise with their actions. However, I am left to ponder the judgement of Mr. Obama and his associations. Here is a man who is supposed to be intelligent, have excellent people [...]
The Fine Art of Saying “NO”
My thoughts for today center around saying NO, it is something many struggle with when they find themselves overwhelmed or overworked. Some also struggle with the ability to say NO when it comes to bad habits or addictions. Some struggle with saying NO to our children’s every whim and desire. None of us like to [...]
Do As I Say, Not As I Do
While, as most know I am no fan of Mr. Obama he did say something on the campaign trail that I appreciated. He said on a few occasions that personal responsibility was lacking in our society. I happen to agree with this, however I also agree that you must walk what you talk or you [...]
Upon A Pedestal
How easy is it for us as humans to find a hero and hoist them upon a pedestal? I mean everyone wants someone they can look up to, we all need heroes and knights in shining armor to protect us, right? I believe that the hero worship of Mr. Obama is very dangerous, especially for [...]
Overt Disdain
There is an increasingly overt disdain for anything that is remotely Christ oriented. I used to believe it was only in Communist countries that Christianity was disdained. However, that has changed over the years here in America and it seems to be accelerating. This causes my heart to ache to say the least.
In the State [...]
Quantity Equals Quality?
Does the quantity of money ever equal more quality? This is a question that can be applied to any number of situations, but the situation I am applying it to is Education. Does government increasing the quantity of dollars per student equal a better quality education? I submit the answer is no and it is [...]
Battling Factions
The Pro-Life vs. Pro-Choice battle is getting ready to take center stage again due to the possibility of Sen. Obama signing FOCA when he takes office in January. This is an issue that I believe speaks to the heart and I wanted to contrast the two sides with two different stories.
On the Pro-Choice side this [...]
Moving Forward
Tomorrow we begin the last month of 2008, has this year flown by or what. What I wish we were beginning was a new chapter in history, one that would bring about the complete destruction of terrorism. Most everyone is aware of the horrific terrorist attacks that took place in Mumbai a few [...]
Who Do We Have To Thank?
As I drove around yesterday I was greeted by a wonderful sight. No, not Christmas decorations, although I do love them, the sight I am talking about is the price of gas. According to Gas Price Watch (http://www.gaspricewatch.com/) the national average for a gallon of regular is $1.81, the lowest priced gas is in Independence, [...]
Hearts, Hands, and Superglue
Yesterday our local newspaper proclaimed that November was Adoption Awareness Month. That it was a time to celebrate adoptive families, then the article went on to tell the readers that thousands more children need loving homes. On one hand, as an adoptive mom, I love the fact the newspaper did a blurb on Adoption Awareness [...]
I Coulda Had a V-8
Remember the “I Coulda Had a V-8 commercial where the person is eating something that is unhealthy and all of the sudden they bonk themselves in the head, and say “I coulda had a V-8”. Well that is how I imagine the left leaning members of the House & Senate with regard to off-shore drilling. [...]
