ACORN, Obama, unlawful acts- should be under strict investigations

Kudos to James O’ Keefe and Hannah Giles for exposing what lies, unlawful, and treachery lies beneath the covers of ACORN.   BUT, will the left media pay much attention to this?  Will Obama speak out against this?  Apparently, this is “just some smear campaign”.  Wow, denial (or secrecy of corruption) is the quite the virtue [...]

Pro-Life, Anti-abortion activist, murdered. WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE??!!

James Pouillon, a well-known activist in the town of Owosso, Michigan was killed by some derranged guy with a great chip on his shoulder on a very evil day. Where is the outrage by the country? Why isn’t it on the news? IF not for a few weeks, at least a day [...]

30 days, pro-choice in a pro-life world

I happen to catch a show of “30 days” late last night (when I should of been sleeping), a reality show by Morgan Spurlock, about a pro-choice woman to took on the challenge of living 30 days at “His Nesting Place“, a faith-based pro-life organization (a great opportunity for ministry or help).   Watching the show [...]

A Christian’s life…

…is not guaranteed protection from hardships, trials, & pains in this life.  In fact, we are warned about it, that it WILL come, and when it does, to ENDURE.   1Pe 1:6  In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials,
1Pe 1:7  so that the tested [...]

for it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am Holy, says the LORD. (1peter 1:16)

1Pe 1:15-16  “but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”
What a sobering and wondrous command.  Oh the challenge & complexity of understanding it all!   How many of us struggle with this?  I would dare say [...]

Pro-Choice=Abortion=baby torture

For those who oppose torture & are pro-choice, I ask you, how can you declare equality & justice for terrorists & lawbreakers (especially repeat offenders), & luxurious amenities in jails (like cable tv, workout gyms, etc) yet you are ok with the slaughter of innocent human babies who have committed no wrong, though you would [...]

Obama, Sotomayor, & the liberal double standard

The unfortunate double standard used by democrats is shameful.  They will constantly use this against the conservatives.  I will admit there are probably some in the conservative group who are prejudice but doesn’t mean ALL are.  That is just a lie they want you to believe.
Now that the republicans face a nomination, in which they [...]

Down syndrome & challenges of finding love

I just read a disgusting story of an adoptive mom who is desperately seeking sexual experiences for her down syndrome son. Read story here.  I find this notion so utterly offensive.  I’m a mom of a down syndrome teenager and for that mom to insist that for her son to be and feel normal is [...]

Rising numbers of ProLifers

Newest gallup poll in May 2009 shows an increase of pro-lifers in America @ 51% of Americans calling themselves “pro-life” on the issue of abortion and 42% “pro-choice. I just wonder if these same people who consider themselves pro-life also deem it so important that they vote accordingly?  Or is it one of those, “well, [...]

ShamWow towels (& weird infomercial guy) disappoints

Some of you may know that the guy that does the commercial for those infamous orange towels that claim to pick up an ocean of liquid w/o any effort, y’know the one with the spikey hair, hyper, yeah, him.  So, I found out he was arrested and charged with battery a few months back.  Apparently, [...]

Follow the yellow… patches of grass?

Ok, so aside from my mistakenly bad judgement of spraying our yards with weed killer at night when I couldn’t see well, other parts of our backyard is looking a bit like we’ve been warped into Oz where we would NOT be frollicking on the yellow brick road, er… I mean yellow patches of dead [...]

ACLU, out to get you!

Does the ACLU have nothing better to do than interfere with every city/state’s every litigation?  I mean really!  Last year in 08, our locaI library board voted against keeping a “pornographic”, aka, “mature” sexual books out of easy reach of the public, mainly for the protection of children.   Then the complaints came in from [...]

Making Mother’s day last

For those of you who take joy in celebrating mother’s day, may I encourage you to appreciate your mother/sister/gramma on an ongoing basis?  Should our appreciation for our moms shine one day a year?  We should intentionally acknowledge this day, this occasion more than once a year.  Let her know how much you love her.
Just [...]

Slumdog Millionaire, 4/5*

So we got our last free Monday rental from the Redbox, likely b/c they realized their lure wasn’t working and losing money in turn.  Oh well.  We’re thankful for all previous free movies.  Thanks Redbox!
Our (my husby and I) movie time is usually when kids go to bed & all our ends are tight and [...]

Missionaries, their courageous faith & devotion to the great commission

We recently had the priviledge to attend a dedication of a new plane that MAF (Mission Aviation Fellowship) http://www.maf.org/, a local training hub for missionaries old, new & to be.  They train families in vast & various ways for their venture into areas of the country they will soon discover is alien to them.  There [...]

beware: Judy Blume fans & pro-lifers don’t mix well

world of coupons, deal me a deal!

Ok, so I’m really into deals & coupons.  I’m really digging this free stuff.   Not being rich has given me opportunity to learn frugality & smart-shop sense.  I like to bargain me a deal.  My husband dreads being by my side when at yard sales or trying to rectify a price situation.  I finally have [...]

NUMA, not NOOMA, & Frodo?

There’s this kinda weird, fanciful kids show with a bright, colorful crew of characters and my girls like it. I admit, they have some cool songs. One of which, this one, I do not remember. Largely, b/c it’s not the original script. I know. I’m a genius. I saw this before I saw the [...]

tv infomercials, the products (oxyclean, hercules hooks, mighty putty) & the infamous big-bearded smiley guy- billy mays

Ok, so we all know the lameness of infomercials & their ability to sell products that may, well, be not all they claim to be.  But I must say, so far, oxyclean & hercules hooks have proven worthy so far.  I’m in  the process of testing out the ‘mighty putty’.
We enjoy watching the infomercials.  It’s [...]

to sometimes think like a child, as we grow older

There is great innocence and wisdom that can be learned from the minds of children.  I was just thinking of the joys and freedoms of childhood, if you’ve been blessed with a good, normal one, that is. (Which can be relative, I know)
Tonight, I was reminded of treasuring the simple joys of life, you know, [...]

God’s church is NOT the place for a theatrical play!

Are you serious? Don’t turn the Lord’s church into a show? It’s not for our glory but HIS!

“The Day the Earth Stood Still” movie review

Uh, all i can say is…give me a break. Totally earthly, evolutionist-thinking, global-warming-scared, worldly existentialism, sci-fi.
When I saw keanu reeves name, I was like, ‘oh boy’. He doesn’t get many great roles, does he?
If you haven’t seen it yet, I say pass. we got to watch it for free.
I give it 2 thumbs down. what [...]
