The Way I See It #296
My friend surprised me with a delicious Sbx this morning. What a yummy treat and wonderful way to start the day! Sbx coffees haven’t been part of my ‘diet regimen’ lately, but today I obviously had to make concessions for… well, what could I have done? Tell my dear friend, no thanks, I’m dieting… […]...

encouragement & geography today…
I’m thinking of how our children learn, what motivates them the most and what creates the greatest results in homeschooling? Yes! it’s enthusiasm and love — it’s saying to our children: I am so for you!! I love you!! Maybe at home today we need to give a little more attention to what’s most important […]...

The Mothers Act
The MOTHERS ACT has been reintroduced in both the U.S. House of Representatives (H.R. 20 introduced Jan 6th 2009) and the U.S. Senate (S. 324 introduced Jan 26 2009). Messages to members of Congress should be gracious, direct and to the point. “The Mothers Act is a bill which will increase mental health screening of […]...

You’ll Have Free Speech (if you agree)
Another day… what’s next? Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee has launched a petition against Rush Limbaugh. This, to me, is amazing — ludicrous, really, in light of the fact that Barack Obama was given a free pass — unwavering acceptance and free coverage by the adoring press for the last 18 months or so. This isn’t […]...

News Dujour 1.26.9
The irony of headlines… one for preventing birth, one promoting. Nancy Pelosi will likely regret the faulty logic she’s employing to suggest birthcontrol will help the economy. A proponent of big huge government, Pelosi seems to forget or ignores the fact that socialism needs lots of new little producers (read: taxpayersandpayersandpayers) to support the regime. […]...

About that Sad Day…
Now it will begin to be very clear as to why I wrote the blog entry: one-of-the-saddest-days-in-the-history-of-this-nation. I knew I wasn’t alone in holding that opinion — and I know I’m not alone now. Tens of millions of *innocent* children — unborn babies — have been murdered in this nation since the legalization and […]...

Inauguration Day 2009
Today, Barack Hussein Obama was sworn in as the 44th President of these United States of America. It is a new day in this land as the 44th President began his speech, “My fellow citizens…” Yes, indeed, change has come to America. But what is this change, really? I listened to the speech… and […]...

The Way I See It #76
I suppose that I might have cause to celebrate. It’s a sunny day. The water surrounding our home receded at such a significant rate that we’re now able to see all of our property and much of the surrounding farmland. This is amazing. O, and I didn’t get Sbx cup #280. Maybe, had I gotten […]...

A Book and a Movie
I’m thinking about blind acceptance and emperors… the events of the days behind us and before us and a book and a movie come to mind. And I wonder what really matters to people — if it matters that there’s nothing there or if there’ll be a little child standing in the crowd pointing out […]...

cream puffs.
Blind trust is a dangerous thing sometimes. It’s what makes us vulnerable to accepting things we’d not ordinarily accept and makes us do things we’d not ordinarily do. Hope’s like that sometimes too. We sometimes want something so badly that we’ll believe just about anything for that need to be met or filled. Some will […]...
