prayer One of our greatest obstacles to prayer is ANSWERED prayer. We assume we know how God will answer - how He will work -- that because He has answered in a specific way in the past -- He will do thus now. We must seek what God *will* do, not just on what He *has* done. If we prayer for what we think God can answer, we limit Him to our own imagination instead of being open to *whatever* HE will do or however HE will answer and lead.

American Tea Party Song – Lloyd Marcus
The lyrics, copyright Zephyrus Music, are:
Mr President!
Your stimulus is sure to bust
Its just a socialistic scheme
The only thing it will do
Is kill the American Dream
You wanna take from achievers
Somehow you think that’s fair.
And redistribute to those folks
Who won’t get out of their easy chair.
We’re havin’ a tea party across this land
If you love this country
Come on and join our band
We’re standin’ up for freedom and liberty
Cause patriots have shown us freedom ain’t free
So when they [...]

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 pregnant women and new mothers,despite the fact that the widely accepted treatment for women diagnosed with postpartum depression is antidepressant drugs — documented by the U.S. FDA to [...]

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 a Rush love-in — is not a blanket endorsement of Rush Limbaugh–sincerely, but is an encouragement to be mindful of treasured Constitutional rights. I offer this [...]

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.
The Canon corporation in Japan sees the negative result of low birthrate and is scrambling to reverse the trend of negative population numbers. Simple economics reveals the [...]

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 government sanctioned abortions. It doesn’t seem to matter one iota what George Bush did in his tenure as President — but if nothing else, he did [...]

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 I marveled: here is a man who has few (name some?) notable political accomplishments — what track record demonstrates what he says is what he will do. [...]

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 the obvious. And will anyone there have the courage to see?
The Emperor’s New Clothes… a book. Being There… a movie.
Just [...]

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 sacrifice just about anything to have deep seated longings fulfilled.
When I was six years old my mother was dating a man she would eventually marry. I [...]

January 20, 2009 will be, no doubt, a day marking the beginning of some of the most significant political decisions this country has ever experienced — and, in my opinion, one of the saddest days in the history of this once great nation. I decided not even to comment on the planned events of the inaugural week — for some are so vile it’s actually shocking to read. I write this two and a half days before the actually [...]

End the shame. Protect against childhood sexualabuse. The shame comes from keeping quiet about CSA. Jesus loves us, Jesus heals us.
