Are you up now? Mom told me about your appt. with the dermatologist on Tuesday! Girl, I'm gonna get too! You have got to take care of yourself... yes as a caregiver you put other's first... but in this case... you must put yourself and your healing first! Now I will preach what I do not practice....drink lots of water and exercise...mom said that that seemed to help in the past! Let me know how things go!
Thank you! And I actually wasn't all that impressed by Denver, so who knows! I'm trying to use this time as a lesson in living in uncertainty and ambiguity :) (Granted, all of life has some of that, but sometimes I don't think of it that way... :)
I must say, this was one of the most exciting college games I have ever been to. Neyland Stadium is very big- very loud- and I think very pretty....but still- it was no match for the Tide!! We are now 8-0...Go Bama Go!!!!
Yes, he is back and we are splitting the preaching duties again. He stepped down from preaching about 3 years ago, but now that his workbook and DC commitments are over, he is back with us in Orlando. I'm very glad.
Like the picture!! My husband and I were able to go, too. He tried to get a shot of the score board, but they had zeroed it out before he got to it. I know that this sounds like a terrible mooch, but could we get a copy of your scoreboard pic??? If not, that is fine, but if so, I will get you our email address! Thanks! Roll Tide!
Okay guys I know you are sick of this...but I just can't voice this enough..... However, I promise, this is and will be my last post on the whole crazy political election stuff!
Please go to this site
Factcheck.org If anyone that has children, plan on having children, or even has a thought of having children - this should make you upset and angry. And I'll just go ahead and say it...anyone who is a Christian and is a believer in God--- how can you morally and spiritually even consider voting for Obama on Election Day!?
Even though this is only one issue--- it's a huge issue to me-and I feel strongly about this as a mother and a friend of others who at one time wanted to have a baby but couldn't or the ones that carried a baby to term and lost them and to the many that I know who have had babies that were not as the world puts it "medically normal".
Not to mention the newest allegation against Obama- of “not being a Natural born citizen”—(which is one of the requirements of becoming a US president).... this issue of infanticide just sends me off steaming mad and it should do the same to you! Whoever can morally justify abortions or not aiding in those babies of botched abortions is spiritually condemned!
Please vote for our country in the most Biblical mind set that you possibly can. No one is perfect I get that—and I know that God will take care of His own- we shouldn’t worry about that. But, we as Christians can do our part here on earth to help keep God’s moral standards in our country and the world around us! Pray and then pray some more!
I received this in an email today and thought it was very interesting and wanted to share with all of you....
Do Facts Matter?
By Thomas Sowell
Abraham Lincoln said, "You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you can't fool all the people all the time."
Unfortunately, the future of this country, as well as the fate of the Western world, depends on how many people can be fooled on election day, just a few weeks from now.
Right now, the polls indicate that a whole lot of the people are being fooled a whole lot of the time.
The current financial bailout crisis has propelled Barack Obama back into a substantial lead over John McCain— which is astonishing in view of which man and which party has had the most to do with bringing on this crisis.
It raises the question: Do facts matter? Or is Obama's rhetoric and the media's spin en ough to make facts irrelevant?
Fact Number One: It was liberal Democrats, led by Senator Christopher Dodd and Congressman Barney Frank, who for years— including the present year— denied that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were taking big risks that could lead to a financial crisis.
It was Senator Dodd, Congressman Frank and other liberal Democrats who for years refused requests from the Bush administration to set up an agency to regulate Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
It was liberal Democrats, again led by Dodd and Frank, who for years pushed for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to go even further in promoting subprime mortgage loans, which are at the heart of today's financial crisis.
Alan Greenspan warned them four years ago. So did the Chairman of the Cou ncil of Economic Advisers to the President. So did Bush's Secretary of the Treasury, five years ago.
Yet, today, what are we hearing? That it was the Bush administration "right-wing ideology" of "de-regulation" that set the stage for the financial crisis. Do facts matter?
We also hear that it is the free market that is to blame. But the facts show that it was the government that pressured financial institutions in general to lend to subprime borrowers, with such things as the Community Reinvestment Act and, later, threats of legal action by then Attorney General Janet Reno if the feds did not like the statistics on who was getting loans and who wasn't.
Is that the free market? Or do facts not matter?
Then there is the question of being against the "gree d" of CEOs and for "the people." Franklin Raines made $90 million while he was head of Fannie Mae and mismanaging that institution into crisis.
Who in Congress defended Franklin Raines? Liberal Democrats, including Maxine Waters and the Congressional Black Caucus, at least one of whom referred to the "lynching" of Raines, as if it was racist to hold him to the same standard as white CEOs.
Even after he was deposed as head of Fannie Mae, Franklin Raines was consulted this year by the Obama campaign for his advice on housing!
The Washington Post criticized the McCain campaign for calling Raines an adviser to Obama, even though that fact was reported in the Washington Post itself on July 16th. The technicality and the spin here is that Raines is not officially listed as an adviser. But someone who advises is an adviser, whether or not his name appears on a letterhead.
The tie between Barack Obama and Franklin Raines is not all one-way. Obama has been the second-largest recipient of Fannie Mae's financial contributions, right after Senator Christopher Dodd.
But ties between Obama and Raines? Not if you read the mainstream media.
Facts don't matter much politically if they are not reported.
The media alone are not alone in keeping the facts from the public. Republicans, for reasons unknown, don't seem to know what it is to counter-attack. They deserve to lose.
But the country does not deserve to be put in the hands of a glib and cocky know-it-all, who has accomplished absolutely nothing beyond the advancement of h is own career with rhetoric, and who has for years allied himself with a succession of people who have openly expressed their hatred of America.
While I think neither side is perfect...there are some major facts that many still don't know or have uncovered about the Democratic candidate, Obama. For that reason alone- I think we all as a nation need to take this election very seriously! Most Americans are desperate for change in the White House- and while I may agree that many things need to change--- I still feel that at the end of the day-Lord willing- that most people in this great country, will vote the most experienced and safest of the two...May God be with all of us in the next few weeks!
