I'm Baaack!

***Hi! I took about a year and a half off due to time constraints, etc. However, I found I really missed blogging my thoughts and opinions. Even if nobody reads them, I like writing them down. Took a while to find a name that nobody else had, finally had to include my name. This'll do! Now I have to relearn how to use all the gadgets in Blogger.

***Lots of places in the U.S. needing prayer right now - Houston, Montana, Oregon, Florida. Lots of bad stuff going on. I chose to give through Focus on the Family for Harvey relief, 90% of what you give goes directly to help those in need down there. I know we have strange weather in Indiana sometimes, but we don't see extremes like the people down there are experiencing.

***Gonna have to make this a short one as I have lots of work to do! I plan to post daily, looking forward to it!

***“Numerous have been the manifestations of God's providence in sustaining us. In the gloomy period of adversity, we have had 'our cloud by day and pillar of fire by night.' We have been reduced to distress, and the arm of Omnipotence has raised us up.”


Samuel Adams

Bullying/Free Speech

***I have to get this off my chest. I have avoided the myriad threads in Facebook about the tragedy that took place in Richmond last week as I didn't want to deal with the inevitable silliness that would follow my posting my opinion. The boy's mother is the one who called in the tip, and the police where there when he arrived. She no doubt saved several lives, the boy in question had two firearms and explosives in his possession. He obviously was planning to do a lot of harm. Since then, however, there has been an overabundance of weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth. Of course it's tragic and awful, you would have to be nuts to think otherwise. BUT, if the Dennis middle schoolers did not feel like victims before, they certainly do now. Counselors, days out of school, free T-shirts, free day at the local recreational complex, endless worrying about their feelings...not terrible things, but come on. So many are wailing about bullying and how it has to stop and oh, what a

Christmas Stuff!

***Today's the day we go and cut our Christmas tree with Johnathan, and then tomorrow we are going shopping with both kids...what a perfect weekend! We got our outdoor lights up this morning, now to have Johnathan help us drag all the Christmas tubs down from the attic. I'm starting to get in the spirit, all I need now is a little snow. :-) ***The Washington Post , as usual, is misrepresenting the GOP tax bill , claiming it, wait for it, benefits the wealthy more than the poor and middle class. Gosh, never heard that before, have we? In fact: What the Post reporters don’t tell readers is that other measures of the Senate tax cut bill’s effects contradict their chosen – Democratic – narrative. To cite just one example, the Cato Institute’s Chris Edwards looked at the aggregate percentage cuts by income range. Taxpayers earning $40,000 to $50,000 annually would see a 51 percent reduction. Similarly, those earning $75,000 to $100,000 would see a 17 percent aggregate re
