Election Day

***It seems as though every election we say this is the most critical one in our history. Fact is, they're all important. I do think it's important to at least keep the Republican majorities in the House and Senate in order to continue the good things that have been happening since Donald Trump was elected. I don't pretend to know what is going to happen today, but it's difficult to fathom that Americans would reward the Democrats for their behavior for the past couple of years. The icing on the cake was the Kavanaugh debacle. Their attempt to destroy a good man and his family in order to further their agenda is unforgivable, politically anyway. But...again, I don't know what's going to happen.

If we lose, though, I can tell you what will not happen. We will be upset and concerned about the future of our country, but we will not go into the pits of despair. We will get up tomorrow and go to work. There will be no "blood in the streets," as one Hollywood twit promised if the Democrats lose. We will not turn over police cars and set them on fire. We will not destroy property. We will deal with it, just like we did both times Obama was elected. That's the difference.

Pray and vote, vote and pray!

Bullying/Free Speech

Image
***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

Happy Frigid New Year!

***Wow, hasn't been this cold here in Indiana in several years. It was -14 yesterday, right now it's a balmy 2 degrees. I think it's supposed to get back to normal this weekend. Right now the teens is sounding pretty good! ***I read the neatest thing in my devotional this morning by Oswald Chambers : The Bible is a relation of facts, the truth of which must be tested. Life may go on all right for a while, when suddenly a bereavement comes, or some crisis; unrequited love or a new love, a disaster, a business collapse, or a shocking sin, and we turn up our Bibles again and God’s word comes straight home, and we say, “Why, I never saw that there before.” Shade of His Hand, 1223 L It is difficult to relate to an unbeliever the deep-seated comfort and joy that comes with one's salvation. Even when things are awful, and that happens at one time or another to everyone, I have a "peace that passes all understanding." (Phil. 4:7).  That is not a cli

Jumping on the Low Carb Bandwagon

Image
***Actually, we've been here before, both Mark & I. The bandwagon is quite familiar with us. Low carb eating works great, as long as you stick with it. You can't think of it as a temporary fix, though. If you go off of it, the weight comes right back. Take it from one who knows. :-) Today I'm going to try "Cloud Bread." Apparently that's a "thing," but I only heard about it yesterday. I hope it's as good as it looks. ***Well, the "Schumer Shutdown" happened yesterday. At least the Republicans so far aren't letting them hang it around their necks. The Dems own this one because they will not deal regarding illegal immigrants...they need their votes. And don't tell me illegal immigrants don't vote, of course they do. They aren't supposed to, but they do, and if they're given amnesty they'll be able to do it legally. We all know how they'll vote, too, that's why the Democrats are desperate to make
