the gay community is up in arms over obama’s decision to have rick warren say a prayer at the inaugrual…

the gay community comprises of about 1% of the nations population…and yet, they have the biggest and most sniveling voice around! maybe the hispanic community should holler about a non-hispanic minister saying the prayer! or, NOW screaming cuz it’s not a woman! or, the animal rights activists! or, whoever!

this nation is based on Christian principles…and, there is a majority of people in this country who believe marriage is between a man and a woman!

deal with it! get over yourselves, gays and lesbians…you’re a minority who, according to the belief system of the majority of people, are living in sin and should read Romans chapter 1…

God bless America

we’re in trouble…i think we’re going to find out more and more about obama and his friends in Chicago as his presidency begins and continues into the next four years…stuff that the liberal media will either ignore or be shocked about for about 3 seconds and then blame the bush administration…

have you heard about the whole mayan calendar ending in 2012 and that’s when the world will end? very strange theory/conspiracy…i’m not sure how people with any brains at all can fall for this stuff but, it’s sortof like the whole obama phenomenon…

here’s my theory: obama runs for president and because he’s well spoken, charming, charismatic, liberal, promising hope and change, handsome and has a lovely family, he’s hailed as the next messiah…the press ignore his background and his past associates…anyone who brings up his middle name, his past associates, his past friends, his past at all, is a racist and ostracized by the liberal media as an idiot…now, it’s only a matter of time that obama’s involvement is exposed in the whole governor of Illinois thing…whether it’s him or one of his ‘advisors’ or even one of his cabinet members, someone close to obama was entangled in that mess…it’s the ‘chicago way’!!! and obama was knee deep into it!!!

my prediction: obama will skate on this issue, then he’ll make insane decisions and take us into another depression…or, some hard evidence will come out and he’ll be accused of something and then the liberal media will either ignore it or be shocked for about 3 seconds and then blame the bush administration…

my mom told me that a friend of hers had an idea: bush resigns, chaney takes office and appoints condi rice as his vice president…then, he resigns and we have our first female, black president…sortof takes the wind out of the hope and change ticket…

oh my…i just heard that the governor of illinois is corrupt…interesting…chicago politicians are corrupt? it’s like saying sugar is sweet and cocaine is addictive…

i’m wondering if the feds find out that obama is involved with the gov, as he was when they were both running for office, will that mean we can impeach him? i mean, the left is calling for obama to be more assertive! if he can be more assertive as pres-elect, can’t we impeach him?

i’m thinking that we should shut chicago down and fence it off like in that movie ‘escape from new york’…make it a massive prison…then, when obama shuts down gitmo, the inmates can live in chicago…they’ll feel right at home…

during the holiday season, people tend to become focused on themselves and their families and friends…they spend money they don’t have on things people don’t need…they spend time with people they don’t like very much and barely know…they worry about whether their tree will be pretty enough and whether there will be enough presents under it to satisfy the kids who have more than enough already…they try to pacify and satisfy family members they only see once a year and who are too critical or don’t care…happy holidays…

whether you believe that Christ was born on December 25th or not, the season of joy and giving is important to children and to the young at heart…it’s a time of reflection…it’s a time of hope…it’s a time to give…

it’s time for the Christmas ‘to do’ list…and, this year, do it right…

1. make cookies for the men and women in the military…they need them more than the nieces and nephews who have plenty of snacks and don’t need them anyway…
2. call you minister and ask if there is anything you can do to help with anything…he’ll appreciate it and you might enjoy it!
3. visit the elderly in the local old folks home…sit and listen to their stories…read to them if they can’t read for themselves anymore…comfort them if they are dying…hold them if they are frightened…
4. give love to the unloved…give toys to the homeless children…take a bag of gifts to the local orphanage…find out if there are any foster kids around and take them books to read…
5. go to your local grocery store or food bank and buy the hungry some food…not the old stuff in your pantry that you’ll never eat…new food, fresh food, nutritious food…
6. all of us know of someone who will be alone on Christmas day…even if you don’t like them, they are God’s children…invite them over for dinner…and give them a gift…think of it as a partial repayment for Christ’s dying for you…
7. pray for our nation and our leaders…pray for the men and women overseas who are defending your right to celebrate this holiday…pray for our missionaries who are suffering and dying while teaching others about the reason for this holiday…

finally, open your heart to the possibility of joy and love outside your comfort zone…think of it as an exercise of being Christ-like…read James 1:27…put it into practice…especially in this time of economic strain…give to those who don’t have anything…trust me, it’ll look good on your resume for eternal life…

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays

The time to give thanks for the bounty given us all by the grace of God is behind us, and the celebration of the birth of Christ lies ahead. Reflections on the hopes and dreams and mindless optimism for what may lie in wait in the new year will follow shortly afterward.

I have been in a few places in my life these past few months that darken all that hope and optimism these celebrations are intended to convey. I am working through them, and am just here so long as necessary to thank Janet for her continued commitment to the cause, and to those of you that still come by to read the thoughts and insights of those of us that refuse to turn out the lights and close up shop.

I will be back when God finishes taking me through this journey only HE seems to understand the reasons for which I have been made to endure. Until then, Godspeed and good cheer to you all.

i am thankful everyday for my parents and the work ethic they instilled in me…i am thankful for the freedom of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness…i am thankful for the lives lost for the freedoms i take for granted…i am thankful for all of the children of this nation fighting for and dying for those freedoms…i am thankful for my own children and grandchildren – they are the reasons i get out of bed each day…

thank you, Lord, for my life, my loved ones and my salvation…may we be more thankful each and every day for all we have and are able to do and say…and, may we share our blessings with each other more often than once a year…

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!
