Thinking About The Future

2012-01-23T16:18:00.004-05:00

Of course, none of us knows what the future holds, and nobody knows that better than a Christian!

Pete doesn't retire for another 4 years (if there will be a retirement at all for those

"The State governments possess inherent advantages, which will ever give them an influence and ascendancy over the National Government, and will for ever preclude the possibility of federal encroachments. That their liberties, indeed, can be subverted by the federal head, is repugnant to every rule of political calculation." --Alexander Hamilton, speech to the New York Ratifying Convention, 1788

(Since hubby works nights, often I will waken to find little Leelan in Pete's spot, where he climbs in while I'm sleeping.)

For some odd reason, we are great at finding reasons not to attend church, not to get involved, & not to commit, but we are lousy at finding reasons to be obedient to God. Why is that? We are listening to the wrong voices. I’m talking about the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms that are out to destroy you. Why do we listen to them? Because they say what we like to hear. They

Why I Quit #Swagbucks

2011-04-07T00:26:00.000-04:00

The title of this post alone is shocking. After all of the excitement and "spreading the word" and all of my friends who have joined (including those who didn't use my name when they did), and all of the $5 amazon.com gift certificates I earned...today I quit. And this is why: First, they limited how many games could be won per month to 5. I was accumulating most of my SBs by playing those. But

URL: http://www.suite101.com/content/lewy-body-dementia-ofte...My mother has Lewy Body Dementia, and it was a long road - and a nearly deadly one - to her diagnosis. Doctors don't know, and in my mom's case it was a doctor's "all dementias are alike" belief, in spite of my arguments, that nearly killed her. I am thankful that she recovered to a degree, as many do not. But it is essential that

Need to Solve a #Cat Behavior Issue...Anyone?

2011-03-21T11:54:00.000-04:00

Sleepee, a 5YO neutered male cat we recently acquired from our local shelter, likes fuzzy things. That's probably not strange in itself, but he will steal a stuffed animal, for example, carry it around, stuff it under his belly so we can't get to it, even attack someone who tries to take it. He's grabbed my almost-2YO grandson's fleece shirt - while he was wearing it! - and my new slippers with

2011-03-18T13:35:00.000-04:00

Spring is coming. Our driveway is drowning in water from melted snow that has no place to go. The yard is full of stinking rotting leaves that didn't make it to the burn pile last fall. The dogs are tracking in mud and water that's sitting on top of the frozen ground, and their winter deposits are all visible and ugly. The melting snow has revealed brown vegetation, mud, litter, and other junk

Now that eating doesn't make me sick anymore, I've really been going crazy in the kitchen once again! I just love to cook (and shop/plan/devise/create!) and eat, and it has been such a downer the last few years that no matter what I ate, I would get sick. Now I don't get so much as a belly twinge, let alone all the rest, so I can indulge in my unbridled food passion once again! As a result I've

Some Jokes That Contain More Than A Morsel of Truth

2011-03-10T12:23:00.001-05:00

Anybody who knows me IRL knows that I love humor, and love to laugh. But not everything that is "humor" do I consider funny. Jokes that demean people don't make me laugh. Jokes that are insulting are not funny. My guideline is, if you wouldn't call someone a moron in a public arena, then don't do it in a joke. Jokes about private matters that are best left between a man and wife in the privacy of

This isn't a whiny post. It is puzzling to me, and also strange...so in writing about it maybe I can figure it out. It's no secret to those who spend time with me that I changed after my "cerebrovascular event" a couple of years ago. How I think and process information, as well as my personality (or so I'm told) is different now, in some subtle and not-so-subtle ways. I've of course adapted.

If you click on the title of this post, it will take you to bipartisan bill HR5939, introduced by Congressmen Chris Smith (R-NJ-04) and Dan Lipinski (D-IL), which moveon.org and others are stating "redefines rape" and which feminists across the 'net are screaming about. Wow. My first thought when I read the bill for myself was, "Did these people even READ the bill???" First of all, the word
