Israel

I found this on a friend's FB:
 I think the Native Americans and Mexico should call for the US to return to it's previous borders too. Then we could say we are being fair. Oh and Israel should tell Washington that it needs to quit building in the city. Why stop there though? Let's just give America back to England - it's not like we fought a war and won it fair and square.

Found this while looking for a picture of the Israel flag:

And finally....

Guess you probably know my stand on Israel?

The Death of Osama bin Laden

I know I'll rattle a few cages here, but SERIOUSLY I am not convinced the man is dead.  I think it's totally a political tactic from Obama.  Why do I think that?

Unfortunately until they show his dead body being dumped overboard and the Navy Seals attack, I don't think I'm convinced he's dead. 

I mean think about it, first, and finally,  Obama releases his birth certificate after how long? Then all of a sudden, Bin Laden is assassinated and his body is dumped? (Obama didn't want us over there to begin with) and then tries to make it sound like it's a US victory, when (if you recall) His wife, Michelle Obama, isn't proud to be an American....

Not to mention the already many conflicting stories of Bin Laden's death....HELLO?!


Come on! Seriously, what's wrong with this picture?  Anyone else see it like this?

Seriously, New York????

Before I start my rant....I want to apologize for just disappearing.  I have a lengthy explanation, and am working on that post, but to simply state it....I was in sin, and just didn't feel like posting.  I'm sorry for letting so many people down.  I will post about it later, but I'm not finished with that post yet.  I would appreciate prayers-it's a delicate and difficult situation, but I have always tried to be honest with you, and I won't change that now.

Seriously, New York?

You may wonder what in the world I'm even referring to.  I'm ranting about NY getting one of the space shuttles.  GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

Living in TX most of my life, Houston none-the-less, This is a tremendous blow to the city and state.  I can understand FL, CA, and WDC getting a shuttle, but NY?  Yes, I know it's all political....yeah, like they are going to score points with me....but come on, did we hear the astronaunts say, "New York, the Eagle has landed?"  or did we hear on Apollo 13 did they say, "New York, we have a problem?" 

Ummm....NO! 

Houston has been served a HUGE injustice again.  sigh....I could really get on a soap box here....the Astros and Bud Selig, the Summer Olympics....just to name a few....but seriously....NY?  

What on earth other than politics could anyone be thinking?  NASA's heart and soul is the Houston area, and has been from practically day one.  

For over 30 years, men and women have given their all to the space program, moving their families to Houston to train, study, etc.  Several contracting companies have been associated with NASA and the Space program. 

When the Shuttle exploded in 1986, President Regan came to Houston.  Why?  Because most of the Astronaunts that died were living in Houston at the time. 

I am SO disappointed and angry by this decision.

God Bless the men and women that have sacrificed their lives, time, and energy in our Space program and made Houston the great city it is.  Thank you for all you have done over the years.  Maybe you didn't get the shuttle, but your hard work and determination hasn't gone unnoticed by everyone. 

(BTW....this was on my FB AFTER I posted this blog post, so I came and added it on.)
Will you consider signing a petition?

Muslims Discovered America?

Have you seen this video?  I'll post my opinions, etc.  another day.

BP Oil Spill

The more I hear about the BP Oil Spill the more disgusted I get with our government!  I am more and more convinced that our government sabotaged the BP rig. 

The President has mentioned a number of times that he wanted to discontinue off shore drilling, not only in his election, but now in his administration.

The President has recently blamed the UK and BP for the incident-what better way to say..."See, I told you it's bad for the environment and must be stopped", then to place the blame on someone else and not take responsiblity yourself?

My husband has played an active part in designing and planning oil platform/rigs similar to BP's.  Yesterday, while talking to a friend, he said, "There is no way it could fail."  He also mentioned, that they could do something else to cap it off within the first day, and cause it not to leak all that oil.  (I don't remember how he worded the whole thing, and I don't know all the lingo of the incident, so my explanation might not come across as a strong argument, but I do know that if it looks like a duck and walks like a duck...)

There's just too many questionables out there.

A LOT of HOT air!!!

No Surprise. GOD is still on HIS throne

I know many of us are very disappointed in our congress for the passing of the healthcare reform.  But have I got good news for you.  GOD is still on HIS throne and this didn't take HIM by surprise.  GLORY to GOD for that! 

Do you know why our country thinks they need socialized healthcare?  Because we quit trusting GOD for our healings.  We decided going to the doctor was more important than going to the GREAT PHYSICIAN.  Dr. LUKE in the Bible...His job was to diagnose the sickness, so that the people knew how to pray to the GREAT PHYSICIAN and then go back to the doctor and he could declare them clean and free and healed!  It's about time we turn back to that kind of healthcare!

Now, maybe not everyone is going to get healed, but does that mean we quit praying?  Does that mean we quit looking to GOD?  NO!  We are in a lost and fallen world.  But if we get sick or struck with a disease, it is for GOD's GLORY that HE may be edified, not for the medical profession and insurance to make a killing financially.

Hey I'm just saying....

Blessings until next time!

An Interesting Wakeup Call and Stocks...

I called my stockbroker today and asked, "what are you buying" ?
His answer: canned goods and ammunition.


Here's an interesting video...certainly a wakeup call if true (which I suspect a lot of it will come to pass)

100 days

Well it's the closing of Obama's first 100 days. Many people, including myself, aren't happy with his choices. But instead of looking at the negative, I want to look at the positive. We're 100 days closer to JESUS. :D

FINALLY an answer...Hysterical, but an answer!

I put my "CHANGE" post over on yahoo answers...Mostly I got anti-Obama answers, like I got here and on my Facebook, however I did receive this answer:

"Speaking for myself, the change I'm looking for has already started. It's a Government with less of an ego. It's about putting the smartest and best people in the right positions to make the decisions in the best interests for the people. Obama is probably one of the most intelligent Presidents we've ever had. He knows how to manage people and he knows how to take different points of view to determine the best course of action. Change he's been talking about goes deeper than world peace, the economy, or health care. Now we have a government which is beginning to put the interests of it's people first, not the other way around. That is the change I was seeking and believe many of the other Obama supports were too. I hope that helps"


Um okay...so this guy seriously thinks that Obama doesn't have an ego? And I won't even comment on the rest...sigh...

and another answer...
"George Bush did whatever he wanted including starting an unnecessary war (there was no Al Qaeda in Iraq when Bush declared war) and had the interests of the wealthy and big corporations (Big Oil got a $2 billion tax break amongst their record profits) at hand but did little for the needs of the middle class. You're probably not a senior citizen, but the Bush Medicare Drug Plan served the interests of the Drug and Insurance Companies, but not the people who need medicines (what a terrible plan). The Republicans won't admit it, but Obama got elected, not because of hs color, but because of Bush's approval ratings (only 27%). Any future U.S. President must do better and most expect Obama do do better than that."
So it looks like instead of looking at the facts, many of the Obamars voted for him because they choose to believe the liberal media???? Ummm, not that I'm shocked, or even surprised...

CHANGE???

Okay, I've been pondering all day the "Change" that people have been anticipating that Obama will bring...the problem is...I don't get it...what are they wanted changed? I'm serious...what is it people are expected?

Do people seriously believe that he will change the economy when the democrats are the the ones that brought change the past 2 years?

Do they want the abortion laws changed? and if so, why? Why would they want the law changed to kill a baby when it's 2/3rds term and babies born at this stage can be, when born premature, kept alive? What if Obama's mother believed in abortion? What if instead of adoption the birth mother aborted? How about teaching kids abstenence and morals? How about teaching them that if they have sex that pregnancy is a possibility and along comes responsibility? And abortion is just a cop out for responsibility???

Do they thing pulling out of the war will bring peace? Because if they did a little history study they would find the muslim and christian nations have been at war since the time of Abraham and will continue to be so until the end of time. It's not that difficult to figure out.

Do they think that health care should be socialized? Because most of the healthcare around the world is and it stinks...just ask people that live in a different country than the US. It's not the health professionals to blame, it's the insurance companies.

Do they seriously think everyone in America should get a hand out? I believe in giving to the less fortunate...but that means helping those that fall on hard times...not people that are too lazy to get off their rears and not try to get a job or work. The Bible clearly states a man that doesn't work shouldn't eat...so why should we be handing over cars and houses to them?

Is it just that people think a black man should be elected? So we elect someone because of the color of their skin instead of voting for his/her principles and morals?

So what change are people looking for...because frankly I don't get it...I really don't...so would someone that actually voted for Obama please explain it to me? Because I really would like to understand it, then maybe change really can begin!

sad for America today...

Why? Because whether it's GOD's will or not...it's sad that American's have become so ignorant.

Why is it okay to vote for someone because they are black, but if you don't you're a racist?

Why is it okay to kill innocent babies in the womb?

Why is it okay for the new first lady say she hates America? MOVE THEN!!!!

Why do people think that one man is in control of our government? Did they not take a Government class in school and learn there are three, yes, three branches of government?

Why is it that we had 6 wonderful years of the Bush administration and now that the Congress has been running the congress for the past 2 years, the United States has gone to hell in a hand basket?

Why is it this man was able to get elected and there is no paper trail, no birth certificate, no college records?

Why does America think that one man can change anything if it's not JESUS?

I have a million whys and yet I have no answers except to look up....

And yet I know it's all GOD's will. HE allowed it to happen. Is it what HE wanted? I don't think so, but HE allowed it to happen. So again, I will lift my eyes unto Heaven, where my help and strength comes from and pray that things will change for the better, that America will turn to GOD and see its wicked ways...

Blessings until next time!

Respect

I was speaking to a VERY conservative friend the other day. We were talking about the election. I knew she would not be happy about the election results. She mention that she wants to bring her kids up to respect the office of the presidency. I mentioned I know how hard that will be with the lack of values and value of life the newly elected president seems to hold.

After I got off the phone with her I started thinking about it. I became convicted. I realized that I need to teach my kids to respect this new president elect. I need to tell them why from what I feel like GOD showed me.

Here's why...
We might be in a place like Esther one day...the only way we will be able to save ourselves (sort of speak) is by showing respect and the love of JESUS. Maybe things won't get this bad...I don't know, but I want my kids to have been taught to respect and pray a person we don't agree with.

Blessings until next time!

What's in a name???

Dh did a name search...thought I'd share...under each name dh left his thoughts on the name...the last line is his too. :P

Interesting name research


Barak: means “Lightning spark”

which lightning usually is associated with a storm and Darkness….

Hussein: means “Handsome one”

His looks were the faction that bought him the presidency…..

Obama: means “Slightly bent”

His platform of change that was and still is being spoken is just a mence of words that talk about nothing or Speaking in circles without answering the question……

If you don’t think we are in trouble, just look at the name. and if you still feel like he is the answer, then you need more help than you know…..
******
I found this while researching the name Barak...someone commented on one of the hs boards I post that it meant blessing...this is what I found...
It means in Arabic...blessing...
in hebrew it means lightening...

The Rise of a New Socialism...

Here's a great article by Perry Stone...I kinda think in the next few weeks, months, years, I'll be using his information a lot....
http://www.voe.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=110

and then here's another great article...
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2008/nov/04/treasury-submits-to-shariah/

I can't even begin to articulate

I can't even begin to articulate my feelings or thoughts on the election.
I am very disappointed and sad...I know to trust GOD and I will do that. I'm not sure if I'm sad for America as a whole, or only those that don't know HIM. But I am indeed sad...if they only knew the truth...and if they only understood Bible prophecy. It's not looking good for lots of people...including those that say they know the LORD. I'm not trying to speak gloom and doom, just that history always repeats itself...this won't be too fun, except on if you're planning on leaving on the Gospel ship high in the sky soon.

Perry Stone spoke at Campmeeting tonight...it was good...really good....

I'm tired...and glad that even though I'm sad, I'm thankful the election process is over for now. I'm also thankful that GOD didn't just fall off HIS throne and didn't see this coming. I believe we did have the opportunity to bend GOD's ear...I don't believe everything is predestined. Agree or not...I don't care...but this is my blog and I would appreciate if you respect my opinions.

Blessings until next time.

FINALLY!!!

Yep, ELECTION DAY 2008 is FINALLY here...
We will have a new president, vice president, house, congress, etc...many are concerned...many are worried about finances, the economy...what WILL happen to the United States?

The other night Campmeeting at our home church began. Campmeeting is a 4 day/night services of special speakers. It's usually a time that old members that have moved away to start their own churches come back, etc. Most of all it is a time of refreshment in the HOLY SPIRIT!!!

Sunday night we were there. Pastor gave an encouraging word before the guest speaker spoke.
Pastor talked about the economy, finances, and the election. One thing that really stood out that Pastor said was, There are going to be people that are angry if Obama gets elected. There are going to be people angry if McCain gets elected. It's our job as the church (personal side note...this doesn't refer to the building here...it refers to the body of believers) to help a hurting nation. It is our job to show them the light. We don't put our trust in a man, we put our trust in the KING of KINGS and the LORD of LORDS!!!

YES, we do!!! HALLELUJAH!!! PRAISE the LORD!!!!

So, will I be disappointed if one person is elected over the other? YES, but does that sway my trust in GOD and HIS faithfulness? NO!!! I don't represent an Elephant or a Donkey. I am a SHEEP! I represent the KING. HE is my HOPE, I choose to trust HIM and HIM alone. How about you?

Sunday Sing-Along

Because of Election Day on Tuesday, I'm posting this song this week. This is one of my heart's desires...that GOD will still bless America, when we humble ourselves and seek HIS face and turn away from our wicked ways.

FATHER GOD in the mighty name of JESUS, I come before YOU and ask for YOUR forgiveness where we as a nation have failed YOU. Where we have allowed material possessions, pornography, abortion, murder, stealing, and so many other crimes become the norm in our country. I ask that YOU would allow people to see YOUR truth, and those of us that know better would seek YOUR face, humble ourselves and turn from our wicked ways and pray, and then according to YOUR WORD YOU will heal our land. Oh GOD it is my desire to do that.,..to seek YOUR face with all of my being, it is my desire to humble myself and be used by YOU and LORD, that others may see YOU in me. LORD, I ask that YOU would show mercy and grace to our country and forgive us and then bless us. LORD, just as Abraham approached YOU and asked YOU to save the righteous with the wicked in Genesis 18, LORD, I ask that on behalf of America now. I thank YOU that YOU are a loving and just GOD and that it is YOUR desire for us to prosper and have only good things, but I also know that we must be lovingly punished when we have done wrong. I thank YOU, FATHER for all the blessings YOU have bestowed upon me and my family. I thank YOU for all the blessings YOU have given the people of our nation. I thank YOU that YOU continue to bless us and that if you disipline it is fair and just. In JESUS' Name. AMEN

Obama's Redistribution Plan-in a nutshell...

I found this posted on a homeschool board I visit. I love it...

Yesterday on my way to lunch I passed a homeless guy with a sign that read "Vote Obama, I need the money." I laughed.
Once in the restaurant my server had on an "Obama 08" tie, again I laughed as he had given away his political preference--just imagine the coincidence.
When the bill came I decided not to tip the server and explained to him that I was exploring the Obama redistribution of wealth concept.
He stood there in disbelief while I told him that I was going to redistribute his tip to someone who I deemed more in need--the homeless guy outside.
The server angrily stormed from my sight.I went outside, gave the homeless guy $10 and told him to thank the server inside as I've decided he could use the money more.
The homeless guy was grateful.
At the end of my rather unscientific redistribution experiment I realized the homeless guy was grateful for the money he did not earn, but the waiter was pretty angry that I gave away the money he did earn even though the actual recipient deserved money more.
I guess redistribution of wealth is an easier thing to swallow in concept than in practical application.

I've voted

Yep, yesterday I cast my ballot for the presidential election.
I'm not ashame, I voted for McCain-that's what dh was saying on the way over to Houston. Did ya think I was voting for OBAMA???
