BTW, Dr. Mercola has had so many hits already on this article, just posted today, that it is apparently getting locked up frequently. If you can't read it now, make a note to check back later. It is an excellent article from a doctor who isn't sold out to the pharmaceutical companies, and it gives a great perspective on vaccinations and this "pandemic" that has literally killed fewer people than random strikes of lightning.
The week before Jason's scheduled time off, 2 storms ripped through our neighborhood in 1 weekend. So, my hardworking husband has given up his long coveted vacation to roof our house. He has never roofed a house alone before, but true to his pioneer spirit, he just jumped right in. It has been a joint effort, with many family, friends, and neighbors lending a hand.
Sis cleaning out gutters
KK on the roof removing nails
Gran and the kids and I picked up shingles (and Poppie cut the grass too!)
Jason removing the old shingles
Our brother-in-law Kevin took a day off work to help
Paw-Paw (still suffering from falling off a ladder helping someone else a few years ago!) loaded up on pain medicine and insisted on helping
Our neighbor Kenneth brought over his forklift to help get the 90-lb shingle bundles from the ground to the roof
Our good friend Travis took 1/2 day off work on Friday and gave up his Saturday to pitch in during the hottest part of the week!
I can't imagine how hot it was on that roof!
Our neighbor Blake brought over his bulldozer to clean up some of the mess
Jason's hunting buddy Clint even came over and plowed up the garden for Jason
Even though everyone has been busy and working hard, we did manage to squeeze in some fun!
(Rosebud looking out the glass door at the big kids with water guns)
And Nanna even rounded us up a new little Kitten, "Dixie"
The Lord has blessed us with favorable weather and held off the rain. He taught Jason how to roof, and also gave us favor with the insurance company who had previously slighted us about needing a new roof. He has blessed us with safety, and also that blessed feeling that comes when you receive much-needed help from family and friends. "Blessed be the name of the Lord from this time forth and for evermore." Ps. 113:2
Today is National Protest a _________(something) Day. There is a group of people who have been planning for months to set aside April 13 as a day to protest something that they claim is a great injustice to society.
Let's see....could it be....
child abuse?
or world hunger?
maybe homelessness?
racism?
government tyranny?
illiteracy?
No, unfortunately these and many other of society's "injustices" will go unprotested today, while the Feminist Majority Foundation, and all its college campus chapters have decided to protest crisis pregnancy centers today. They're uniting to stand against the evil forces who offer pregnancy tests, support, parenting classes, adoption referrals, accurate information, baby clothes and supplies, maternity clothes, diapers, formula....ALL FOR FREE! The nerve!
Now, let's just be honest here. What kind of shameless 20-something young woman stands out on the street and screams, "I want my birth control!"? (I heard one foul-mouthed heathen comedian say that he knew where to pick up women....at pro-choice rallies....Draw your on conclusions!) We're not exactly talking about the moral foundation of our society here. Of course, when you devote your life to the assault and murder of little unborn babies, I guess manners and common decency automatically take a back seat.
I can't really refute what these women are saying in this video above, because hardly a word of it is true. CPCs are not "fake" as their campaign charges. They do not advertise falsely. At our CPC , it states all over everything...every form, every advertisement, every brochure, that we are not a medical clinic and do not perform or refer for abortions. They claim that we are funded by millions of taxpayer dollars. Nevermind that $250 million of Planned Parenthood's $766 million annual income came from the government, courtesy of you and me!
First of all, it is true that under President Bush's Faith Based Initiative program, some money has been set aside for crisis pregnancy centers. As of 2006, 50 of the more than 3,000 U.S. centers had accepted money. The total for all grants from 2001-2006, a 5 year period, was under $60 million. Hardly even close to rivaling Planned Parenthood.
Secondly, LMO and the vast majority of all CPC's do not and WOULD NOT take any federal money. Our center is funded by churches and our community. Our annual budget is around $30-35,000. Our volunteers are overworked. The 2 paid staff we have work for practically nothing. And just for the record, both of them volunteered for years until our board was able to offer them what amounts to a small love offering for their weekly commitments to keep the center open. I guarantee you that no Planned Parenthood employees would sacrifice what our volunteers give. Our volunteers do it because they love young women and unborn babies and the Lord Jesus Christ. Not filthy lucre.
I wish, for the sake of accurate reporting, that I could post some of the protests that pro-aborts stage against pro-lifers. Unfortunately, I will not compromise my audience with the kind of foul language and lasciviousness that accompanies these protests. But I do want to share with you one story that has truly touched me. Please take time to read the full story of Paster Walter Hoye , a true American and Christian hero. He has just been released from jail, after serving a short sentence for standing across from an abortion clinic with a sign that reads, "Jesus loves you and your baby. Let us help." Christians, Americans, Patriots, you should be appalled at the unfair treatment of this man. When you watch the video below, you will be screaming, "Where is the First Amendment???!!!!"
Do you see what is happening? This is surveillance video that was used by the court to send him to jail. He is peacefully walking down the sidewalk with his sign, while PP workers are constantly walking alongside of him, covering up his sign with their blank sign every time a car or person passes by. AND THE PASTOR GOT ARRESTED???AND WENT TO JAIL????
Today, I'm calling on all my Christian brothers and sisters to please pray for crisis pregnancy centers all over America. They are probably the most effective pro-life witness we have in this deluded culture today. They provide a haven for young women in crisis who are being hunted down by money-hungry abortionists. It's a place where they can hear the gospel of our Lord Jesus, and receive love and support throughout the pregnancy and afterwards. It's a place where they can hear the TRUTH, something that is hard to find these days.
"Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils, And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters......and the land was polluted with blood. Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions. Therefore the wrath of the Lord kindled against his people....And he gave them into the land of the heathen, and they that hated them ruled over them......Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him.....and were brought low for their iniquity." Psalm 106:37-43
We're steaming mad and boiling over at the government taking our money!
We're T.E.A.'d!
Taxed
Enough
Already!
My family is hooked on the BBC production of Robin Hood. Man, is he cool! He "robs from the rich to give to the poor", as they say. Now, I'm not advocating highway robbery, but the circumstances of Robin Hood's deeds was somewhat different than traditional thievery. He was actually returning the money to the poor (they weren't poor until they were over-taxed!), that had been stolen from them by the government elite through unfair taxation.
It seems we have a modern day Robin Hood in the White House, or at least he got elected on that platform.
"A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul." -
George Bernard Shaw
What is so tragically ironic about the above quote, is that George Bernard Shaw was a member of the Fabian Society, an intellectual movement that advocates socialism by evolution, not revolution. What that means in plain terms is, government seizure of your property (which is the key foundation and goal of socialism/communism) not by violent takeover, but by slow, gradual means of regulation,inflation, and taxation (ALL 3 OF WHICH ARE UNCONSTITUTIONAL!) .
George Bernard Shaw, and others like him including Barack Obama (or should I say "Comrade Obama"), know all too well, that if you promise the ignorant masses a free ride, they'll jump in and hang on even at the cost of their personal freedoms. Is it any wonder that Obama overwhelmingly carried the vote of first time voters, voters under age 30, college students, and immigrants? Those who largely don't own property and have contributed nothing to the economy? These people need their own version of Robin Hood! Enter the hero.....But this hero is kind of like a person who takes your money and buys someone else a wonderful birthday present with it. He gives the gift, gets the love and appreciation, but it wasn't his to give!
Fellow Americans, we may lose this battle, but we don't have to go down without a fight! Our founding fathers pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to pass down this heritage of liberty to us. The least we can do is speak up and defend it! Even if you can't attend a rally, let your voice be heard. It's the American thing to do!!
We've been watching chicks hatch in the incubator all weekend. Every few hours, another "peep, peep" can be heard. It is truly amazing. It doesn't matter if you're watching a chick hatch from an egg, a butterfuly emerge from its cocoon, a kitten being born, or a baby making his/her entrance into the world...new life always points us to The Creator.
"I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well." Psalm 139:14
“Education is the most powerful ally of Humanism, and every American public school is a school of Humanism. What can the theistic Sunday Schools, meeting for an hour once a week, and teaching only a fraction of the children, do to stem the tide of a five-day program of humanistic teaching?”
