It is more about:
- my very personal journey through codependency,
- my spiritual journey,
- how I deal with my human-ness(temptations, discouragement, doubts, fears) in the face of my desire to follow God's will and be all that I believe He wants me to be,
- my pains and heartbreaks and hopelessness in being married to a chronic relapser,
- sprinklings of stories from my childhood,
- dashes of recipes to warm your tummy and soul,
- strange insights into myself,
- a chronicle of my therapy,
- snippets of parenting/kid stories
That said, I feel that as we progress toward the election, I MUST say a few words.
I find myself NOT wanting to watch TV or read the news.
I just want it to be over and to know our fate.
I am distressed by our media's obvious bias.
I am saddened by our vote for the popular, the charismatic, and the slogan instead of the TRUTH.
I am disheartened by our country's fall from standing up for what is RIGHT.
Even so-called "Christians" are compromising and siding with people who believe it is OK to kill a baby in the 7th-9th month of pregnancy.
Where has common decency gone?
Where have our morals gone?
Where has our commitment to remembering the non-negotiables gone?
A questions has recently arisen about Obama's birth certificate.
I am not saying these concerns are true, but I am saying that IF there are legitimate concerns about ANY candidate's (from ANY party) citizenship status, wouldn't you think the candidate would want to be accountable to the American public and SHOW us that there is not ground for concern?
I asked this recently in an email and sent it out to my voting friends of all persuasions.
the reactions surprised me (although I guess they shouldn't have).
No Obama voters wanted the truth.
They all said it was a smear campaign against him.
PERIOD.
Since when did asking a QUESTION become a "smear tactic"?
I feel like we live in comunism/socialism (see definitions below) already!
Yikes!
COMMUNISM - As a political movement, communism is a more radical branch of the broader socialist movement. The communist movement differentiates itself from other branches of the socialist movement through their wish to completely do away with all aspects of market society under the final stage of the system and their focus on the international working class as key in that revolution.
FACISM - A social and political ideology with the primary guiding principle that the state or nation is the highest priority, rather than personal or individual freedoms. A political movement that believes in an extreme form of nationalism: denying individual rights, insisting upon the supremacy of the state, and advocating one-party rule with ultimate authority resting in the hands of an elite few.
SOCIALISM - An economic system in which the basic means of production are primarily owned and controlled collectively, usually by government under some system of central planning.

Well, it will all be over soon.
One way or the other.
