This talk got me thinking. Am I raising my boys to grow up to be “mom” dependant? Am I teaching them that it is okay to not take the lead and that the woman in the house will do everything for them?

Now, I know that the whole talk was on marriage, but why would a married man have this attitude, if it didn’t start when he was young and at home.

Boy that was a wakeup call. I don’t know exactly what my plan of attack is, but I know that I want to raise strong young men who are leaders. Only with God’s help and of course the leading and insight from my husband will this be possible.

Children are a blessing, but it takes a lot of hard work. Our children are worth it, though. I can’t imagine life without them.

President Obama didn’t disappoint. Well, actually it is quite sad, because he said lie after lie after lie. This is our President, people. This just isn’t acceptable. Not for one minute.

He talked about himself over and over again. Then he would bash President Bush for the mess he left him in charge of only to follow that up with a token sentence on the Constitution. Then we would be back to pushing his progressive agenda. Then he would align himself with President Kennedy and Reagan. Excuse me; you have got to be kidding me!

The speech was full of arrogance and not so subtle jabs.

President Obama had the audacity to reprimand the justices and all they could do is just sit there and take it and listen to the congressmen applaud Obama’s remarks. If you watched carefully, though, you would have seen honest reaction from Justice Alito when he shook his head and said “that’s not true”.

Our President is completely out of control in my mind, but in his own mind this is all part of his plan. We aren’t stupid. We see through all of the double talk. We know what is true and what isn’t. We are tired of hearing the whining about what was inherited. We’re tired of the bullying tactics.

Progressives have tried the same things over and over and over. They don’t work.

This speech was full of lies, “campaign” promises, blame, hate, anger, reprimanding, but if you listened carefully you would hear an overlying consistency; government is the answer to all problems, people who make money are the problem and the rest of us are all stupid and in need of government help.

I could go on and on about the content of the speech, but it can all be summed up in one word or maybe two: Progressive Liar. Just keeping it simple.

Tiger, I hope you got the message. People do care about you. Jesus cares even more. You won’t find that anywhere else or from anything else.

The context of this passage takes place after the great flood. Noah and his family, along with all of the animals have left the ark. Noah has built an altar and made a sacrifice to the Lord. God was pleased with Noah and said the following.

“I will never again curse the earth, destroying all living things, even though people’s thoughts and actions are bent toward evil from childhood. As long as the earth remains, there will be springtime and harvest, cold and heat, winter and summer, day and night.” (Genesis 8:21-22)

You can’t get any clearer than that.

For those who put their trust and faith in the Lord, this is comforting and freeing. For those who are searching these words will hopefully make them think, and unfortunately for those who want nothing to do with God, they will only fight it, deny it, or run. In my simple and common sense way of thinking and doing, I just say, God said it, I believe it, case closed. God’s Word has always stood the test and it will in this case too.

So do you really want to believe all of the Global Warming hype led by people who don’t even follow their own advice and get rich off of this joke, or will you realize contrary to world belief, God is still in control and always will be?

This president isn’t for changing who he is, he is for changing who America is. When people truly change their belief system, you know by their actions and who they hang around with. Do you think Obama is willing to gut his whole administration and friends?

Absolutely not!  He is a Progressive.

He thinks that the only way to take care of problems is to grow the government bigger, because they are the only smart ones who can make things brighter in the world.  Progressives believe that it is all of us “stupid” people who are getting in the way.

So don’t buy into this centrist approach he might be eloquently waxing tomorrow evening. It’s just talk to distract the weak. Be strong, people. Use common sense. Don’t lose track of what is important and don’t play into the Progressives hands.

Call a spade a spade, as I tell my children all the time. He is what he is and he absolutely knows what he is up to; intentionally transforming America into a Progressive Utopia.

I have to be honest and sincere. It does matter to me what people do in their private lives, because what they do in the house effects what they will do and how they will act outside their private lives. It is just the facts. There is no getting around it.

So yes, I do care what you do in the privacy of your house. In a broad sense, that is. No, I am not going door to door checking up on my neighbors or family. But we do need to care.

We need to care that many men and now women are looking at pornography in the privacy of their homes and it is effecting how they relate in the outside world. Many a rape, incest, molestation, murder case can be linked to the addiction of pornography. To not such an extreme, this addiction is breaking up families, which in turn hurts children, which effects how they function in life.

This is just one example of how what we do in the privacy of our homes does matter. I can’t turn my back on what is going on. I have to stand up for what I believe in. I have to stand up for what is right.

Am I going door to door condemning my neighbors? No. But, I can’t say that I won’t speak up when given the opportunity and I certainly, at the very least, must be honest with myself and true to my God, that I do care what others do. To say that I don’t care, would be to say I really don’t care about humanity.

So, to anyone who says that they don’t care what others do as long as they don’t push it on them, I ask you to really think it through. I understand where you are coming from, but if we are truly honest, we do care. When something is wrong, it is wrong; inside the house or outside.

We must stop the political correctness and stand up for what is right.

When tragedies like this happen, you expect to hear from your President. The families and the nation deserve it and that is just what you do as a compassionate human being.

Well, our President, who was at some Native American conference, got up in front of them and for two plus minutes, didn’t even mention the murders. He talked about the great conference and gave the group he was addressing promises for the future. All the while, the nation is waiting for him to address the horrible murder rampage in Texas.

What is up with this. Where are your priorities President Obama? Could you not address the tragedy first, seeing as you were on live TV around the nation? You owe the families of the victims an apology, in my opinion. They come first, before your agenda.

Life isn’t about you, President Obama. Our great men and women who protect our country for our freedom are not back page stories. They should have been number one on your mind. What an embarrassment.

May we lift up the military families today and always. My prayers are with the victims’ families and for those who were wounded. And may we all remember and honor the young woman who stopped this madman. Praise God for her and all the military men and women who responded during this rampage.

I thought that I had seen it all until I was watching The Biggest Loser on NBC the other night. I knew that they were shooting this episode in Washington D.C., but I was hoping that it wouldn’t be full of praise and worship of our president. It was, though.

Why? Why do we think that we need to elevate him above all? If the viewer didn’t know better, you would think that the Obama family was the only healthy eating first family in history. I don’t remember the exact words, but the trainers were “giddy” over the fact that this first family was such a great role model for the rest of the world by how they took care of and promoted great health. I didn’t know that smoking cigarettes qualified as healthy? I didn’t know that lying and corruption were a part of a healthy lifestyle, either?

Have you noticed that many of the television shows have the characters or participants showing the importance of volunteering? I have no problem with volunteerism. I volunteer at my children’s schools and at our church. What I have a problem with is other people telling me that we need to do it. The government telling me I need to do it. That isn’t how volunteerism works. People have volunteered just fine without the help of government and star power.

These are just a couple of examples of his agenda push. There are so many more. The president loves to see and hear his name. This is all a part of his master plan. Power can do some evil things if gone unchecked and unchallenged. Unfortunately that is what this administration wants and that is what they will have unless we speak up and act.

So NBC, CBS, and ABC, let the Biggest Loser and all the other shows be what they are supposed to be—entertainment not propaganda.

Our middle child broke down in bed last night. He was distraught, as much as an 11 year old boy can be. He told me that he didn’t enjoy school, because children were just mean. He just didn’t feel like he had any friends. He gave the impression that it was almost impossible to make friends. His heart was breaking. I could tell he wanted to say more, but he just didn’t know how to communicate it.

As a mom, I just want to hold him and tell him it will all be okay. I want to be a fly at school and see just how horrible it is and what exactly it is that makes it hard to make friends. I want to protect. At the same time I want to give him the chance to become a wise young man who realizes that friends come and go and that when all is said and done, God is our only true blue Friend.

I am so grateful that my son opened up, as little as it may have been. It is imperative that we create a safe haven for our children in this tough world. We don’t want to push our children to seek out others or destructive habits to fulfill their desire to belong. When our children feel safe, they can endure the hard times.

This safe place starts with a solid foundation and that can only be found in Christ. My husband and I must make sure that our children know their Creator and His love for them. Then they must be able to see Christ in us. Then and only then will they be able to make it through all the difficult times that will come their way.

Parents, your children need you—at every stage of life. We must make our homes a soft place to land.
It’s tough being a kid.

Home should be a retreat to which children
can return in triumph or defeat, in victory
or disgrace, and know they are loved.

There are things that surround me every day that I do not agree with and that I don’t want my children exposed to. What do I do when I am bombarded by this stuff? Well, I run the other way. I teach my children the difference between right and wrong and I surround myself with the things that matter.

We live in a great country, but so many are intent on destroying what makes this great land of the free just that, free. We must stand up and not back down. God did not say to stand idly by and allow others to steal our freedom. We must stand up for the innocent and we must stand up for the truth.

Thank goodness for many American citizens who are willing to do just that.

What has happened to America that we could get this far. Is nothing sacred anymore?
