An Amazing Day........

My friends with grandchildren kept telling me how amazing it is...........
I (in my usual way) decided to wait on the decision........but I have to say
THAT THEY WERE RIGHT!!

Seeing your child's child is one of the most amazing experiences.
I am in love in a whole different way......the awe and mystery of meeting a whole new human being. Someone who did not exist this time last year is in our family.
God is so amazing........he is so creative. I am looking forward to getting to know my new love.
I am sure more will follow...............

I will pray for Barak Obama

Well, America has chosen.
While I risk coming across as a bigot and a redneck, I must admit that I am disappointed in the choice. NOT because he is black ( or half-black) but because he is not opposed to taking the life of the unborn. Because he has the audacity to say "that decision is above my pay-grade" when asked if life begins at conception. C'mon, really? When did his amazing daughters come to "life"? At what moment did they become his children? 4 days? 12 weeks? 6 months?
More than 3000 babies are killed every day in America. What if that were soldiers in Iraq or Afghanistan? Do you think the media would stand for that? The press would be screaming for an end to the genocide! But we will all answer for this choice......

I believe that America has lost it's compass. I will continue to pray. I will also pray for Barak Obama. He will need it, he has no idea what he has gotten himself into........

Pumpkin Carving Day

I love fall.........
I love the cooler weather. I love the change in colors and decorations. I love that the holidays are soon here.
We have lots of fall traditions, sometimes I think that we are going to outgrow them, but I am always reminded that the kids need them. It is continuity for them in a changing world. I love that Mikey still wants to carve with us.

I am really anxious about the election. I know that God is in control of all things, even the nations. But I am afraid for our country and the direction it is heading. Scooter is confident that God is going to cause a miracle and show the media who is REALLY the influencer of minds and hearts in our country. I am praying he is right........
Pray for America!
