Thank you, Two Thirds.
Thank you, AFPhys. As a aniversary present I think I will register hubby. He lurks, but is not registered.
HE SHOULD REGISTER!!!
Years ago when I was thinking about getting NYS approved for my daycare, I had to attend a class. At that class I was told I could never withhold snacks as punishment, say no to a child, etc. I soon learned I wanted no part of being NYS certified.
I believe as an adult we do have certain rights that as a child we did not have.
Oops....forgot mil lives with us...guess it will have to be flannels.
:-)
Peach, call your church.....they should know a good person to contact who could help this woman.
some times god sends us stray pets and sometimes folks in need. Bless you for helping her...churches & sunday schools each year do gifts/food baskets for faceless folks in their area. How much nicer to have a real person. Often when we trust & try to help, we get decieved & taken advantage of.. but that is okay too. It is our spirit of giving, love & care in Jesus name that reflects what is good and right - not necessarily the outcome.
It would make my day if you would get him to register and post to us!
The most exciting thing I have heard about the election is that the young demographic was very evenly divided between Bush and his opponent, despite the FRAUDcasting liars, and please believe me, many of them honestly believe Bush is intending to start a draft. That lie was so effectively sold it is scary (I think something like 60% of them thought it true).
Having about 40-45% of the college age group voting for a conservative is, I believe, unprecedented since at least the '60s, and as these folks mature and their liberal friends start to realize that the socialists are still wrong about human nature, that will provide a super-solid basis for future conservative movements - I predict with great confidence (even if I'm wrong). I met quite a few young Republicans the past two weeks of campaigning, and they portend a very attractive future (and I mean physically as well as politically) for the Conservative movement. This is a great change from earlier times of my experience.
I am wondering how they are going to act when there is NO DRAFT? Will they then believe that when the President, the Vice President and Secretary Rumsfeld said emphatically that there will be NO DRAFT, they meant what they said?
You are right about how sometimes churches and individuals get taken advantage of and that this is OK because we are doing God's work in our determination to reach out to the needy. That is well and good.
But I believe, and it is very important to realize that some people have not yet learned this, if you discover that a person is routinely and unabashedly taking advantage of the situation to the point that has become a detriment to their own growth and spiritual life, God calls on us to do something even tougher than helping them: the "tough love" of telling them they must learn to do for themselves.
My thoughts are that passionate parents produced passionate kids in this election. NOrmally on same side. We had many families at headquarters doing the calling, canvassing etc.
at the presidential visits I saw the same things with the youthful Bushbots.. they all said their parents were avid supporters
yes, you are right on that point. absolutely.
180 degrees next..totally NON intellectual & really non pertinent to what really matters in life... but
I haven't been a TV watcher for many years, but I will watch something Sunday night on CBS (sorry for cussin on our family forum). The Dallas Reunion.
Years ago I watched only 2 TV shows -- on Friday night. Dallas & Falcon Crest. I did all the ironing in that time. when show was over, if the article wasn't ironed, it wasn't touched until next week. my two men were to let me know important "needs" to be done.
When I moved to Houston one of my first trips was to DFW to find Southfork. Actually when I moved to Texas in 1991 I stopped all TV. My schedule at hospital was 2(24 hr) days on & 2 off. I never got into a routine of TV & not sure I had it on for anything other than academy awards. On off days I was out to San Antonio or the beach.
So I do understand the enthusiasm some of you share with your regular shows.. Right now, I am doing other things..
Happy Anniversary! You share your day with another very special couple.
Good morning. Did you know that there was a Christian version of the Rock the Vote movement. It was known as Redeem the Vote as described in an article from Oct 19.
Evangelicals endeavor to redeem the vote
By Bill Sammon
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
President Bush's re-election campaign is getting a boost from powerful Christian groups, which are enlisting entertainers such as actor Jim Caviezel of "The Passion of the Christ" to cajole millions of evangelicals into voting.
One of the newest groups is Redeem the Vote, the religious community's answer to MTV's secular Rock the Vote. The group is touring battleground states with Christian rock groups and voter-registration drives that organizers say are putting the fear of God into Sen. John Kerry's supporters.
"This is really scaring Democrats," said Redeem the Vote founder Randy Brinson. "This is major, major news that the major media have ignored because we're not liberal."
Mr. Brinson persuaded Mr. Caviezel, the actor who portrayed Jesus in Mel Gibson's hit film, to appear in a Webcast imploring Christians to vote. Although Mr. Caviezel never explicitly endorses the president, his message is designed to remind Christians that Mr. Bush shares their opposition to abortion, judicial activism and homosexual "marriage."
"In this election year, Americans are faced with some of the most important issues in the history of our country," he said. "In order to preserve the God-given freedoms we each hold dear, it's important that we let our voices be heard."
The message is hammered home in millions of e-mails that Redeem the Vote is sending to evangelical Christians, whose names were obtained from the marketing firms that made "The Passion of the Christ" a blockbuster.
Dolly & Molly, I just recently learned this - The Ohio state motto is: "With God, all things are possible."
Just this past March 16th, Jay Sekulow of the ACLJ successfully won a court case and a 9-4 ruling that the motto was Constitutional. In 1997, former Governor George Voinovich, now a U.S. Senator, had the motto engraved in the front of the Ohio statehouse walkway in Columbus. The motto is also reportedly used on tax forms and on some official stationery. The motto was adopted in 1959 at the suggestion of a schoolboy in Cincinnati after he learned that Ohio was the only U.S. state without an official motto.
No wonder Ohio figured so vitally in this election! :-)
Needless to say, he is relieved and grateful with the outcome of the election. Myself, I am stress-free for the first time in over a year.
I figure we have about 6 months before the Rats start attacking W and the Republican Congress. I hope we can get some good legislation passed before they start in again.
Of course, I just heard Bob Beckel say that the economy is going to crash because of Bush's tax cuts. I wish Fox would can that guy.
Canning Beckel would be too good for him. He needs to be forced to sit thru 18 hrs of Rush Limbaugh lectures daily. Into Eternity.
Beckel is dispicable.
