Al Gore is not president and George W. Bush is. That makes me happy. ;-)

I'm due with a baby boy on Dec. 8, but Monday my doctor told me he's going to induce me a week early -- because of my age and the fact that I am so BIG (with child). It's the first time in my life I was thrilled to be OLD and HUGE. :o) Our daughter will have a brother and hubby and I will have a son as well as another tax deduction. Also, I think I've talked Mr. Chip into finally buying a new sectional sofa for our family room. We're going out to shop for one tonite!

I found out that there are a lot of wonderful people across the US, and that Freepers are at the top of the list. We gripe at each other, just like any family, but when the chips are down, we stand together. Remember, you are loved. Mike

My husband bought a snow blower and some nice clothes for himself, and got them all at good sale prices.
Our tax rebate will pay for most of the snow blower.
Our 3rd grader is doing very nicely on his schoolwork, and our 1st grader just came home with 100% on his math test.
We still enjoy laughing over the Three Stooges or Captain Underpants
Our parents have all been traveling, and safely reached their destinations and home again
The fall colors are shaping up nicely, and the frogs and fish in our pond are happily winding down toward winter.
I feel better now!

From a recent Mark Steyn column:

"This week, at an anti-American demo in Dhaka, the usual excitable types jumped up and down waving giant placards bearing a montage of bin Laden portraits. When photos of the crowd were published, eagle-eyed observers noted that appearing side by side with Osama on the posters was Bert, a tufty-haired orange Muppet from Sesame Street who's usually paired, not with Osama, but with his fellow felt-head, Ernie. How did Bert get on a gazillion pro-Osama posters? It seems the great terrorist's supporters downloaded images of their hero from the internet and failed to notice that one was from a spoof "Bert Is Evil" site that puts up doctored images of the irascible Muppet with Adolf Hitler, O J Simpson, etc.

CC, my dear, whenever you feel frightened of our enemies, despairing at the idea of trying to conquer the forces that menace us, re-read the above quote and keep in mind that this is the kind of brainpower we're up against.

I had a great day today. My hubby and I thought we were the only ones out there (kinda like a movie script), until we found everyone here at FR. Have you ever tried mapping a road trip trying to stay in FR country(friendly areas)?

God is real and cares for us.

Through the way we live and fight and maybe even die, there is hope, love, and joy

The good news is the GOOD NEWS.
I'm happy that among all of this despair
that I have peace knowing God is in control
and that Christ knows our suffering because
He suffered and died for us.

The day of the Twin Towers incident, I randomly
pointed to a place in the Bible and surprisingly
it said exactly what I needed.

Ephesians 6:10-18

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.

11 Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your
stand against the devil's schemes.

12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but
against the rulers, against the authorities, against the
powers of this dark world and against the spiritual
forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the
day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your
ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.

14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around
your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,

15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes
from the gospel of peace.

16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith,
with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit,
which is the word of God.

18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of
prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and
always keep on praying for all the saints.

I wiped out a deer on my way to work this morning. I missed the first, got the second. The good thing? I was able to drive my car into town although not home. But I was not stuck out along the highway in the dark. My insurance company had a loaner for me waiting when I got home and had my car towed home. Was in for therapy on my back and neck yesterday. Could not make the appointment today. However, as I stopped boy did I stop, and the neck sort of went with the flow I don't feel as bad as I did going to work before the sudden stop. My point being what could have been much worse was not so bad all in all. To me that is positive. I wish that was the most serious thing going on.

We were just given a BOSE WAVE radio as a gift. That's as good as it gets.
