Hey Shauna's alive!! haha

Preface: I totally agree with your preface. Like I told my cousin who told me I was vain for blogging, "It's my choice to click, and my choice to read everyday".

You're too funny Shauna, the reason I even thought of posting politics that night was because I read Jon Carlson's blog!

I guess I will be held to that comment for the rest of my life now.. Oh wait, i'm beginning to know what its like to be a politician!!

To answer a few questions.

Yes, I'm above most taxes, but not all-

No, I do not have a DNR-

Yes, I drive, I obey most but not all of the laws-

Yes, I buy electricity-

My trash? I pay my sister to take it out! :)

back atcha-
Do you believe that voting for president (at least this term) is choosing the lesser of two evils?

Do you believe that by voting you are supporting the actions of the candidate?

Does that mean when you don't comment, you do agree? Wow, we have so much in common! haha

ok, ok, just three for you!

btw, you really ranted there!!

For the record: Anyone who knows me somewhat, knows that I do discuss politics alot and they know that I discuss them alot at work. So for anyone who is informed they would have caught on that it was a comment of humor!

Chow4Now!!

btw, I am one of healthy disagreement.. that one just got me more in shape.. but I almost blew my knee out on the stairmaster paragraph.

My hope is in the Lord Who gave Himself for me,
And paid the price for all my sin at Calvary.
No merit of my own His anger to suppress,
My only hope is found in Jesus' righteousness.
And now for me He stands before the Father's throne,
He shows His wounded hands, and names me as His own.
His grace has planned it all, It's mine but to believe,
And recognize His work of love and Christ receive!

Recognize that? How many of you skipped to the bottom?!

Anyone who calls themselves a Christian should believe that old hymn is true!

Also they could lay their life on the altar of sacrifice and die with Christ and then be raised to a life that is new and different from the old sin life! New and different from the world.. If they can't tell the difference from us and the world.. somethings wrong, right? I think it's time that we, as Christians, practiced "Radical Amputation" of the things that we KNOW are no in God's will! Put it this way, would Jesus do it with us? Would Jesus buy it too? Would Jesus listen to that music, would He watch that film? If we said no to any of those questions but then make an excuse that for some reason it's still ok for us to do.. We obviously aren't following Jesus Christ, to follow in His footsteps is to do as he would do if He were here! Would he pop pills or pray for healing, would he sue or pray for, would he borrow or pray for provisions, would he listen to music with unchristian themes or bad language or would he smash it as he did the money changers tables in the temple?? The answers are pretty obvious.. Now, are we Christians or do we like the benefits of calling ourselves, going through the motions but still living as the world??? It's truth time!

"I need no other argument, I need no other plea, It is enough that Jesus died, And the He died for me"

He died for me, I'll live for Him !!

Whew, ok, its been three days since I last blogged.. seems like a long time.. but then again.. I think I blog more than any of the other blogs I read. I'll give myself an award! But then again, maybe that means I have nothing to do.

Felt like crap all weekend and so far this week! Yippee, right? Right now I feel like im six feet outside of my own body! kinda like euphoric or something. But I won't go into details about how im not feeling well cause I really dont thinka anyone wants to hear it! But to say the least it was kinda cool beside that fact that I felt like i was going to die! I lost my smell, I lost my taste, and I feel like i've been using a straw and a razor blade for a week!

Working on updating my website learning new stuff like what CSS files are and what they do. That is definitely interesting stuff!

NO....NO.. to discuss politics means you are mentally disturbed and have too much free time!

Ahhhh,, sleep time! Maybe I feel better tomorrow!

When we become aquainted with a person, after a while I think that we subconsciously make assumptions and have expectations of that person. We sometime make them feel obligated or we feel they are obligated to act in a certain way or do a certain thing. And when they do not, we are offended. Although this person has their own personality and life, for some reason we feel that they have an obligation to meet on our end. Not to mention that with the amount of aquaintances that each person may have, it would seem pretty absurd to have one person be obligated to each of them. That is why each person is born with the irrevokable power of choice!

I need zzz's!

Most critical 4 years!

As parents, we choose to have children and therefore we are obligated to sacrifice almost everything in our life to raise, teach and protect...
