Life's Speed Bumps

Although there are things happening in Washington that I'd love to go on about, I can't right now, and I hope you'll all be here when I get back.

We've had a freak accident that took the life of my younger brother on Thursday, and I can't seem to wrap my brain around anything harder than brushing my teeth at the moment.

I know with all my heart that he is having a joyous reunion with beloved family members; my Testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is sure, my compass points True North. However, my heart and my head don't seem to be speaking the same language lately, and I need to not think about politics for a week or so.

So have a Happy Groundhog Day--usually a day to at least bake cookies or something right?

Besides, with the way things are going in D.C., not much will have changed, and it might be like we haven't missed a week chatting about it.

See you soon.

Founding Fathers Rejoice

Here is an article I'd like to share this morning. Some will dismiss it because it's from a Fox News opinion writer, but that would be a mistake. The author brings up some really good points favoring the "little guy," which the left claims to champion.
I'm not saying that we are out of the woods on this particular issue, I can see potential problems with a company like GM donating money to a candidate. However, we as "the People" have been lazy over the last generation, and have let advertisments (money) sway our decisions. It's our job, our obligation to do the work to vet a candidate ourselves; an issue ourselves. There may be oodles of money floating around, but we need to take a hard look, and only vote for someone who shares our values and our goals as closely as possible.

We also need to be very, very concerned when a sitting president threatens the Supreme Court. Socialism will not stand for dissent, the opposition will be vilified at all costs, and eliminated if possible. Be watchful.

Please read the article, the link is below.

Massachusetts Miracle

I know the vote is over, I know the miracle occured, but I found this video tonight, that actually brought tears to my eyes.
I have such love for George Washington, for the other Founding Fathers, that the message here went straight to my heart.

Pray for more miracles in the coming weeks and months, the Lord wants to help, but we have to ask.

The End of Camelot

Well, the people of MA have spoken, and they have united their voices in opposition to the Marxists in the White House, and also to the communist who had held their state seat for over 40 years. I can only say Hallelujah!

However, let's not delude ourselves and think that Scott Brown is "The Answer." We don't know the man well enough yet, and anyone who poses nude is suspect to me. That being said, he seems conservative, genuinely so.

We, many of us, have prayed for redress, and there is the hope that Scott Brown is the first answer of many to those prayers. We must keep up the fight however, this is only one election, and it's very early in the 2010 election year to rest on our laruels; please don't become complacent, thinking that you can rest because there is enough outrage out there without you; It's not true! We need every Patriot, every soccer mom, every security mom, and all the dads too, to continue to speak up and fight back.

I was watching Fox's Neil Cavuto this afternoon before leaving the house, and he had on Billionaire Mort Zuckerman. Mr. Zuckerman was an Obama voter, who now has come to understand we've been duped, and that Obama has it all wrong. The article link is here for your perusal; enjoy, and remember to pray for more miracles for and in behalf of our Republic.

Constitution Web Seminar

My dad just called me with news that Hillsdale College is offering a "Constitution Townhall" on Saturday January 30th. It is a free web seminar, and I would encourage everyone out there to listen, or to sign up so you can listen to the archived version.
I won't be able to be online to listen, as I have a baby shower to attend for my newest grand daughter. I will be listening to the archive however.

If you are interested, or would just like more information, go to Hillsdale College . The title they have there is "Reviving the Constitution."

Constitutional Integrity

A quote from Ronald Reagan:

"I have long believed there was a divine plan that placed this land here to be found by a people of a special kind and that we have a rendezvous with destiny. Yes, there is a spirit moving in this land and a hunger in the people for a spiritual revival. If the task I seek should be given me, I would pray only that I could perform it in a way that would serve God."

I love what President Reagan says, but my belief turns into knowledge because of the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ.
I know that this land was under divine protection until such a time as it could be found by those special people, guided by the hand of the Lord, that Reagan talked about. We are the posterity of those people, and we have a solemn responsibility to act in such a way that this country is protected from those who would continue to take us off of the Constitutional path; as you know, nothing happening in D.C. right now is Constitutional.
The Marxists seek power, and for too long we have let them take it, apparently under the notion that “someone else” will stand up, speak up, or what-have-you.

The time has come that each of us must be that “someone else”; no longer can we sit back and rely on others to take up the slack. If we continue to do so, our country will be unrecognizable within five years; already it’s not the country our Founding Fathers gave us, it’s time to regain what we’ve lost.

This last week, I’ve posted video clips from Judge Andrew Napolitano, talking and teaching about the Constitution. It’s time for each of us to talk it and teach it as well. Get yourselves a pocket Constitution from the National Center for Constitutional Studies...www.nccs.org; buy a few extra, and start carrying them with you to hand out when the subject comes up-and believe me, you can make it come up fairly easily [VBG].

I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again, we must speak up, we must speak out, and we must get involved. I know that the Constitution is a divine document, and we must not let the Adversary bring it down, and continue to marginalize it.

Be fearless. Be bold. Question what is happening in Washington, and check it against the Constitution; again and again if necessary.

I’m not sure in the end those in Washington will listen, but when the time comes, you will be armed with the truth, and nothing is stronger than that.
Hopefully then we can, all of us, bring this country back to the path we are meant to be on.

The Constitution and Freedom Part 5

As we finish this week of "lessons" from Judge Napolitano, I wonder, are those who need to understand the Constitution even paying attention?

Please, learn the Constitution and the Bill of Rights; make an effor to understand them. Teach the principles to your children and discuss current events with them, all through the lens of the Constitution. It's the only way this next generation of promise has any hope of learning the truth, the Public Schools aren't going to do it.

The Constitution and Freedom From Fox Nation

This is a two part story on the Constitution from Judge Napolitano. I love his common sense approach to what is and what is not Constitutional, and this is no different. It's about 15 minutes total. The link says "Part 2", but they are both on the same page.
