Senator Obama was giving his opinion on abstinence-only education at a recent town hall meeting in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, when he said: "Look, I got two daughters -- nine years old and six years old. I am going to teach them first about values and morals, but if they make a mistake, I don't want them punished with a baby. I don't want them punished with an STD at age 16." Punishment? Well, I guess I wouldn't go that far. I would say it's consequence f...
I got a warning today from my husband's accounting firm. There seems to be a bogus email going around by a Tim Johnson at an IRS.gov address. DON'T OPEN IT! IT'S A VIRUS. That's it...you can go back to your regularly scheduled JU events.
"I have said and will continue to say that they have every right to choose that lifestyle and I will defend their right to do so," (Sally) Kern told the homosexual blog "Pam's House Blend. "But I do not have to agree with it and speaking against it is not hate speech." So said Sally at a rally in her honor at the Oklahoma's state Capitol yesterday. Thousands showed up in support. What a tremendous message and encouragment for her. If I lived nearby I would have ...
We have yet another ridiculous argument which has now gone to litigation in the school system. No wonder the parents are homeschooling their kids in droves these days. Have we lost our minds? A Wisconsin school system is facing a lawsuit because a high school teacher gave a student a zero on an art project because the student had a picture of a cross in it. At least the kid did the work! Golly! How many kids are even doing the work nowadays?&nb...
Some more interesting news today. Some of this got me to thinking....some to laughing, some I'm happy about; some not so happy, but thought all was interesting to share.... a few blurbs from today's news. Gore is in Panic Mode: British environmental analyst Christopher Monckton says Gore is panicking because of the latest attack by global warming skeptics. Monckton said: "The alarmists are alarmed, the panic mongers are panicking, the scare...
Amanda sent me this tonight from Fox News. I thought it was pretty interesting. Any thoughts? A clay tablet that has baffled scientists for 150 years has been identified as a witness's account of the asteroid suspected of being behind the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. Researchers who cracked the cuneiform symbols on the Planisphere tablet believe that it recorded an asteroid thought to have been more than half a mile across. The tablet, foun...
Much has been written here and elsewhere about OKlahoma State Rep Sally Kern and her blatent honesty of her belief on the Homosexual lifestyle. She dared speak out. Shame on her. But did you know the rest of the story? Many know and are angry (especially you know who) about her comments on how the "Homosexuality Agenda is destroying the nation" and is a bigger threat to our country than the Islamic Terrorists. How many know her speech was not o...
Have you heard about the Doomsday Vault? I read about it in the paper a week or so ago. It's basically a seed bank or vault built to last 10,000 years and is situated near the North Pole. It's the coldest place they could find and they call it officially the Svalbard Global Seed Vault. This vault is located in a place ( I'm not kidding) called Longyearbyen. It's part of a series of Islands with a temperature of 30 below zero. I...
I think I'm starting to understand how Jonah felt when God told him to go to Nineveh and he ran in the opposite direction. California is in the news again. If God told me to go to California, I'm sure I'd be questioning him, thinking I was hearing wrong. I would never want to live in California. It seems that a librarian in California was fired from her job for reporting a library patron downloading child pornography on the computers. M...
Did you hear this one? Ohhhhh you have to hear this. How stupid can one be ...........expecting us to be as stupid as she? It seems as tho a 37 year old lawyer and TV commentator has a bit of a problem. She is a compulsive gambler and now she's suing the casinos for racketeering; for separating her from her mooola! Yep. She's chasing another long-shot. Gotta give her credit. She's consistent and persistent. It seems she started out a...
I recenly wrote about the new Domestic Partnership tax law in California along with a bill Governor Arnold signed into effect recently regarding homosexual teaching in the school system. Did you hear the very latest? Judges in the Californial Court of Appeal system have deemed it unconstitutional for parents to homeschool. Parents have NO legal right to homeschool their children in CA. This is going to put thousands of parents and children up against the Court s...
We have alot of Missionaries we support and pray for. One in particular we've never met but had been getting updates on, from our Associate Pastor back home, was from Kabul, Afghanistan. She had been living and working there knowing the language and dressing in the required burqa. The following is his last and very disturbing update on this woman missionary: Dear VCC Family, Although the reports have not been confirmed, we sadly want to inform you that we be...
There's now a new tax law for Registered Domestic Partners (RDP). It reads: Effective for taxable years beginning on or after January 1,2007, RDPs under CA law must file their California income tax returns using either the married/RDP filing jointly or married/RDP filing separately filing status. RDPs will have the same legal benefits, protections, and responsibilities as married couples unless otherwise specified. For purposes of California income tax, references to a spous...
These days I have been so glad to have made the choice to move South. It is so nice down here and knowing what I left behind, weather wise, makes it that much sweeter. Everyone tells us we got out just in time. Many are making plans on coming to see us. They are just sick of all this snow. Lately, we've been getting lots of phone calls and pictures over the net from friends and family back home. They are enduring a tough winter. Actually it's been pre...
With all this talk about us evoloving around here....I'm not seeing it. It ain't happening. Has anyone else noticed all the multiple shootings lately? Doesn't it seem to be getting more and more frequent? I know for a fact I didn't grow up with this kind of violence. I still remember the murder of a little boy in my home state in 1982 that had us all in shock. Now it's an everyday occurance. It's so common now I'm afraid we're getting numb to it. Don't get me wrong, I'm not ...
