I was not too happy to see the auto industry standing in line for ther bailout.    After living the good life for quite a while and not being prepared for the rainy day they were found wanting.  Imagine that.  Well get in line.  There are laws of reaping and sowing and now comes the harvest.  You always pick what you plant.  The first law of reaping and sowing is you always reap what you sow.  The second law is you always reap ...

My Dad turns 70 next week.  I can't remember ever seeing him on his birthday.  His passion is hunting.  So right now he's in his rustic but warm cabin deep in the Maine woods.  Sometimes my brother and/or my uncle and cousin go up for a few days to keep my Dad company.  Hunting is a family tradition in our home that is quickly dying out I'm afraid.  Ever since I can remember the month of November has been set aside for hunting.  My dad, his brot...

Change.  Obama's mantra these last few months.    But nobody really knows what this change is all about.  His picking of his VP and that of his cabinet so far hasn't brought about any change that I'm aware of.  So where's the change?  The military has been warned.  Change is coming.  The IRS and accountants have been warned.  Change is coming.  But nobody knows exactly what this change entails.  So we're all waiting for chang...

I have a new friend Pete.  He's married to one of my new gal pals I hang out with here in sunny Florida.   I read this today and thought of Pete.  So Pete, here you go.   Especially for you!       "The man who doesn't read good books has no advantage over the man who can't read them"  Mark Twain 

  Whether we voted for Obama or not we should be on our knees daily praying for him and our nation.  Scripture says we are to pray for our enemies and our leaders.   I believe, as Christians,  we need to pray harder than ever.  This was sent to me by a friend and I agree wholeheartedly that this is what we need to do.    1. Pray for Obama's protection. We already know that some weird, neo-Nazi fanatics in Tennessee plotted to kill Sen....

If Obama is not a Muslim and he says he's not.  Why is he being called the Messiah by the head of Islam?   When was the last time we had a President called a Messiah?  Anyone?  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ha5HEc-vOJs

Hopefully Obama looks at these results and realizes that the country may have elected him President, but they are still in favor of "conservative" values especially when it comes to the definition of marriage:   Arizona, California, and Florida all voted to ban homosexual marriage (thats 100% of the states where this type of vote was on the ballot).  Yay Florida!  Nebraska voted to end affirmitive action (Colorado is still a toss up).   Unfortunately you can n...

When I was in church Sunday the Pastor read a cute well-known saying before his sermon.  Perhaps you're familiar with it?  I didn't think much of it until I got it again later as an email.  So I thought I'd share remembering always that it is God who puts the Kings in their places.        Top 10 Predictions No Matter Who Wins the election 1. The Bible will still have all the answers. 2. Prayer will still work. 3. The Hol...

by Jack Wheeler:  The O-man, Barack Hussein Obama , is an eloquently tailored  empty suit. No resume, no accomplishments, no experience, no original ideas, no understanding of how the economy works, no understanding of how the world works, no balls, nothing but abstract, empty rhetoric devoid of real substance.    He has no real identity. He is half-white, which he rejects. The rest of him is mostly Arab, which he hides...

We went to see the movie "Fireproof" last night after hearing some good reviews and were not disappointed.  It was really good.   It starts off in the beginning with the star of the movie, Kirk Cameron, who plays a Fire Chief, chastising a rookie firefighter saying he was never, ever, to leave his partner under any circumstances during a call.  His partner depended on him and needs to know he's there.  It is a safety issue and very important to be ...

I was not happy that we were forced to watch Obama last night.  I mean sure, we could turn off the set but maybe, just maybe we wanted to watch our regular programs.  I sure, as heck, didn't sit in front of TV with baited breath inhaling every word that spilled from his mouth.  He must really think himself worthy to do such a thing.  Did you catch Obama's comment about how the Republicans are calling him a socialist probably because he shared his toys in kindergarten? ...

I had been looking forward for months on returning to my home state of Maine.  I longed for the bright colors of fall and the crisp red apples that awaited me as we planned our trip back home.  I was not disappointed. With my suitcases packed with fleece, long-sleeved shirts and real shoes and socks not to mention a winter coat I boarded the plane with much anticipation.  This anticipation only grew as we approached the coast of Maine and oh.....the colors even from the...

How about a little JU poll to make the election even more interesting?  Since we live all over the country it would be informative to check each one of our states and see if we can report who has the edge in their perspective state.  The national polls and maps I've seen so far have Florida as a blue state.  I was very surprised at this because here I was thinking I left a blue state for a red one only to see these latest polls, until today.  So it's looking like Flori...

I didn't know whether to put this under humor or politics to be honest.  It's so stupid it's laughable.  What were they thinking.  I read this in today's newspaper.  In KY the Frankfort State Journal has reported that the director of the Legislative Research Commission has received a 47% raise in salary going from $132,000 to $195,000.  For those who are inept at math this is a $63,000 increase.  What kind of a message is this sending to state employees?&...

The  news story dated yesterday I'm about to share with you rips my heart out and is one reason I am so against abortion.  I'm sure this happens more than is reported as many testimonies have been reported.  It's just wrong and to think we're about ready to elect a President who doesn't really have any problems with this sort of thing is just beyond me.  Remember Obama was against the Born Alive Protection Act.  A Florida baby who was born and died in an abortio...
