I know, I know, I'm making fun of the Dems but it's just so hard to pass up.  Sent to me by one of my ant friends!   OLD VERSION The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. The grasshopper has no food or she...

For centuries many have speculated over who the antichrist would be.  Many pointed to the tryants of yesteryear as the man of perdition but they would come and go and we'd go on to the next bad guy who surely must be the man of the hour.  Many movies in recent years have been attributed to him and many speculate on the when and who still today.  Many, as I do, believe he's among us today.  He wouldn't even know he's the man appointed for this task yet. So wh...

Ballroom dancing is progressing.  We had lesson #2 last night.  First we went over last week's lesson as an overview and realized we were practicing the rumba wrong.  When we finally got that straightened out, we were actually feeling good about our dancing for the first time since we started dance lessons.  Still have gads to learn though.  Instead of hearing from the lips of my frustrated husband "you owe me big time for this"  I heard this week,...

There seems to be alot of controversy about this H1N1 vaccine.  I'm hearing alot of contradictary statements about this.  Some say it's going to become mandatory while others say there's no way they can make it so.  On one hand they say they'll have plenty of vaccines and then they say on the other that they are  quickly running out.  I've also heard that the swine flue is actually dying out and then I heard whole schools are being infected by it. ...

I can't help but offer up kudos to a person I've never met after hearing her story this week.  My husband works with a young man whose aunt has crafted White House Christmas ornaments for decades.  Every year she gets some sort of letter requesting her Christmas ornament for the upcoming Christmas holiday.  Well guess what happened this year?  She got her expected letter per usual or so she thought until she read it.  Now keep in mind she's given a hand crafted ...

A few months ago I brought up the topic of ballroom dance lessons to my husband.  Would he be interested?  Would he enjoy it?  Would he commit to maybe a six week period and see it through?  He seemed agreeable.  When we were much younger, and before kids, we used to go out to the bars (yes bars) and go dancing.  Of course it wasn't anything fancy like ballroom but we would do the traditional waltz and shakes on the dance floor with no thought of f...

So, here we go.   This is the first I've heard of this.  Perhaps I've been too busy but the word out there says Obama wants to control the Web; making it a Washington controlled utility.   Good grief!  It's been less than a year and look what's been happening.  Can you imagine what the next three years are going to bring us?  Can't say I'm surprised.  Time will tell.      http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/20...

While I can't take credit for this I totally agree with it.     Terrorist Groups Operating In Churches Latest news reports are that five terrorist cell groups have been operating in many of our churches.  They have been identified as:  Bin Sleepin, Bin Arguin, Bin Fightin, Bin Complainin, and Bin Missin.   Their leader, Osama Bin Lucifer , trained these groups to destroy the Body of Christ .  The plan is to ...

Recently I've been studying at length Israel's  ancient history during the times of the Kings.  More specifically I'm reading about the four kings in the prophet Isaiah's lifetime.  I couldn't help but draw some comparisons to what's happening in our country today.  Not for the better I might add.  The King's success or failure was directly related to their relationship with God.  Israel suffered or prospered as a result of the current King's actions.  ...

Did you hear about the latest on the news today?  It's about a Mom who watches the neighbors' kids at the bus stop for the other moms.  She got a letter from the State advising her to stop because it was akin to working in an unlicensed daycare and since she was not licensed by the state she was ordered to stop watching the neighborhood kids.  If it rains she was told to leave them outside and have their parents give their kids an umbrella.  Ridiculous! &nbs...

Have you ever played the fool?  I sure have done and said some foolish things in my life but as far as I know, I'm not characterized by that term. We've all played the fool from time to time but some seem as though they could make a living from it.  In other words some are just born naturals.   A fool is one who is habitually unwise, silly or some may say a dupe.  He hasn't a clue. He continues not to learn from the mistakes of his past repeatin...

I saw an interview with Patrick Swayze before he died.  He said "the only thing you can take with you when you die is love."  Very perceptive.  Sometimes it takes a close call with death to understand truly what is important in life.  My husband came home the other day and said the IRS is getting brutal, more than usual, in accepting deductions.  I guess one lady donated about $10K worth of clothing and supplies to victims of a 2006 hurricane and the IRS rejected h...

Totally.  Frustrating.  I screwed up big time.  I could kick myself.  I was NOT a happy camper.  I ran a road race today.  It was the first one I've run since January.  Same course.  So my goal was to beat my last time.  The weather here today was humid and much hotter than January so it was a good goal.  I started off fine.   I was pretty close to goal time for the first mile.  At about a mile and a half, I wasn't ...

Months ago I was told that on September 25th our country was going to celebrate the first National Muslim Day of Prayer.  I thought surely this must be a hoax and just a negative reaction to those opposing the President's Muslim heritage.  Well it seems as though it may be true after all.   I was just informed that my daughter-in-law's mom, who is a teacher has that day off from school as a national holiday.  A Muslim National Holiday here in our country?&nbs...
