Less than stimulating stimulus

Senator Judd Gregg (R-NH) withdrew his bid as Commerce Secretary yesterday, citing differences with the Economic Stimulus bill. He has been quoted as saying that he was "concerned that the White House was going to try to take control of the US census by moving it from Commerce dept to White House." His withdraw was a surprise to many, considering he was Obama's choice for Commerce Secretary. Sen. John MC Cain said that Sen. Judd Gregg was one of the most knowledgeable in the Senate, and was glad to have him back.

The idea of moving the census to the white from the Commerce Dept, where it has always is been, "Is very bad!" Sen McCain said.

This "economic" Stimulus bill passed Senate with no help from the Republicans. I saw this bill last night. When stacked it was about a foot and half tall. Seriously, who read that??? Some of the things that were stuck into that bill is sneaky and conniving, but hey, look who we are talking about...

But the whole world is still all about this guy, I am so amazed. Well you won't be when he is in charge of your medical decisions (Universal Health care Plan, It was in there!)Another fun fact, $335,000,000 for sexually transmitted disease. Well that is employing who?

So, there you have it. Another sneaky little move by the higher ups. Unfortunately, your Democratic house read their 1,434 not so stimulating stimulus bill without even the slightest idea of what they were signing.They only had until 9 am. No restroom breaks for them!

Rest easy America. Your in Good Hands.

Pope Benedict Denies The Denier....Again

Today Pope Benedict had a meeting with American Jewish Leaders to discuss once again the seemingly never tiresome topic of Richard Williamson. The Holy Father tried once more to put in no uncertain terms exactly how he felt about the situation.

"It is beyond question that any denial or minimization of this terrible crime is intolerable and altogether unacceptable."Pope Benedict XVI

Ok, I think we get the point. Or at least we should. And we should all be moving forward. However. Some people just cannot seem to do so. In the Jerusalem Post :

He then repeated, verbatim, the prayer Pope John Paul offered when he visited the Western Wall in 2000 and asked the Jews to forgive the Christians who had persecuted them over the centuries. Benedict ended: "I now make his prayer my own."

We welcome this reiteration of the late pope's entreaty. Still, as the Holy Father may know, in Jewish tradition, absolution requires not just the confession of a sin, but its cessation.

Pssssttttt-

Someone tell them Ben's not Jewish!

Mom of Octuplets...angelina's twin

Noooooo she didn't have plastic surgery..."she is so not in that place"
Ok, I don't have too much say. I really feel as though this picture might say it all. I do however want to pose a question to the mohthers in world who lovingly accept children as God decides. Here it is...
IS THIS LADY NUTS OR WHAT?? I don't mean to be completely insensitive, but she was thinking only of herself when she said YES, not to God, but to Doctor "fill'r up"! She has at this time 3, yes that is correct, 3 children with disabilities at the moment. So, 50% of the current children residing at home need special attention, that she will be unable to give. Then, you add the fact that premies have a 20%-80% chance of cerebral palsy, her odds are really stacking...AND NO INCOME!!!"But I will provide for them when I graduate and get a job!" I am thinking with 14 children, even with a psychologist's salary she will struggle. I don't know, with the way this world is right now, our world is going down the flusher. I feel sorry for those babies.

In memory of...

I struggled with the decision on writing on this topic or not. I finally decided to write on it based on the fact that this blog is about LIFE, lost and loved. Yesterday was a crazy Valentine's party for my 5 children and the extremely large Home school group they are part of. As 75 kids swarmed the park with pink and red sprinkled cookies and kung-fu panda Valentine cards to distribute to their closest friends one of my best friends kept a secret of her own. Yesterday was her due date. This is just a date. We all forget the date, all of use except the mother eagerly awaiting that little bouncing boy or girl. She had not forgotten the date. She will never forget the date. My friend lost her baby girl(Clare). Her miscarriage was during hurricane Ike, 2 devastations at once. She assumed that since it had been this long, then she really shouldn't speak about it, I suppose. Maybe she thought nobody would understand that even though it has been this long it still feels like yesterday sometimes. Women who lose babies, lose a piece of themselves too. This is something they never get back, but they learn to adjust to life without it. Life changes forever for these women. I know. I am one of them. My son has a twin. He died very early in my pregnancy. But it didn't hurt any less. I remember the date every year. March 19 2003. Bittersweet. Lost a child, kept a child. So, this post is IN MEMORY OF... the moms who suffer the loss. May they always, always know that in the darkest of nights, Light is just ahead. Lean on Our Lady, she lost a child too.

Happy Birthday Apeman

As the 200th birthday of our favorite monkey approaches, scientist seem to be more and more in the face of the Christians, giving us the ever-loved "nana nana boo boo!" It appears as though some feel that a war that was waged nearly 150 years ago, is nearing its end, and that Christians should be waving the white flag. Its no secret that Darwin's findings and theory in general has brought modern day science to drastic heights, especially in law enforcement. Where would be without the advancement in DNA studies and the technology necessary to do them? I shudder to think...But, Here it was has me saddened, and quite frankly, a bit angry. Apparently, The State Board Of Education in Texas voted to Delete the provision that students learn the strengths and weaknesses of the theory. It was to teach that there is other alternatives to this theory. But Andy Ellington, a University of Texas evolutionary biologist, called that argument “almost amusing.”
“You have these folks who are trying to suggest that we shouldn't teach evolution as something our kids need to know,” he said. “But at the same time, there are these new technologies out there shaping our lives every day.” (Hou. Chron) Here is what I find amusing. things do evolve. Absolutely.
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2 Now the earth was [a] formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
9 And God said, "Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear." And it was so.
10 God called the dry ground "land," and the gathered waters he called "seas." And God saw that it was good.
11 Then God said, "Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds." And it was so. 12 The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.
And then came day, and night, and man and woman,(7th day he rested) and then of course original sin.... and then that's about time he said ....
"Let them evolve...and they did!"
