An Occuring

While driving down the road this past week I hear something very shocking on the news segment. The powers that be are calling any evidence gained by waterboarding inadmissable in court during the trials of terrorists. WHAT???????????????????????????

Okay, let me get this straight. I'm doing what feels good, having a big time and UH OH I'm pregnant. Well no big deal - that can be taken care of but I must wait until the "fetus" is big enough to kill so we'll shoot for about 8 weeks along (at which point there is a clear heartbeat a forming brain, budding limbs and all major organs are developing). The media and popular culture after all have made it clear that inconvenience is all the reason one needs to end a life. Let's delve into this life for a moment. This life has committed no sin, did not ask to be conceived, is the most innocent of all human life and yet is in more danger than a terrorist who at the very least was part of the plot to attack New York and D.C. on 9/11 and
in all likelihood many other schemes born in the ideology of hatred and murder. There is irony here but it is so sick its hard to contemplate.

These terrorists will no doubt walk! I mean that literally, they will be walking the streets of Mayfield possibly, Paducah, Louisville, Nashville and at what point will their new plot hit us here in our own hometown. Am I the only person who is appaulled by this. Our President has a problem with tactics used to get information from people who have an international record of involvement with terrorist groups and activity. This same man told Planned Parenthood while campaigning that he would be their advocate in the White House. This organization provides more abortions on demand than any other in our country. I have no respect for Mr. Obama. How can I? I still have a disconnect when I try to understand how parents can look at their child with the love that they no doubt have for them and still think that atrocities in the womb are okay, necessary, fine, or however they might put it.
Disconnect is right - they do not connect that precious child with the one that grew in their mother's womb, BUT HOW????????????????????????????????????? Do they look at them and think "Yeah, you were good enough to make the cut" "lucky for you Mommy didn't get knocked up while we were in college". These are questions that I would love to have answered.

Okay, I'm done for today. I will try to remember to pray for our President, but I admit its very hard to have compassion for someone who seems to display none except that is for terrorists! I must though. I must love the unlovable because I after all am unlovable to some as well. Thanks be to God for Jesus Christ who loved me long before I ever came to be.

I'm back!

Well, its been a while! I think doing facebook was my fix for the last several months and now

I have taken a break from the infamous FB. It was taking up too much time....yes I was addicted. Now I figure I will do some blogging more regularly for the outlet that I so need.



I've been driving a bus route for the last 8 weeks or so for Tammy who had surgery. She is
married to a cousin of mine and has been so helpful in getting my foot in the door at the bus
garage. They know me very well by now and I should get a full-time route this fall thanks in
part to Tammy, she has been a Godsend. I enjoy driving quite a bit. There are a few teenagers
who try the patience with their attitudes that enter the bus way before they do, but overall the kids are great. Getting past the look down their nose at me teachers is no biggee either since
in actuality they are in the minority - thank goodness! I will get the same health benefits as
teachers and work 3 hrs a day doing something I really enjoy so if some people want to
assume things about me, let them! I'm laughing all the way to the Dr.'s office. Hahahaha.



Seriously though since paying for private health insurance for the past 7 months or so we have
seen the great importance of good health coverage - wow! I can't wait! I think the last time I took my healthcare for granted was when Marty was at Goodyear and we had the awesome insurance that they paid for in full. That was at least 4 years before he quit. They had cut benefits bigtime since then.



Garret is growing up and I'm in denial, I think. He will be 12 soon. He is getting so huge and taller...OMG. He helps me so much with Cole. I was really sick last week and he gave that child a bath every night for me. Marty was working most nights so Garret was awesome! Don't think for a minute that he didn't bring that up when asking about his allowance either. Oh yeah - he wants to be paid but he actually cleaned his room too so I obliged. ;)



Okay so far this has been admittedly boring. How can I spice this blog up? Without delving into straight out gossip. Hmmmm....I'm at a loss. Okay Politics it is! While driving for Garret's fieldtrip last Friday I had an interesting conversation with another parent. He was telling me how he is buying wood and supplies every time he gets paid instead of saving any $$. He wants to be prepared in case the unthinkable might occur. For example, no food or at least no access to food. Chaos breaking out. Riots and such and the government attempting to disarm everyone. This person believes that this is iminent and I'm pretty sure I agree with him. I feel that life as we have known it over my lifetime is changing as I'm writing and will continue to at an alarming pace. I didn't mention this to him at the time but I read a newsletter from David Wilkerson, pastor of the Times Square Church in NY City that details how a catastrophe is going to occur very soon in our country with resulting riots in all major cities. I feel strongly in my spirit that

this type of thing is going to happen, but when I'm not sure. I'm trying to pray about it and cover my family in prayer and trust the one to whom I pray. He is able to provide, protect, and care for all of His children.



Well, my hand is getting tired. I hope anyone who happens across this will be encouraged that although I seem to be focusing on the negative, I'm just touching on something that is reality but that God is able - never changing and always faithful. The prophet Jeremiah is clear about what is happening as well as in Daniel and Revelation. We're living it that's for sure. God Bless you!
