Today marks 2 years since the son of this friend was killed. I posted this piece 4 days later, on 2-10-2010. Reposting it today in memory of Christian, & in honor of his parents~You just go.I went to a wake today. The teenage son of a High School classmate of mine died tragically this week. It was a sad day; the shocking loss, the burdens to be borne by the parents, siblings. What struck me more

Few things come free in this life, and I get one of them! My darling friend Sandy is the Editor for our local Republican Women's newletter. I'm not a member of said organization, but I get their newsletter (& membership applications) at each publication -- for FREE!

A cowboy named Bud was overseeing his herd in a remote pasture in Montana, when suddenly a brand-new BMW drove up out of a cloud of dust.The driver, a young man in a Brioni® suit, Gucci® shoes, RayBan® sunglasses and YSL® tie, leaned out the window and asked the cowboy,"If I can tell you exactly how many cows and calves you have in your herd, will you give me a calf?"Bud looks at the man, who is

So I'm in the yard this morning, coffee in hand, waiting for our school bus w/ my daughter. I'm pulling a weed here & there, admiring what surely is the last day lily of the summer. One must know first, it's most unusual to have a day lily bloom (of this variety) past mid July. But here she is - "Brocaded Gown" in all her yellow, ruffled beauty. And if that's not enough to pique my surprise, I

She has written guest columns for GTBI and added plenty to the texture of 'comments' discussions. She's back now, with a piece she wrote as the newsletter Editor of her Republican Women's group.

I just love Dick Morris~The next 16 months may not play out exactly as Mr. Morris 'predicts,' but his history with these matters is deep, & his searing ability to 'read the tea leaves' is proven enough for me.

Today we were presented with a table full of postcards. We were asked to select one & write a travel diary entry that would represent its story. The card that "struck" me was a picture of a broken lightbulb. I knew why, even as I walked back to my seat,

A little over a year ago, I wrote a post about a time of personal struggle. I didn't have 'answers' to why the struggling happened, & had no evidence of the 'good' that God would bring from it. But slowly, and with certainty, I'm gaining perspective on that difficult 'season' in my life.

Mr. Obama has no idea what he's doing.

" 'Walker wants to end collective bargaining,' is the wail.Actually, what the governor wants to end is the scandalous practice of powerful unions raising millions and running phone banks and get-out-the-vote operations for politicians who thank them with wages, benefits and job security no private employer can match."Dovetailing into my most recent post, Patrick Buchanan's piece from Taki's

Too searing not to post. Emphases mine...OBAMA’S BUDGET BLUFFBy Dick Morris & Eileen McGann02.14.2011The Obama Administration and its acolytes on the Bowles-Simpson deficit reduction commission are propagating the myth that it is Social Security and Medicare that are driving the deficit over $1.5 trillion. Discretionary spending, they plead, is but a tiny part of the budget, not much worth

Found this Henri Nouwen quotation in two different places recently. Maybe that's 'a sign' nudging me to share..."Forgiving does not mean forgetting. When we forgive a person, the memory of the wound might stay with us for a long time, even throughout our lives. Sometimes we carry the memory in our bodies as a visible sign. But forgiveness changes the way we remember. It converts the curse into a

The Obsolescence of Barack Obama:The magic of 2008 can't be recreated, and good riddance to itBy FOUAD AJAMINot long ago Barack Obama, for those who were spellbound by him, had the stylishness of JFK and the historic mission of FDR riding to the nation's rescue. Now it is to Lyndon B. Johnson's unhappy presidency that Democratic strategist Robert Shrum compares the stewardship of Mr. Obama.

Did you know that Sharia law has been codified into United States Federal Law? Yes. Our President, along with Democrats - drunk on power & partisan pride - signed & secured it 6 months ago.“What?!” you screech. “No way!”“Yes…As sure as I live & breathe.”There's a thing called “Dhimmitude,” & it’s buried deep in the bowels of Obamacare, like a tapeworm, preparing to mercilessly sap our society of

Ok.My kids are back in school. I'm working part time, but not today...I'm on the Board of Directors for a group that needs a head/shoulders picture of all their Directors for a website.

The Last Refuge of a LiberalBy Charles KrauthammerFriday, August 27, 2010*(all emphases mine)Liberalism under siege is an ugly sight indeed. Just yesterday it was all hope and change and returning power to the people. But the people have proved so disappointing. Their recalcitrance has, in only 19 months, turned the predicted 40-year liberal ascendancy (James Carville) into a full retreat. Ah,

I am a Christian. My life is dedicated to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (though that's not as evident as I would hope it some day will be...).Jesus is my favorite Jew. He is 'of the lineage of David,' whose God is the God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob. I believe what the Bible says about Jews being the Chosen Ones of God, and that I (a Gentile) am considered among the 'chosen' only because of Jesus
