Need some incentive?

 This November election might be the most important in history. Seriously. Our country is not having a debate about the direction it is being taken, it is just being taken.

Still not convinced about President Obama's agenda? Listen to his own words,  as well as those in his administration and allies.



Vote this November. If you agree with his policies, let your vote count. If you disagree, for heaven's sake let your vote count. Let the people decide, but this hijacking of honest debate is wrong. Pushing policies and regulations through against the will of the people goes against the principles of this republic.  If voter turn out is apathetic-then we deserve what we get.

VOTE- and take a friend.

It's Constitution Day

I'm celebrating every single moment this document still stands.

You know you are old when...

Right now, even as we speak, my newly 16 year old daughter is out on her first date.

Boy is she going to kill me for this.

Harvest time...

My apple trees have produced....

Evil, evil, cupcakes!

For my Sunday sugar indulgence this week, I made these cupcakes...Just imagine: chocolate chip cupcakes, filled with a scoop of cookie dough after baking, frosted with cookie dough-esque frosting. Unbelievable.I think you must make these. Be warned.... E-V-I-L

I got a moose for my birthday....

 Actually two pounds of pure, unadulterated moose burger...it was fabulous!!!!

I

we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.

Today I cried with Glenn Beck.
I have listened to his radio show for over three years and have witnessed the evolution of a sometimes crass, over the top entertainer evolve into one of the most important voices in the world today.
Now  he talks about God, the Atonement, and our country's desperate need to return to Him. His ratings have sky-rocketed as he teaches truth from our founding fathers, and from the scriptures. People are hungry for his messages of truth.

He isn't known for being a religious leader of any kind, but today, at his 8/28 Restoring Honor gathering, he brought together hundreds of thousands of people, of all faiths and beliefs, to commit to restoring honor to our country. It truly wasn't about politics. Obama's name was never mentioned. God's was. And Jesus Christ's. Over and over, by all of the speakers and singers. It was amazing. In a time where we have all been told to keep God out of everything, hundreds of thousands of people were listening to and rejoicing in the idea of bringing God back into the forefront of the American way of life.

How many times have we heard the same story, different characters, but same plot line? Blessed people forget God. The ending is never good. A cleansing always occurs to humble His people and turn their hearts back to Him. I believe we are those people and have been slow to remember Him.

Our precious freedoms are being stripped away faster than we would have ever imagined in our wildest dreams. It is time to restore honor to our country, and it begins with each of us personally. If you aren't paying attention to what going on, it is time. If you are skeptical of Glenn Beck or Fox News, watch them along with CNN or whatever news source you prefer. But then, do your own homework. Find out what the truth is for yourself.
I believe that God will hold us personally accountable for letting  freedom slip away, for not standing for this great country's founding fathers and founding documents. For letting someone else tell us what we should believe. And for being lulled into believing "All is well in Zion".

I love this great country, and our founding fathers. I intend to do everything I can to help restore it to a place where freedom flourishes and all religions are welcomed, and most importantly, where God is honored above all else.
