I stayed up most the night, just hoping that Kerry would have the grace and good sense to put the country before himself. He did not. I find it rather like a child — while playing Candyland — cheats, lies and fusses their way through the entire game. When they don’t win, they claim someone…
Read MoreYou’re Voting in the Wrong Place
Our voting polling place was at an apartment complex near our Kroger. In a basement. I parked at the Post Office and walked toward the complex, as I walked down the sidewalk, a lady asked me if I were voting, to which I said, yes. She told me to turn around, that this wasn’t where…
Read MoreVote Early, Vote Often!
Well, with the apparent “intimidating” tactic of asking voters to prove who they are, it seems we in Ohio can vote as often as we like. I’ll brining a video camera to catch any tactics to haze, harass or embarrass voters. We won’t know who won (today), unless one of the candidates gets both Florida…
Read MoreI caught you a delicious bass
Michael W. Smith called over the weekend. Sarah Jessica Parker called on Friday. Sometime Saturday morning Ron Reagan (son of former President Reagan) called as well. I’ve heard that Bruce Springstein might call as well. I get the picture that our area in Ohio is much desired by both parties and that they want me,…
Read MoreAnd Sonya said,
Well, it is good and I recognize it can be bad soon enough, so I just accept and thank God for the times when life goes well. Abigail has adjusted well to school and so has Elliott. I am treasuring the times I have alone with each of them … times that i am not…
Read MoreHalt
There has been a definitive halt in our bathroom. All it needs is cabinet doors, but they apparently aren’t ready yet. Somewhat frustrating, but we could’t be happier with the results. I need to shower and eat lunch and do some work and go to the bank. I’m just starring blankly at the screen, unfocused…
Read MoreElliott can talk … a lot
“Mommy broke the balloons cover daddy. She broke it. See. She broke it. She put the groceries on it and it broke. Like this. See. It’s broke daddy. Mommy broke it. Let me break it; see, like this…” (proceeds to put the CD cover on my legs and press down on it as hard as…
Read MoreConvenient Hypocrisy of Free Speech
How is the ACLU not demanding the revocation of the tax-exempt status of the Friendship Missionary Baptist Church in Miami for endorsing a political candidate? How is this not an endorsement of a political agenda? Where’s the ACLU and their invocation of “Separation of Church and State”? Why is Kerry allowed, in essence, to give…
Read MoreMusic that Harms the Soul
Jewel makes me violent. Anything she sings. I cringe. I want to punch someone. Repeated. She’s not good for the moral fiber of the country.
Read MoreIllness and Church transitions
It’s a dark and rainy cool October morning. Abbie is home sick from school — not only because of a cold, but both her eyes have been very red and itchy for a day or two. I got very little sleep this weekend – both kids are plagued with colds and coughing through the night….
